Would any of you want a "health" category on this site?

...would any of you want a "health" category on this site?

Pretty much this hypothetical section of the website would talk about fitness, nutrition, & how to handle certain health conditions.

Ex. "What medicine do you recommend for seasonal allergies?"

"How much exercise is too much?"

"Is high-fructose corn syrup really that bad for you?"

"What foods have message in them?"

"How do you know if you have a food allergy?"

Who knows...the mods and admins may read the responses to this ? and create a new category. :)

Yes

No

btw...the 4th one was supposed to say:


"What foods have monosodium glutamine in them?"


I put the letters M, S and G to abbreviate & it inserted the word "message" lol.

Here is another probing, eye-opening question for all of you wonderful users to give your input on.


Thanks for clicking and responding. :)

I definitely think there are a few categories that they could add to this website. And I think a health category would be a really good addition. So many people want to be healthy, and there is so much different information out there. But I think that if people could as questions and get answers from people and their experiences, I think I would find that a huge benefit and value to GAG :)

I would be SOOO afraid of the types of questions that would pop up on that site. Also, the GAG team would ultimately get caught in the middle of complaints about misleading advisement from other members. Best to leave Health/Medical to the specialists and off this social site.

There are plenty of forum websites that are health-based by everyday ppl...

...if it were a serious concern, a disclaimer can be placed on the top of the page saying:

"It is highly recommend to consult a licensed physician before proceeding in any exercise routine or nutritional plan."

Problem solved. :)

True. It'd have to be in 40-point font, or we'll end up with the sort of people who sued McDonalds for selling big macs that made them fat... Sigh.

Since the powers of the moderators are limited, it would be up to the site administrators-and it's highly unlikely they'll add anything new anytime soon, if ever.

[drummerdude25]

I suggested something like this a little while ago... I think it'd be a great idea.

I mean, why not right?

[palek]

Nah, I'm sorry to say you might as well give it up, Don. I once tried to gather support for a new category called "Moral Poverty" and hardly made a ripple. It must be the economy.

[G_Day_Mate]

You're one sexy man, metaphorically.

[palek]

And taken metaphorically as well. ; - )

[eudaemonist]

Yes, I would. It'd be great if they were able to create a new health category for this site; it would be really helpful :)

[Quorra89]

Sometimes I catch myself looking for a health tab above haha. I think it'd be pretty helpful

[Corset]

Yea, I definitely think there should be one. (:

[amilleman]

I think it would be a wonderful idea.

[yewieman]

It would be great!
