Why do you have to make food into a piece of art?

perhaps to introduce people to the word " art ". they get curious and that leads ttem to visit an Art Gallery, wishful thinking on my part.

When you go out and eat and I'm not talking Long John's or McDonalds, You are given a "dining experience".
The chef and his/her team are respossibly for that. Basically they're playing to your senses. It has to smell good it has to taste good and the texture of the food has to be correct. And it has to be visually appealing, hence, food into art. Let's face it do you really want to eat something that looks like it was puked onto your plate? No, that's why all of these things have to be met. If one thing faulters you will not enjoy you're meal as much as you can and chefs usually take great pride in both their kitchen and the meal sent out.
I've actually eaten in places that I sat there and stared at my plate it was presented so beautifully. When the server asked me if anything was wrong I laughed and said "Yeah, It looks to good to eat!"

Im a cook.
People eat with their eyes first. then smell. then taste.
A good presentation will cause the person to desire that food and make them hungrier. A good presentation also states your skill level and ho much the food is "worth"
Have you ever saw an ad. with food that made you crave it? what made you hungry? its all about the presentation of the food.
hope this explains.

Great cuisine pleases all the senses: Sight, smell and taste...
Besides, it's part of being Human to turn everything we can into art. That's not a bad thing either... ;)

to make the food look good to eat.
if you made the vanilla and chocolate syrup mixed up or half on one side and half on the other , it wont look as appealing as it on top with a cherry on top!
