For many reasons already mentioned by others, I like the no diet rule here.
FWIW, I think a subforum that allows diet talk would make life difficult for moderators because threads in General Discussion occasionally veer into diet territory (rarely, but mainly intermittent fasting the past few years it seems). I think it would get complicated for mods to determine when a General Discussion thread veers too off-path into "diet" and thus belongs more in a diet subforum. Sorry, I know it was just a possible idea thrown out there about having a subforum, but I thought I'd give my 2 cents why I think that could get tricky. |

Thanks, Jeannine! I looked at it some earlier today but didn't try logging in. Not that I need a fourth forum!

Yes, it would be great if the "Recipe Box" section was used more - I'd love more discussions around that! And yes, it's also my impression that food, eating, weight loss, and even the word DIET are all fine topic-wise (I've always been amazed that people think they have to type "D**T" or things like that). I believe those things are easily distinguished from what is not okay, including specific talk about diets/supplements, types of diets, how diet leads to weight loss (in fact, there is already too much of the last point here than I would prefer). That being said, I think anyone who has been around VF awhile clearly notices that there is... shall we say less regulation since Wendy has been gone? So some diet talk is likely to slip through. Personally, I appreciate when posters are respectful of this boundary and say things like "I lost weight by following a diet - PM me if you want more info" or "I'm taking a supplement that might help - PM if you want details." That gives users a choice whether to engage in further exploration/discussion, and it prevents (or at least helps to prevent) diet from becoming a contentious topic.

toaster, yes, that’s the recipe! This discussion reminded me that since we’ve had hot weather I haven’t made it in awhile. I have the ingredients and plan to make it tomorrow! Funny you got the recipe from the evaporated milk can. I’ve found some great recipes on boxes and the like—seems crazy but I’m sure they test those recipes endlessly to make sure they are good.

I noticed that too, and wondered if on other boards, the mod/owner simply deletes heated threads, rather than here, where they get locked and you can only find them by accident.
