I don't post reviews but have read many from different businesses. It's always good to get different thoughts.
When I use lettuce, it's not to substitute bread or bread products, it's to add to whatever.
If I tell you what I wished for it won't come true! 😞
Happy Thursday!!

-
Do you read online reviews much, not much or somewhere in between? I read some of them from "trusted" websites, however I don't give them {{all}} that much weight.

Have you posted online reviews of your opinions - for instance about restaurants, stores, etc.? Yes but I've been hearing about those who give negative reviews have found themselves in court or having to deal with the store/restaurant about negative reviews. I think it's best to avoid them all together.

Do you read or write comments on news articles? Yes, but I always check several news articles ~ not just one website or point of interest. Magazines and newspapers I also check several of and not just one.

Do the presence or absence of comments affect which websites you use? No

What do you think about so many opinions being available these days? Not for the most part. Consider the source whenever reading information.

-
Do you read online reviews much, not much or somewhere in between?
I do read whatever interests me. Check reviews on the products I want to buy too.

Have you posted online reviews of your opinions - for instance about restaurants, stores, etc.?
Yes, I do. Lots of people rely on opinions written by honest people, not some fake reviews written to get free products.

Do you read or write comments on news articles?
Both.

Do the presence or absence of comments affect which websites you use?
Some websites block comments. I can imagine why... But I read stuff for the content. Meaningful, intelligent comments are appreciated.

What do you think about so many opinions being available these days?
Many opinions are OK. They are helping me form my own opinion, and critical thinking
It would be pretty sad if everyone had just one unified opinion
That how I read my news - from different sources.


Foodie Questions:
There's a trend to use lettuce instead of bread, tortillas or other carbohydrate rich foods.
-Have you ever used lettuce to hold a burger or to hold taco fillings?

Occasionally I would have a lettuce wrap. Great for low carb lunches.


Do you know of or use any other carb subsitutes, and if so, what?
Any veggies in lieu of bread, potatoes, rice or noodles. Had a burger between two portobello "buns" - it was delicious. Or cauliflower pizza crust.


Just for fun:
Drop this coin in the wishing well and to make it come true,
Silly or serious, Tell us what you wished for:
Right now? A really good, restful sleep. I had over two weeks of poor sleep due to some really bad allergy.
