But check out the mirror less dslr's its the future and they are interchangeable lenses. Besides eally how many lenses do you need to take photo's of food. Are you going to setup in your camo hut with your zoom lens waiting for the shot of the neighbors BBQ?

Most people stick with one or two lenses because either they don't have the desire to get more lenses (or money), or they don't understand what they can do with them.
I have a 28-70 f/2.8L, a 50mm f/1.4 prime, a 70-300 f/4-5.6, and the kit 35-80mm f/4-5.6. The 28-70 most often on the camera, I use the 50mm semi-regularly but especially with now with extension tubes for macro work, the 70-300 for wildlife and sports, and I still want/need a 16-28 or 17-40 wide angle for landscape. On the wish list are a 90mm macro lens and an 85mm prime.
It can be very easy to get into and use the crap out of multiple lenses if you shoot a variety of subjects and know how to use the lenses.
I also keep my iPhone on me, and I'm not afraid to pull it out if the moment arises.
