The truth is that visual temptation is very important to people before buying food. The visual performance of the food determines the sale of the product.

Food processors and manufacturers are often large companies, many of which are multinational corporations. They are focused on designing foods to learn consumer preferences and expand market share. Dining plants in the U.S. are spreading nationwide, but since the 1980s the number has been decreasing in some areas (Edmonson, 2004; ERS, 2014c). Food processing and manufacturing shipping account for about 14% of all manufacturing plants in the United States (ERS, 2014 c). Food processors and manufacturers continue to adapt to retailer sales and feedback from orders. As shown in Figure 2-6 in Chapter 2, the food manufacturing industry has increased 16% of the total added value of the food supply chain. This is the next high added value of the restaurant industry.
