Talking point

If you followed along with Richard and Melissa’s demonstration, within the Comments, consider sharing with other learners your experience of mindfully eating the food you chose and the things you noticed from eating this way.

If you didn’t take part in the exercise, how did the demonstration impact the way you now think about eating your food?

Filtering comments

Comments on a step can be ‘filtered’ which helps you access them in a way that’s best for you. You can do this by selecting comments by All comments, Bookmarked, Your comments or Following from the drop-down menu in the comments section of the step. You can can also sort by Newest, Oldest or Most liked.

Mentioning other learners in your comments

When replying to a comment, you can also mention other learners that are taking part in the comment thread. You can do this by entering the learner’s profile name as part of your reply. For example, @User3320607 That’s an excellent example. @User4499578 What do you think?

Please note, you can mention more than one other learner in a single comment box. Also, you can only mention others who are in the thread and cannot use the mention functionality in stand-alone comments.
