Food Blogger Code of Ethics

You may have already seen the other "Code of Ethics" for food bloggers written collaboratively by Brooke Burton and Leah Greenstein. Since they are trained journalists their thoughtful "Food Blog Code of Ethics" was very well written, but kind of long and wordy.

So, here is an alternative "Food Blogger Code of Ethics," which has been streamlined, and is unencumbered by things like details, explanations, or/and good grammar.


Food Blogger Code of Ethics:

1. Don't Be an Asshole

2. Don't Make Shit Up

3. Ask Before You Use Someone Else's Stuff

4. Dude, Karma



Unlike the "Food Blog Code of Ethics" this is not designed as a set of guidelines, but a punishable set of laws. Watch your back.
