As someone who has a 22+ year “career” as a blogger based solely on my ability to deliver non-nutritive content (or, to be more accurate, my inability to provide nutritive content), I cannot let these base accusations go unchallenged and therefore I must needs be respond in the most, uh…well…I forget where I was going with this. Please pass the Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds and a Walt Kelly cartoon book.

Oh my gosh, most of my writing is non-nutritive, ha ha.

It's really a fun word to say, nutritive.

All of this makes me wonder whether "nutritive" and "nutritious" (which, by the way, takes me two tries EVERY TIME I try to spell it because I try to put a "c" in there somewhere) are interchangeable, except that nutritive is more fun to say (not to mention easier for some of us to spell).
