It's a mailing list, not a unix app. I'm not going to be piping the output from this into something else. To me the core "value prop" of this is "inspiration" for things to make. Adding specifics to that seems like a natural extension.

You need inspiration to cook a vegetable?

Not everyone is aware of what's on season or how easy those things are to prepare in a way that would satisfy picky Americans.

So yes, every bit helps.

We wouldn't be having a obesity epidemic if that wasn't the case.

I wouldn't say it's inspiration that's lacking. It has more to do with the fact that vegetables are more expensive and harder to get than junk food, and the contents of said junk food, combined with factors like time and cultural trends, and of course education.
