I must bring up an important matter…one that is shared regularly on the internet and with a great deal of argument. This impacts all of us who partcipates in social websites on the internet and has significant ramifications (Ramifications! Wow!)…

Updating an individual’s Facebook Wall and Twitter stream on what you are currently eating.

There. I said it.

I am certain several of you perusing this at this moment must be thinking ‘Damn…Kenny really did it! He really brought it out in the open!’ This needed to be mentioned….plus it needs to be addressed.

I’ll get directly to the point. I support and also advise everyone on Social Websites to frequently Facebook and Tweet what you are eating and drinking…pretty much constantly.

We currently see a whole lot of evidence of this on the net. Allow me to inform you the key reason why it is so important.

Most of us try to eat more than once a day. Some try to eat as much as 5-6 times each day. A handful actually 10-20! (darn you go…but save some for us ok??) Therefore it’s clearly something that everybody does a ton of. We additionally update our Wall on Facebook and Tweet alot on top of that. Some far more than others I’m sure and some update a lot more than they eat.

Now doesn’t it make sense to combine both?

Since the beginning of time we’ve bragged about what we had for dinner the evening before at work the following day. “Man, I had some rockin’ Tortellini the other day along with some outrageous buttery garlic bread!” With the help of Social Websites these days we’re now a lot more ‘immediate’ regarding it.

Real time. Real eating.

Really, as you think about it, I do believe that’s precisely what Social Media was devised for. Because it certainly isn’t any good for internet marketing! *wink*

I don’t know about any of you, but now I’m at the stage where I search my Facebook and twitter for what everyone is chomping down as well as what fabulous beverages they’re enjoying. I’m over the Twitter updates on Forex, quotes by Confucius and how much Kim Kardashian loves all of us and her high heel shoes.

Speaking of Miss Kardashian (she’s not married right? I can’t keep up to date), I think she needs to step up her #tweetingwhatsheseating. I KNOW she eats! Right??

NOTE: We should really relabel Twitter ‘Kim Kardashian On Twitter‘. I presume all 200 Gazillion people follow her.

But I digress (been looking to make use of that line for some time…)

Give me a turkey and cheddar together with a Heineken update any day…and if at all possible with a photo.

Which brings me to my next point: Pics with the updates are a must! You wanna see what everyone is enjoying, correct? That needs to be 50% of one’s updates when possible.

Now on to the detractors, or what I dub the ‘online food downers’. (I haven’t made up a more suitable moniker than that so ideas are encouraged in the comments below!)

Everyone knows who these people are. These people complain online routinely regarding the…well…updates on food.

‘If I see one more update on what you ate for lunch I’m deleting you blah blah…’

Oh really? So you’re so genuinely offended by my lunch you gotta delete me? So inconvenienced that I’ve blocked your stream (eww!) that you’ll miss that critical update on the latest Twitter spamming program?

Well get yourself a frickin’ life Mr. ‘You could make 197 grand on Twitter beginning today because we all know you’re pounding down a Chipotle burrito and washing it down with a 44 ounce Coke with the $8.54 you actually made!

So there you have it. Like the title implies, I make absolutely no apologies for my #tweetingwhatimeating and I also plan to even step it up several notches, as well as on my blog set up page.

And it’s time that 1…everyone admit that we like to eat more than we’ll ever fess up to and want everybody to see it frequently and 2…accept that this is the True reason Social Websites was invented.
