Respect to OP for creating his own successful business - You're selling candy and blogging about it, I don't think it's even possible to steal your idea. Not to downplay the achievement either - as it's a great thing. I would call your site innovative but not an innovation, a 'business idea' rather than an idea for some sort of new technology that nobody has ever seen before and therefore might be inclined to rip it off.
There are people doing small time, applied research in cutting edge areas. These types of innovations can and do get ripped if they are good enough.
If you look at the history of science, there have been a ton of sharks.
TL;DR - just because nobody is going to steal your business idea doesn't mean a truly original innovation won't get ripped off if someone sees it.
