 As a woman who was pregnant, in my early pregnancy the smell and sight of meat along with other foods I ate before pregnancy made me throw up. I threw up because people were talking about eating pizza... I wasn't brainwashed by social media because I wasn't on it or watching the news. When I was almost to my due date, I craved rare steak and ate meat just fine. Pregnancy hormones do strange things to women's bodies and everybody is different. I'm not advocating eating vegan, I eat plenty of meat, but I am saying that pregnant women are strange creatures and should eat whatever food will stay in their body to grow a baby and mind over matter doesn't work in that situation.
