The practice of being a "foody"/"foodie" (discussing foods, restaurants, recipes, taking food pics, trying new foods)

Sometimes it can introduce excitement in people's diet through the exchange of delicious recipes. However, sometimes it can be used as a 2 hour discussion filler for superficial people who lack intuition to think about things besides food or sex. People will often use it either with or as a supplement to office (at work or school) politics and rumors.
Foodyism is not counterculture; it is mainstream.

At work Alice and Bob decided to partake in discussing their foodyism instead of the usual office politics.
