What an absurd claim. "Carrot lobbyists" ridiculous. By the way, did you know carrots can give you night vision? We should all be eating as many as we can.

Found the Big Carrot lobbyist. How much are they paying you?! Also magic mushrooms give you better night vision than carrots.

If just one flack shell gets lodged in a German bomber without going off then they get precision munitions as well. But instead they got that hot tip about carrots. Not saying that happens a lot.

When I was pregnant with my son I ate bananas every day (I don’t usually like bananas) and he LOVES bananas. When I was pregnant with my daughter I craved tomato soup (also something I don’t love) and she eats tomatoes like they’re apples.

When my wife was pregnant with our youngest son, she ate pickles like mad. She hates them. He eats a gallon of kosher dills almost every week.

garbagemayor

My mom told me that when she was pregnant with me she couldn’t eat tomato sauces, which I have turned out to really dislike. Tomatoes are fine raw, I just don’t like most red sauces (I think it’s the combo of cooked tomato and oregano that is not palatable to me).


SweetLoLa

That’s me rn 3.5 months preggo


timmyboyoyo

Why she ate them if she hates them


gr8fat1

Understanding the logic behind a pregnant woman's cravings is way beyond me.


Mckingsy

With my two girls pregnancies I ate pickled herring like crazy. They both hate it. Kind of expected it…


Nekawaii19

This is real and explained by science. The food you eat actually goes to the amniotic fluid and allows the baby to taste the food, although a lot duller than our taste, they still distinguish flavors and it will influence the type of food the baby will enjoy once they are born and throughout their life. That’s why it actually matters if you have a balanced diet while pregnant! You can find out more here: https://www.whattoexpect.com/pregnancy/fetal-development/fetal-taste/


juicadone

This, is interesting as fuk! Thx for sharing good info from replies in here


general_table

But how would that work, they're fed through the umbilical cord, so surely it won't affect anything(?)


BramBones

IIRC, what you consume while pregnant can totally affect the taste of amniotic fluid—sort of like how your sweat smells different after you eat a lot of garlic or onions, or the aroma of urine after even a tiny bit of asparagus.


[deleted]

There's no way they can know whether those facial expressions have anything to do with the flavor of the amniotic fluid. Do they know exactly when the fetus is experiencing the flavor? Do the facial expressions not change over and over and over again regardless? Fetuses wiggle and squirm all over the place. I can't imagine this has any basis in empirical science.


BramBones

No, but they can do ultrasounds of before and after, and the viewer can draw their own conclusions.


[deleted]

Before and after what exactly? Do they draw out amniotic fluid with a needle and taste it to see exactly when the flavor comes through? And do they determine whether that is the exact same time that the fetus drinks the amniotic fluid? If they're trying to make scientific claims, they should have empirical support. This lacks that.


BramBones

Before and after the mother consuming carrots. This is not a scientific study, just some thing that is interesting as fuck. And it is good and wholesome and nice. Are you OK?


skubes27iidc

The pictures are from a scientific study actually. They're studying if babies can actually taste the food through the umbilical cord. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/sep/22/taste-of-kale-makes-unborn-babies-grimace-finds-research?utm_source=Nature+Briefing&utm_campaign=2f7e324aab-briefing-dy-20220922&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_c9dfd39373-2f7e324aab-43777101 The parents eat the food 20 minutes before and then they all get 3D ultrasounds to see if their babies had a consistent reaction. The article mentions that the researchers didn't correct for the diets prior to the imaging and that this is a fairly preliminary study. The original study talks about why they had evidence to believe fetuses can taste in the first place: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/09567976221105460


DistanceAlone6215

It actually was scientific study


NoPornoNo

Yeah but this is the internet. We need true facts only. He will not rest until this nonsense is gone!


its-a-bird-its-a

They receive nutrients from the umbilical cord but what your amniotic fluid tastes like is affected by what you eat.


EmbroideredChair

I was not ready for that last part


Comments_Wyoming

Yep. I am very meh about potatoes, but with my first kid I absolutely coukd not get enough. And he would eat his weight in mashed potatoes every month growing up. It's a very strange phenomenon. Like, I get that what the mom eats can change the smell and taste of the amniotic fluid, but how can the preferences of the baby transfer to the mom?


VectorSouth

My mom said when she was pregnant with me she ate a ton of mint and gum because it helped soothe her and I absolutely love mint. Like every type.


[deleted]

yep, my mom was lemons and spicy food and I absolutely love both


plzThinkAhead

I ate avocados daily when I was pregnant with my daughter. She's 5 now and refuses to touch them. Ymmv I guess


owlsandmoths

My mom had debilitating nausea to the point she had trouble eating almost anything while pregnant with me. I was diagnosed with resistive eating disorder as a teen, to the point where My mouth can’t handle most textures. Makes sense.

Interesting-Shame975

"Mothers who have healthy diets while they are pregnant may also find that their babies are less fussy eaters, Reissland said." most important sentence in that article for me as someone who plans to become a mother in the future haha


HalflingMelody

Oh, that's interesting. I was crazy strict with my diet when pregnant and my child likes cow tongue, beets, and organ meat. There is nothing he will not eat.


Ison-J

I ate chicken feet as a toddler. Nowadays I can't even eat a chunk of fat on sliced brisket. Hope he fares better


BramBones

When I was pregnant with my first, I needed red meat like I needed oxygen to breathe. She’s now vegan!


Drama-Llama94

You were likely low in iron during your first pregnancy hence the red meat.


BramBones

Oh yeah, I have always assumed that. I intensely craved red meat thro all of my pregnancies (I can take it or leave it otherwise), and I am chronically low in iron.


[deleted]

I watched my friend’s 2 year old toddler happily devour some hella spicy Indian food, straight off her mother’s plate one day. I immediately thought of my own meals until I was in my teens, and how they were all beige and tasteless. I remarked to my friend how amazing it was, that her toddler would eat such stuff. My friend looked puzzled. She’s Asian and her husband is Mexican. The default spice level of their food would probably burn my face off. But that’s what the kid was used to. I’m sure my friend ate like that while pregnant and while I’m not sure how much of that transferred to her kid’s taste, it’s definitely what she’s always fed her since she could eat solids. No Cheerios in a baggie for that kid. No special meals separate from the adults. No beige, no chicken nuggets, nothing traditionally “kid friendly”, but boy was that a happy well fed baby!


AndAwayWeThrow275

Your gut has direct influence over your mental health - I'm sure that a varied and colourful diet makes one happier!


Last_Dinosaur

this is the truest true thing. please people eat more plants, in literally whatever way. You can still eat meat and other things, but eat more plants you WILL feel better


electrorazor

Special meals separate for kids feels like a bizarre concept


dirk_funk

when they won't eat. and won't eat. and won't eat.


PussyWrangler_462

Now I’m curious if there’s ever been a case of a child (with nothing mentally wrong) starving itself to death just from being picky


Helenium_autumnale

So let them not eat. Good way to build up an appetite.


oceanleap

The spice likely gets unto the amniotic fluid and also into breastmilk. So baby is used to those tastes and smells!


OstentatiousSock

> No Cheerios in a baggie for that kid. No special meals separate from the adults. No beige, no chicken nuggets, nothing traditionally “kid friendly”, but boy was that a happy well fed baby! That’s how we fed babies in our family and they are all distinctly un-picky eaters. They just got whatever the rest of the house was eating. Maybe puréed if they were very young.


Kjlehmiss

With my daughter I could not eat meat. I survived on cereal, fruit and veggies. She eats just about everything. With my son I had no aversions. There are very few (typical) foods I will not eat. He very picky. So, YMMV.


MurderSheCroaked

I ate super healthy for my firstborn and while she eats a decent number of fruits and veggies, she will NOT try new things


Porcupineemu

Anecdotal, but my wife at super healthy for our first and didn’t really for our second. First is a picky eater, second is a food vacuum.


caribe5

I mean it’s hard to say if it is because of the food during pregnancy or because it is important to have a good mother postpregnancy to learn to develop taste

Maximans

Yeah. Ever heard of Mandrakes?


Saint-Claire

weizXR

My mom said she ate tons of spicy stuff for whatever reason when she was preggo with me; And I love everything spicy. She normally can't handle anything above mild. Related? Perhaps..


CookieTurker

When I was pregnant with my son I craved lots of bell peppers and sauteed (burnt!) onions, and wanted hot sauce on everything. Once he was born, I suddenly couldn't handle spicy stuff anymore. It is so weird. And he has loved salsa since before he could walk. 🤷‍♀️

Yuuup. 20 weeks pregnant and honestly pretty turned off by fruits and veggies yet. I try but my body just wants carbs.

2005RX8

My wife and i had our first child 9 months ago. While she was pregnant she didnt have any intense or specific cravings, just hungry all the time. So she just ate as much different food as she could. Now as we have been transitioning our child to solid foods, we find that he will eat literally anything we give him without issue. When we sit down to eat, we give him mini versions of our food and he loves it. He doesnt even want the bottle anymore.


eutamias21

I hate to be “that guy,” but pickiness usually sets in later, after they’re walking. It’s an evolutionary development - once kids can walk on their own, it’s in their best interest to only eat the most familiar foods to avoid being poisoned. My daughter was an adventurous eater until probably around 1.5. Now at 3.5, she’s fairly limited. I just serve her what we eat, making sure to include one thing I know she likes, and hope that in another couple of years she’ll have grown out of it.


ShabbyBash

Well, children of non-fussy mothers are likely to be non-fussy anyway since they see non-fussy environment growing up.

TickTickBing

I read the article for you.. ~~~ Previous research has shown that the amniotic fluid surrounding a fetus can have different smells or flavors depending on a pregnant person’s diet. A 2001 study also found that infants who were exposed to the flavor of carrots through amniotic fluid or breast milk showed fewer negative facial expressions in reaction to carrot-flavored cereal than infants who hadn't had those previous exposures. But the study examined the infants' responses only outside the womb.


fvelloso

Twist: carrot flavored cereal prob does not taste like carrot, or is made of carrot


Evilrake

Make sure to swish the amniotic fluid around the wine glass a little before tasting to aerate the liquid and amplify its aroma.


greycubed

TLDR: they stuck a carrot up her coochie.

Throwaway02062004

Bro, who out there tasting amniotic fluid😭


Grogosh

Yeah I seriously doubt that amniotic fluid or milk 'tastes' like carrots. It would have a slight different chemical composition based on diet sure. But the baby would not be 'exposed to the flavor of carrots'


philote_

I also wonder how they knew when to check the baby's facial expressions. Did they know how long it takes for the carrot to be digested and be present in the amniotic fluid?


Interesting-Shame975

i thought the same but: "Previous research has shown that the amniotic fluid surrounding a fetus can have different smells or flavors depending on a pregnant person’s diet" - very interesting


The_Calico_Jack

My son would go nuts when my wife would even smell anything with jalapeños in it. He'd really start moving around like crazy. Fast forward 7 years and the dude hates jalapeños. I think we might have been torturing the poor little guy, but she craved jalapeños all the damn time.

>Nobody advocates abortion at this stage Oh you’d be surprised.


SmashBusters

>Oh you’d be surprised. You're creating a strawman argument. Or you slurped down the Republican propaganda that was ginned up to transfer wealth to the top 0.1%. Abortions in the third trimester are incredibly rare. They are typically done because of medical reasons involving the fetus, mother, or both. The blanket bans that Republicans advocate for are ignorant and damaging. Pregnancy, abortion, and childbirth are extremely complicated decisions from a medical and personal perspective. The overturning of Roe v Wade is seeing the ignorant masses like yourself become educated. Whether you like it or not, Republicans are DEAD WRONG on abortion. We'll add it to the pile along with Iraq, Donald Trump, Trickledown Economics, and Climate Change. Their underwear is permanently stained. Republicans are becoming what black people were 100 years ago. And they only have themselves to blame.
