Delicious Food Videos Taking Facebook by Storm

Who would have thought a short video about food could be such a hit? It turns out Buzzfeed struck gold when it generated the Tasty channel one year ago, which has completely taken over social media with its fast-motion, aesthetically pleasing videos showing off recipes from start to finish.

Since Tasty went viral, others have hopped on the bandwagon making videos in the same style. Insider Food and Tastemade are Facebook’s newest additions, posting daily and increasing views and popularity by the millions.
