It’s a dangerous world out there, folks. Should we add food blogging to that list of things to watch out for? That’s the question posed by Leslie of The Weighting Game.
Leslie got a letter from a reader who originally asked this question about food blogging being addictive and possibly some kind of eating disorder. The reader had started a food blog, but soon realized that it made her obsess about food and actually “hide what (she) was eating from the internet.” She has since stopped blogging.
Although I follow plenty of food blogs myself, I’ve never run across the type of blog that The Weighting Game and its commenters are talking about, the kind that is more of a food journal than a food blog. I personally think there’s nothing wrong with sharing photos and recipes and having serious or fun discussions on food related topics. I do think this a great question to ask ourselves, though, so what is your opinion on food blogging as an eating disorder?
