Overall scoring

	top banana! a site well worth visiting, either because it does many things usefully, or one or two specific things very well and has a range of applications to food education
	some useful features and a good source of information for supporting food education, would sustain regular visits
	has something to recommend it and material that would be useful, even if only for occasional visits
	just about worth a visit, but unlikely to yield much of use or value
	insufficient benefit, doesn’t really warrant a visit - either poor quality content or just too little that is relevant
