The "May We Suggest"...

I'm new, so I don't know if there is a certain way to set vegetarian status, but I'm really getting annoyed when I look at the may we suggest thing for foods and get meat. I don't want to even think about eating meat, and the tool is basically useless when it recommends me meat.

Anyone else annoyed by this?

it's just as useless when it recomments that i eat brussels sprouts, which it does every day, without fail.  yeah, it annoys me.

I really think they should have some way to set vegetarian on your account so it doesn't recommend meat to vegetarians

i don't see how that's really necessary...

Yeah, what is it with the brussels sprouts - it's not even that it recommends them every day, it's that three of my five recommendations are brussells sprouts, every day.  Can't stand the darn things.

My "may we suggest" always suggests things that I go out of my way NOT to eat, like more-processed versions of foods I eat in a relatively natural state. I eat a mostly-veggie diet so of course it picks up on the time I had chicken last week and keeps re-suggesting it (you liked chicken, so why not try FROZEN chicken?) ... argh.

When I eat a banana, it suggests a medium banana (thanks!). When I drink a Blue Moon beer, but choose to enter it as a generic "beer" because the Blue Moon entry is screwed up (it says the calories come from "other" rather than alcohol) ... of course it recommends Blue Moon to me.

Haha that's funny.  I don't eat any fruits or vegetables and it doesn't suggest those to me.  Maybe it's a sign from a higher power that you need to eat meat :).  Mmmmmm beeeeef.

I am vegan and mine always suggests a new type of cheese for me and wild caught salmon...ugh

do you think blue moon has some kind of sponsorship?  because it has never suggested anything besides that particular brand.

My favorite suggestion was ...

You like: Beer

May we suggest: Brussell Sprouts

Ummm, no.

It doesn't bother me because it's a feature I don't use, so I just ignore it.  After all, it's just a computer program; why take it personally?  I can't be judged by a mindless program.  There are lots of CC+ features I use, and some I don't.  Pick and choose what you need and don't take it all so seriously.

Oh, back when I was still logging foods, the best suggestion I got was raw brown rice.

YUMMY.

 How are you still alive?

"You like: Watermelon

May we suggest: Watermelon"

Well, that was redundant!

It's a totally useless tool for just about everyone anyway. I completely ignore it.

I think that thing is just there to annoy people.

I don't understand why it suggests food that gets a lower grade than what I logged.

For example, Today I logged Olive oil, which gets a B. It suggested I use canola oil, which gets a C. So if it's suggesting something 'worse' than what I already eat, What the point of it?!

haha but I don't think it ever recommended brussel sprouts for me.

Hey, I'm new too...

And I don't even know where the "May We Suggest" thing is on the site...

(just joined today. :D )

I haven't seen it. Can you help me out?

After reading through this post I figured I would look at my food suggestion list (which I rarely do) .... lo and behold there is the brussel sprouts - there must be a brussel sprout farm that sponsors the site .... anyway, it made me chuckle!

Instead of the Veggie Delite sub at Subway it suggested that I have the Meatball Marinara......wha???!!!
