I have my first column up on The Huffington Post today, and it’s getting a decent amount of traffic. I’m a bit torn: I’ve got my concerns with HuffPo and its business model (i.e., not paying most writers for content), but on the other hand, it’s nice exposure.
For now, I’ll just enjoy my prominent placement on the Health page and set my conflicted feelings aside to deal with another day.
Here’s the beginning of my post, which was fun to write:
Yesterday, my wife forwarded me an “Important Announcement Regarding Your Recent Purchase of Peanut Butter” that she got from Fresh Direct, the online grocery service here in New York City.
This was not a good e-mail.
As my wife will tell you, peanut butter is very important to me. She even mentioned it in our wedding vows (along with my love for the Pittsburgh Steelers). If I had to choose one thing to eat for the rest of my life, it wouldn’t even be a close contest — peanut butter would top the list.
And you know what? Compared to a lot of the other things that I love to eat, it’s not even that bad for me. Unless, of course, it’s packed with Salmonella.
