Sneakey foods

I find it interesting that most of the food we aren’t supposed to eat when we are pregnant we probably shouldn’t eat even when we aren’t pregnant. The reasons they give effect us all, pregnant or not. Like how hot dogs have bad preservatives in them and can give you botulism… then why would I want to eat them at all? And how sushi can have parasites… then why would I eat it when I’m not pregnant?

I love my hot dogs and sushi, don’t get me wrong. But if it’s bad for you when you are pregnant it’s probably bad for you when you’re not (for most things). Like caffeine and artificial sweeteners. I don’t know. I doubt it will make me not eat them after I have the baby but its just a thought…

Maybe everyone should read books on what not to eat when you’re pregnant. You learn a lot about food that is bad for you that you thought was good. Most of it stems from genetic engineering, chemical preservatives, and artificial things like sweeteners and flavors. Really, If you stick to organic produce and don’t touch anything processed like canned veggies (which have aluminum and tons of salt) or ‘quick meals’ like hamburger helper (What kind of sauce is made from powder?) then you might be ok.

Did you know they put sugar in your salt? That’s what makes it look white. Try using sea salt instead. It has made me a paranoid shopper. Seriously. I want to know what I’m eating. They’re so sneaky with our foods.
