@food-smg is part of the SMGroups project from @smartmediagroup to help better organize content in their categories and build communities around it. This blog will curate and feature posts from Steemians that are relating to food. *Today's Curated Food Posts* === *Benefits of a High Fiber Diet by @rushmichaels* *** https://steemit.com/recipe/@rushmichaels/the-benefits-of-a-high-fiber-diet-and-great-recipes https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNmhN64DU6WkdRpG4W7YyoEiuHW8Px6jRK66ZvX2aN9KR/1.jpg *** *** *Soba With Toasted Sesame Seed Sauce by @passable* *** https://steemit.com/dlike/@passable/soba-with-toasted-sesame-seed-sauce-recipe https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://dlike.io/upload/1167296606625a41c9525a85c2ed1a59fa0550b.jpg *** *** *Beverages With The Same Number of Calories as Soda by @mortongregoryss* *** https://steemit.com/health/@mortongregoryss/beverages-with-the-same-number-of-calories-as-soda https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRZThUngGmYScR5sDfpUPEKUVibVgVG4kC4YhBZEma82C/1.jpg *** *** *Brownies Tower by @rerycore* *** https://steemit.com/food/@rerycore/brownies-tower-e40f04967766a https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://img.esteem.ws/usavz08pev.jpg *** *** *Egg & Tomatos Baps by @brikc* *** https://steemit.com/food/@brikc/egg-and-tomato-baps-or-or-recipe https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQts4QJv1S7BmAgriELpammbMHjrdqeXfCWhv2813woaZ/IMG_20180913_113203_780.jpg *** *** *** When curating, there are a few guidelines @food-smg follows. Curation Guidelines === * Content - To add better value to the platform and this project, we encourage originality in content.

The abuse of improper tags could result in flags. --- --- # New Project @food-smg is now beta testing a new project within its curation project. With the implementation of @yabapmatt's [Community Bot](https://github.com/MattyIce/communitybot), we invite the food community to try out a new initiative to help with distribution of rewards on the Steem platform, as well as supporting everything food!!! Not everyone blogs about food, but almost everyone loves food, who doesn't right? Since you may not blog about food, you might want to support different food content but find it difficult because you are trying to maintain your *Vote Power*. Here is a way to help manage your VP and work together with the food community and curators that seek out food content on the platform and showing support. Also, receive a daily upvote from @food-smg for your contributions. # How it Works > The bot has a list of members who either delegate a certain amount of Steem Power or pay a certain amount of liquid STEEM monthly (depending on the settings), and it simply goes through the list of members and upvotes their last post. This way members of a community can all chip in a little bit to build up a nice upvote every so often for their posts. # How to Delegate If you are not familiar with the Delegation feature on the Steem blockchain, it is a way to essentially "loan" out your Steem Power. You can delegate directly using whichever method you use or through SteemConnect below.(***Note:*** The exact SP amount from the links below may vary due to fluctuations with MVests calculations on the network. e.g. 5 SP link might show delegation amount for 5.001 SP) You can use http://www.steemdollar.com/vests.php to properly calcualte the exact amount of delegation. You will need to edit the URL link. You can follow the guide here: https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@steemitph/tutorial-using-steemconnect-for-delegation-updating-delegation-and-undelegation ### Membership Cost of 30 day membership | Delegation amount | --- | --- | 2 STEEM | No Delegation | 1 STEEM and | [5 SP](https://v2.steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegatee=food-smg&vesting_shares=10146.5146%20VESTS), [10 SP](https://v2.steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegatee=food-smg&vesting_shares=20291.4449%20VESTS), [20 SP](https://v2.steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegatee=food-smg&vesting_shares=40582.8899%20VESTS), [30 SP](https://v2.steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegatee=food-smg&vesting_shares=60874.3348%20VESTS), [40 SP](https://v2.steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegatee=food-smg&vesting_shares=81165.7798%20VESTS), [50 SP](https://v2.steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegatee=food-smg&vesting_shares=101457.2247%20VESTS), [60 SP](https://v2.steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegatee=food-smg&vesting_shares=121748.6697%20VESTS), [70 SP](https://v2.steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegatee=food-smg&vesting_shares=142040.1146%20VESTS), [80 SP](https://v2.steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegatee=food-smg&vesting_shares=162331.5596%20VESTS), [90 SP](https://v2.steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegatee=food-smg&vesting_shares=182623.0045%20VESTS) | Cost of Full-membership | Delegation amount | --- | --- | 0 STEEM | [100 SP](https://v2.steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegatee=food-smg&vesting_shares=202930.2918%20VESTS), [200 SP](https://v2.steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegatee=food-smg&vesting_shares=405828.8989%20VESTS), [300 SP](https://v2.steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegatee=food-smg&vesting_shares=608743.3483%20VESTS), [400 SP](https://v2.steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegatee=food-smg&vesting_shares=811657.7978%20VESTS), [500 SP](https://v2.steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegatee=food-smg&vesting_shares=1014572.2472%20VESTS), [600 SP](https://v2.steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegatee=food-smg&vesting_shares=1217486.6967%20VESTS), [700 SP](https://v2.steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegatee=food-smg&vesting_shares=1420401.1461%20VESTS), [800 SP](https://v2.steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegatee=food-smg&vesting_shares=1623315.5956%20VESTS), [900 SP](https://v2.steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegatee=food-smg&vesting_shares=1826230.0450%20VESTS), [1000 SP](https://v2.steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegatee=food-smg&vesting_shares=2029144.4945%20VESTS), [5000 SP](https://v2.steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegatee=food-smg&vesting_shares=10145722.4723%20VESTS), [10000 SP](https://v2.steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegatee=food-smg&vesting_shares=20291444.9447%20VESTS) Still finding it difficult to delegate?
