Okay this entire section about what to eat is veering troubling close to Disordered Eating Territory

Also what if "eat this alternative to "unhealthy" food" charts didn't give you the dumbest least analogous alternatives possible

If someone gave me frozen grapes when I wanted skittles I'd commit homicide for real

Also I don't think I've mentioned it but the language used in this book is wildly infantilizing

FED is best.

Every time this lady talks about breast feeding it comes across as so shaming towards people who formula feed (for whatever reason) it's genuinely really gross

This whole section claims to be saying that what's best for the pregnant person is important but it still manages to come off as extremely shaming of elective c-sections so that's not great

Also really hate how the author talks about fat people (also just say fat you should not be using the term obese it is not used as anything but a slur and it tells you extremely little medically)
