Showing Original Post only (View all)Insufferable Food Babe Blogger Becomes Even More Insufferable (She's Pregnant)... [View all]
http://foodbabe.com/2016/07/18/secret/"...
When I looked at my husband and said I was ready, things happened quick. BOOM. I was pregnant. I honestly couldnt believe it I thought it would take a long time considering all the pregnancy stories and experiences I have heard about with loved ones and close friends, but I am incredibly grateful that it happened so easily for us. We are truly blessed I cant help but think the years of getting my health to its optimal state had to help practicing my healthy habits, regular acupuncture and staying away from processed food!
(That's right, an anecdote proves that her health being in an "optimal state" is why she got pregnant quickly. Not only that, but acupuncture must have a had something to do with it, plausibility be damned.)

Now that I am pregnant wow have my eating habits changed. First of all, not in a million years did I think I would ever crave Taco Bell again. But it happened. I was walking by one on the way to another restaurant and I could literally taste a chicken soft taco and bean burrito in my mouth. Of course I didnt get any But man! It was the weirdest sensation I have ever experienced, especially considering I havent eaten at Taco Bell since it was like 2am in the morning and I was in college.
And then Burger King happened. Yes. That nasty excuse for food. I was in Spain (of all places!) promoting the Spanish version of The Food Babe Way and was stuck in an airport terminal with the smell of charbroiled hamburgers radiating the whole waiting area. I thought I was going to DIE if I didnt have one. But thankfully my years of personal investigation and study of food toxins and industrial factory farming kept me FAR FAR away there was no way I was going to feed my growing baby that tainted meat on that processed to death sesame seed bun!
(Yup. The silly hyperbole will only get even more over the top now. Taco Bell and Burger King will kill your unborn child like that, don't you know! WOW!
...
I have heard most mamas stop enjoying green vegetables during this time thankfully that is not the case for me, I still LOVE kale and all things green (with a slice of hot cheese pizza please haha). Actually my Melt In Your Mouth Kale Salad has been on serious repeat lately and is the one dish that doesnt give me the pregnancy burbs! Ill be sharing some more of the comfort food recipes Ive been making soon.

You are not out of the loop. Some people on DU dislike people who recommend eating organically.

You seem to think that it's ok to promote a scam artist whose fictions are well known.

If she was promoting healthy lifestyle choices, you might have a point. She is not.
