Which foods are worth buying organic vs. which does it not really make a difference, and why?
I know some foods have peels, shells, husks, etc. that might absorb or repel the harmful substances that are not present in organic farming. For example, white rice is 10x as expensive to buy organic. What is the benefit?

How do I search for recipes?
This question was last asked in 2012. I figure somethings must have changed in 11 years? I'm looking for a database of recipes that are gluten free with certain types of vegetables. Does that exist? If not, why not? Thank you

I work full time and have a family that is on a budget. This means that I am often forced to plan meals according to reusable ingredients in order to cut costs and minimize prep/cook time. Because of that, I often have recipes that operate either with leftovers from a previous meal, of, “the other half,” of a particular…

What's the problem with me eating a dinner of ice cream treats?
I have recently discovered that it seems to work for my dinner to entirely consist of the whole Greek oatmeal I like. I also keep lettuce and other fruits and vegetables I eat at a different random time in the night. I think Greek oatmeal works and I can have 500 to 1000+ calories depending on the brand. Why can't I buy a…

The Food Database Really Needs Curation and Editing
First off, although MFP is the best recipe builder and meal tracker I've found, it's woefully difficult to use, and also can't be exported?! Come on. Not even a CSV? Also, let's enjoy this glorious screenshot: Last time I check, mL wasn't a very logical or common measurement for a powder. Sure, it can be, I guess, but all…
