Our Favorite Gratuitously Sexy Food Photos of 2014.

This, folks, is why we're fat. Well, this and the late-night stops we make at Jack in the Box on the way home from the bar. But, yes, also this.

Do you guys even know how hard it is to edit food coverage that looks this good? It's very hard. Have you ever tried to edit photos and write-ups about food while simultaneously realizing that all you've eaten up to that point in the day was a banana? No? Well, let me tell you: It's not easy.

So, with this post, I hope we can flip the script some and get your stomach all growly at the thought of what you haven't yet eaten today and all that you still could. For the day is young. And the below options — as captured in our favorite pieces of food photography seen on this site in 2014 — are all ready to be ordered.
