Why do you read this blog?

Hi Nutritionista readers,

Inspired by forces outside of my control, I’ve been thinking a lot about this blog and its purpose. Among literally thousands of food/nutrition blogs, what makes mine worth reading?

So I’m asking you a question, and I’d really appreciate your honest feedback:

Why do you read this blog? What makes it worth reading for you?

Your feedback will help me make this blog even better — and contribute to some changes to come!

Thanks so much for reading this blog. It warms my lil food-loving heart.

ETA: Thank you to everyone who’s responded so far! I’ve read every single thing you wrote and it’s so useful/lovely. Please keep responding!
