Depends on if you are talking pictures for advertising or pictures people take of their meals. Most ad shots are of inedible objects that are kept for later use.

There's plenty of epoxy resin covered Big Macs and similar one could theoretically eat. Some are decades old.

Edit: it's edible, just fermented

Kinda like a picture of a tree shows leaves that don't exist any more?

Or a photo of the sky shows clouds that don't exist any more?

Or a photo of a person shows hair that doesn't exist any more?

It’s organic matter. It exists in a different state whether it be shit, dirt, carbon, etc.
