    Yelp Review

    While this shift has unquestionably resulted in a greater quantity of food writing, it has also given rise to a tendency to view this category writing primarily as data; most review platforms generally aggregate individual evaluative metrics to present an “overall” rating and present the reviews themselves in a uniform format that sometimes makes it difficult to easily gauge the reliability or relevance of any single review. An additional complicating factor is that the genre of online reviews is also shaped, to a significant degree, by the decisions of the corporations who provide review-writers with a platform. Although individuals often have a fairly large degree of freedom regarding the actual textual content of their writing, many other aspects of their reviews, such as length, layout, the ability to choose identity-based or anonymous usernames, photograph inclusion, and ratings systems, are dictated by platform providers and necessarily represent the embedded values of parties other than the writers themselves—which may conflict, or even be entirely at odds with the values of the review-writer (Kimmons,…

I know my diet is poor, I figured I ate too many bad foods, but I didn 't expect it to be lacking essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients in so many different areas. It 's truly amazing to see foods I thought were "complete" and "good" for me, aren 't really, and may actually hinder me in the quest for a truly healthy diet.…

I try to make wise food choices but sometimes I get distracted when my friends or boyfriend want to go out to eat and I end up falling into a whole menu full of fat foods.…
