We all eat food. Most of us enjoy this process (some a little too much). This is a place to discuss food in all its waist-stretching glory. You don't have to love food to post here, you just need to eat!
There are a number of ideals behind my creating this club.
1) To discuss the food that we are eating. Does it taste good? Is it healthy (an increasingly important issue in modern society)? Is it worth travelling across the world to sample? (there are a couple of places in Rome I can think of that just might be). This can be cooked yourself, by a family member, or in a restaurant. If it is food then it has a home here.
I don't want to tread on toes here, but the cooking club appears to be long dead. Recipes will of course be welcome here, but this club is not exclusively for those that like to cook at home.
2) For the more dedicated (and brave), to contribute towards a food diary of the meals that we are eating. Healthy eating is constantly in the news these days, and many people keep track of the food and calories that they eat in a day with a food diary. Noting down the things we eat is a great way to identify things that are in abundance in our diet, or in contrast missing altogether. For example I realised that I ate a lot of fish (4 or 5 times a week), and this can be unhealthy depending on the source.
Simply post what you have eaten (and so long as the post isn't getting too long, you could quote the last entry that you added so we can see a progression)
You don't have to post every day, though it works best with regular contribution, and you don't have to reveal every last thing you've had in a 24 hour period (some things we simply don't want to know about), but I think it would be great to see what a 'regular' person eats over a period of time, and especially in different parts of thr world.
3) Any other discussion that relates to food. Dieting. Restaurants. Food stories in the news (Such as the horse meat scandal recently). You get the idea.
Club rules:
1) Regular BBS rules. No need to request to join, simply start and stop posting whenever you feel you can add to discussion.
2) Keep it on topic, and rather than being critical of others eating habits, give constructive ideas on what they could try instead. This is not a place to prance about calling everyone fat just because they eat.
To mods- I've had a pretty thorough check of the C&C for similar topics, with only the cooking club coming up (both through key word searches and looking back over threads with posts in the last year). As I've stated above, this does encompass some of the cooking club ideas, but that club has been dead for nearly a year, and this brings a lot more to the table. I also feel this is a topic that can produce unending conversation (and is one that often pops up in general), and the club has been designed to make regular contribution as easy as possible. Fingers crossed it doesn't sink straight into oblivion now...
