Why Is Gold On Food Still A Thing? 🤔

why is adding Gold Leaf to food still a thing I mean a few years ago it seemed like just a short-lived Trend we'd eventually cringe at but it's still popular first off edible gold is safe to eat because it doesn't get digested and just passes through your body restaurants use it because it instantly makes any dish look fancy and luxurious surprisingly Gold Leaf is pretty cheap like less than a dollar but since it looks expensive restaurants can charge way more and people gladly pay absurd amounts to flex eating gold on social media
