RE: A Suggestion (About Ranking CR Foods)

[Guest guest]

This is good thinking and effort. How about *every person*

who cares create a list like 's? Then we collect all of

the lists and for each food, post the average score.

" Most highly recommended " gets .... 10 points

" Heavily emphasize " gets .......... 8 points

" Emphasize " get ................... 6 points

" Non-committal " gets .............. 4 points

" Avoid or minimize " gets .......... 2 points

" Avoid like the plague " gets ...... 0 points

Of course, you could have a " food of the week " poll.

Every week, we do one food (or 5 foods ...) this way,

where everybody gets a chance to vote once on each

food for that week.

Thanks for stepping up to the challenge .

You came forward first, and set the example.

And Rodney, you had the concept and idea.
