    What you posted was very logical. However, what
    about this? suppose you added a little content? I ain’t suggesting your information is
    not good, but what if you added something that grabbed folk’s attention? I mean Nutrition Savvy
    | Green Beans with Tomato & Vegetables is kinda boring.
    You ought to look at Yahoo’s home page and see how they write news headlines to get people
    to open the links. You might add a video or a related pic
    or two to get readers interested about what you’ve got
    to say. Just my opinion, it would bring your posts a little livelier.
