Editorial Policy
Purpose of this page
This policy explains how we create and maintain trustworthy content for readers and predictable,
brand-safe context for advertisers. It applies to everything we publish under the Hurry The Food Up
name, including the website, the YouTube channel, and our newsletters.
1. Principles
- People first. Practical, useful content that respects the reader.
- Accuracy. Claims must be supportable. We prefer primary sources.
- Clarity. Headlines invite curiosity without exaggeration.
- Independence. Editorial decisions are separate from advertising.
- Easy, healthy vegetarian eating as our editorial frame. Every piece we publish is written
through a single lens: does this help a reader cook and eat well, with less meat, in less time?
Pieces that cannot answer that question do not fit Hurry The Food Up and we do not publish them.
2. What we cover
Hurry The Food Up publishes practical vegetarian food content, united by our mission to make it
easy for everyone to eat less meat:
- Quick vegetarian & high-protein recipes — fast, tested recipes, breakfast and oats first.
- Meal plans & shopping lists — done-for-you weekly plans for everyday eating.
- Practical nutrition & weight-loss-through-food — evidence-based guidance that resolves into
real meals, not abstract dieting.
- Vegetarian cooking guides — techniques, ingredients, and how-tos for cooking with less meat.
We do not publish content that is hateful, harassing, or discriminatory, or that sits outside this
remit.
3. Editorial process
Recipes and articles are assigned and edited by our editorial team. Every piece is read by an
editor before publication, regardless of byline. Recipes are kitchen-tested. Sensitive topics —
nutrition claims and weight-loss guidance — receive an additional review.
4. Sourcing and fact-checking
We prefer primary research, government data, peer-reviewed studies, and reputable organizations.
Nutrition and weight-loss pieces are written or reviewed by writers trained to interpret research.
We avoid medical claims and include appropriate disclaimers. We link to sources and name experts
where relevant.
5. Corrections and updates
Corrections are dated and noted on the page. We update or review content regularly. Pages display
either the update date or a note that the content has been reviewed and remains current.
6. Reviews and recommendations
Reviews reflect honest opinions based on real use or thorough evaluation. If we receive a product
sample, we disclose it. Affiliate links may appear; we disclose that Hurry The Food Up may earn a
commission at no cost to readers. Affiliate relationships do not influence verdicts.
7. Sponsored content
Sponsored posts are labeled clearly at the top and within the body. Sponsors do not approve or edit
our independent editorial content.
8. AI use
We use AI tools as part of our publishing workflow. AI assists with research, source discovery,
drafting, fact-checking support, and post-publication quality audits including broken-link scans
and source verification.
Human editors review, fact-check, and approve all content prior to publication. AI does not make
editorial decisions — it does not choose what we cover, what angle a piece takes, or what gets
published. Those decisions are made by our editors, and editorial responsibility for accuracy rests
with Hurry The Food Up.
We do not use AI to fabricate quotes, invent sources, or present AI-generated content as first-hand
experience from real individuals.
9. Bylines and the editorial team
We publish under the Hurry The Food Up Editorial Team byline. Our recipes and articles are
produced and reviewed collectively by the editorial team, and editorial responsibility for them
rests with Hurry The Food Up.
We do not publish pieces under invented personal names presented as real individuals.
10. Images and rights
We use original, licensed, or press-approved images. We credit creators when required. Contact us
if you believe an image is used in error.
11. Privacy, accessibility, conflicts of interest
We respect reader privacy and comply with applicable laws (see our Privacy Policy). We aim for clear
language, readable type, and descriptive alt text. Writers and editors avoid assignments where
personal or financial interests could influence coverage; necessary disclosures are made on the page.
