Everyone has their own comfort food which are able to improve
negative emotion, releasing emotional stress and getting spirit
consolation. My comfort food (processed meat) unfortunately became
the A class of carcinogenic to be issued by World Health Organization
in October, 2015. I was very shocked when I heard the news from TV.
I totally enjoy eating my comfort food since my childhood. It is difficult
to digest the bad news. Therefore, I take a series of comfort food
photo such as hotdog, noodle with egg and luncheon meat, bacon roll
with enoki mushroom and hamburger in which beside with processed
meat photos shot by polaroid camera for expressing unbelievable news
- uncomfortable food.
