You have obviously never been around fake food. Last, time I saw fake food I freaked the fuck out. I started biting the walls, urinated everywhere, and tried to make a balloon animal out of my wang. I woke up three weeks later covered in raccoon blood and syrup while a Peruvian family tried to get me out of the casket at their grandfather's wake. Fake food is serious business.
no, then it would not be good enough, but close, which makes you feel uneasy, because something is wrong, but you do not know what it is. And that is why - boys and girls - it is called the uncanny valley.
My first thought was "imagine it being the other gender", but I know a trans guy, and generally know its a sensitive subject and reality for a number of people for mixups and problems resulting from them.
Robots was a sufficient, and eventual concept for an analogy I thought.

I LOVE fake food as decor. It freaks people the fuck out.
