I'm Just a Big Baby is one of the best diet books of all time - and I've read a few. The authors really lay it out in a way that can't be ignored - we're very adept at justifying way too much bad behavior.
It's interesting that we start out life with the best of care, most carefully calculated diet, most balanced nutrition - only to throw it all out the window and start eating random crap.
There are so many things for expecting mothers to avoid, substances that supposedly can't pass through the placenta but just-say-no just in case.
There are dozens of things you're not allowed to give a baby - everything from medications to gluten - and yet we funnel innumerable dangerous chemicals into our bodies every day - so what if such things are known to cause birth defects or interfere with fetal cell division. Hey, that doesn't apply to me, I'm an adult - ignoring the fact that millions of new cells are produced in our bodies every day.
This new book is great, and you should check it out!
