This is just a quick notice regarding the “Likes” button at the end of Weight Maven posts. It wasn’t widely used by folks (compared to the share buttons or comment field), but I’ve recently noticed that it’s being more and more being used in a “spammy” fashion just for link traffic to questionable content.
Unfortunately, my platform (WordPress.com) doesn’t allow me to block these, so for now, I’m just turning it off. Hope that doesn’t trouble anyone too much!
Weight Maven is written by Beth Mazur. Beth believes that obesity is more symptom than cause and that the real problem is our Western diet -- especially sugar, refined grains, and industrial oils. Beth writes about nutrition, ancestral health, & food policy. And cats!
