It doesn't shock me. People do eat with their eyes, which is why upscale places tend to spend a lot of time working on plating the dishes. If you just slop it on there, people won't perceive it as tasting so good. This is more of the same. Food is fuel, but it's also entertainment in a sense, especially junk food and restaurant food.
I completely agree with food being associated with entertainment. In my experience that is generally why we eat. Food has always been around for me so I ate junk food and this and that. There are some places though were people eat what they can get there hands on.
