Great article Janet. I have a whole list, in an article called “Love Chocolate? Ban Words Like Indulge and Treat”: http://www.eatwhatyoulovelovewhatyoueat.com/2010/02/chocolate-lover-ban-words-like-indulge-and-treat.html

By the way, when does your new book come out?

Nice site.

So pleased to have found it. I googled “nutrition blogs,” because I wanted to have some new sites to read. (One of the ones I liked has changed a lot. Apparently the writer got pregnant, so writes about food and nausea in the same post!)

Good lists. Thanks again.

I completely agree with you about words that make certain foods “forbidden.” It’s all about your overall habits and lifestyle!

I love this!

I particularly don’t like the term “guilt-free”. Eating shouldn’t make you guilty (and calling something guilt-free seems to bring on guilt!).

Amen! I am particularly in favor of abolishing the “guilt-free” and “fattening” — these barely make sense.

I saw “gluten-free!” on a sack of potatoes recently. Sheesh!

How about:
Delish
Yum-worthy [or anything else-worthy]
To die for

I would like to have these eliminated from the food blogger dictionary!

Well said. These food labels get on my nerves for real.
