"Food Throttle is for people who think something about themselves is unbalanced or out of whack," says product lead Ben Fisher. "We can make it right, make it balanced." And the photos, which will serve as ads, help embody that brand position. *Photo: Dennis Adelmann/Carolin Wanitzek*

"We want to prep people to look at the food they eat in a new way," says Adelmann. "The viewer of the work is going to change their consumption process of food just by looking at the food as art, instead of as 'food' in the traditional sense." *Photo: Dennis Adelmann/Carolin Wanitzek*
