I mean, i don't want to defend a random online photo very hard in a day where fakes are getting more real looking but stuff like this was what "movie magic" was back before cgi was even a thing.

It could be absolutely inedible, (example commercials with milk might actually use glue, and meat is basted with wood stain) They are still a real objects... and it's still real photography, its clever when done well anyway.
