    I’ve been listening to a lot of TV and movie podcasts. Fake food is often more expensive than real food. Unless there is a good reason, food is more often than not real.

    But it’s rarely eaten.

    Actors have to do several takes and if they eat in the shot, they have to eat in every shot. A lot of young actors who don’t know often learn this very early in their career to never eat the food because they will forever be sick of it.

        For most shots, multiple shots can’t be avoided.

        You have to get coverage of the principal actors and unless they are all facing the same way, you always have to get shots in one direction and one shot the other direction.

      I think it was Zach Braff that mostly chose to have soup on the Scrubs set for this reason! And if I remember correctly Donald Faison never learned that lesson 😅
