Share the Wealth

Tonight my roommate and I decide we would make a delicious, home cooked meal, so we popped on to a cooking website and found a recipe that appealed to us. We unfortunately, automatically assumed that if its on the internet, then its reliable. We didn't take into account that the site was a shareware website. Anyone, anywhere, with any idea for a dish, was able to post something. Now a days this is so common that many of us don't think twice about the creditability of the information we are looking at. To my generation, Wikipedia is a dependable source of truthful information, and Youtube is an educational device. We need to stop and think that people may not know what they are talking, just like our recipe. Needless to say we ended up eating salad.
