I need to bring up a very important matter…one that is shared often on the internet and with a lot of debate. This affects everyone who partcipates in social media marketing on the internet and has significant ramifications (Ramifications! Wow!)…

Updating ones Facebook Wall and Twitter stream about what you are currently eating.

Ok. I spilled it.

I know a lot of you reading this article at this moment have to be thinking ‘Darn…Kenny truly did it! He brought it out in the open!’ It needed to be said….and it must be answered.

I will get right to the point. I support and also recommend that everybody on Social Media to frequently Facebook and Tweet what you’re eating and drinking…essentially at all times.

We currently see alot of evidence of this on-line. Let me explain to you why it is so essential.

Most of us eat a couple of times a day. Many try eating as much as 5-6 times every day. A handful actually 10-20! (damn you go…but save a little for the rest of us ok??) Which means that it’s undoubtedly something that everybody does a ton of. We additionally up-date our Wall on Facebook and Tweet frequently on top of that. A few far more than other folks I realize and many update far more than they eat.

And so doesn’t it seem sensible to mix both?

Since the dawn of time we have bragged about what we ate for dinner the evening before at work the next day. “Man, I ate some rockin’ Tortellini yesterday with some insane buttery garlic bread!” Utilizing Social Media these days we are now far more ‘immediate’ regarding it.

Real time. Real eating.

Honestly, once you consider it, I think that’s what Social Media was invented for. Because it sure ain’t any good for advertising and marketing! *wink*

I don’t know about all of you, but now I’m at the stage whereby I check out my Facebook and twitter for just what everyone is chomping down and also what tasty refreshments they’re enjoying. I’m done with the Twitter updates on Forex, quotes by Confucius and how much Kim Kardashian loves us and her high heels.

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

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

But I digress (been waiting to make use of that phrase for some time…)

Give me a turkey and swiss with a Heineken update any day…and if possible with a picture.

Which reminds me: Photos with the updates are a must! You want to look at what everyone is enjoying, right? That should be 50% of your updates whenever possible.

Now onto the detractors, or what I dub the ‘online food downers’. (I haven’t thought of a better catchphrase than that so suggestions are welcome in the comments below!)

Everybody knows who they are. They complain online routinely regarding the…well…updates on food.

‘If I read yet another update about what you ate for lunch I’m deleting you blah blah…’

Is that so? So you’re so offended by my lunch Tweet you have to delete me? So inconvenienced that I’ve clogged up your stream (eww!) that you’ll miss that important update on the newest Twitter spamming software program?

Well get a frickin’ life Mr. ‘You could make 197 grand on Twitter beginning tonight’ because we all know you’re hogging down a Foot Long Sub and washing it down with a Yoohoo using the $8.54 you actually made!

And so there you have it. Just like the title states, I make absolutely no apologies for my #tweetingwhatimeating and I also plan to even step it up several notches, and on my blog set up page.

And it’s time that 1…everyone confess that we love to eat more than we’ll ever fess up to and want absolutely everyone to see it constantly and 2…accept that this is the Real reason Social Media was created.
