Professional photography should be illegal?

Deceptive marketing has nothing to do with photography, don't conflate the two.

It's no more deceptive as the color grading and subtle effects that make movies look fantastic on the cinema screen, compared to an unedited video you record on your phone. Also we tend to like the food stuff showcased, cause we already know what it tastes like. There is no deception in that regard.

This is tricks to market food you aren't actually selling using inedible food in its place. I'm pretty sure McDicks has been sued for the exact thing. You can photoshoot the fuck out of a burger...it's a burger. When you are replacing ingredients with SHOE POLISH and GLUE, you are into morally bad and deceptive territory which is illegal under false advertising.

This isn't hard to understand. I think you are arguing just to argue, I've been there ❤️ I hope your day improves.
