I cook at home precisely so I can control the nutritional factors of my food, and purposely seek out blogs that provide that info with their content.

Josh Coleman

Because it's the right to do!

Roxanne Guilhermino

If meals are not healthy a comprehensive nutritional list should be provided to assist people/readers in making informed decisions regarding their health and nutrition.

Christina Bauer

Because why not? If you're posting a healthy recipe, why not explain WHY it's healthy.

Jessica Gormley

Although I don't think that every food blogger should be dedicated to healthy food, I do believe that they should let those who read their blogs be aware of the nutritional content of their food.

Erica B.

They shouldn't tell people to eat one way or another, but they should include nutritional information that will help readers make more informed decisions about what they are putting in their body.

Research elsewhere about food quality. Pay attention to ingredients bloggers use & decide if their site is right for your nutritional goals. Seek healthy food bloggers, like myself.

SERIOUSLY WHEN are we supposed to be responsible for our own actions? It is getting ridiculous in this country....nobody can think for themselves or be responsible for themselves!

Karen Young

Most people who look up recipes are already showing initiative in their steps to better health. Buyer beware applies in this case.

Caitlin Croswell

I think a lot of the food bloggers educating us about nutrition know nothing! They do more harm with their false education than they would without any!

Do you spend more hours a week watching traditional entertainment or user generated content?

Way more time on new media.

Switched to YouTube from Cable like it so much better because of what we normally watch is programmed for us.

Adam Nixon

I'd say it's like 60/40 in favor of things like user generated content, but it has more to do with time than anything else. Due to things like work and chores, I just don't have time during the day for movies/TV. But for a few hours in the evening, I tend to watch more movies/TV, which I prefer.

This is one of those where I'm voting the honest truth, even though I'd prefer it be the other (while still making time for Geekvolution, of course). I think it's because of how casually I can spend hours on YouTube, as opposed to being intentional about catching up on content I intend to consume.
