Food Bloggers - Do You Optimize Your Images?

I very seldom see issues with food bloggers not fully passing core web vitals as long as they're using a quality theme. We usually try to have the bloggers size other images of 1200 pixels wide. I remember speaking at one of my first conferences and saying, by the way, stop stuffing your alt text with keyword phrases. That's not what these images are for. It's still something we struggle with on a daily basis.
