I mean, what are the chances that they have ever actually SEEN a food post? I have hundreds of social networking connections, and very few of those posts are about food. I have a theory: If the first post or photo someone sees or hears about is about food, they will hate Facebook/Twitter forever, unless they are into food. If the first post they see is about porn, they will complain, but secretly check back. If the first post is about their industry, they will be scared into joining, with mixed results. And if the first post is total spam about an urban legend and/or a wacky animal with a wacky caption, they will spam their entire email list with it.
