I’ve turned into the Food Nazi (a la Seinfeld). After reading a slew of manuals (both in paperback and online), I can’t believe all the things that could negatively impact our child’s development. It’s frightening. Stephanie can no longer have caffeine — she’s prone to drink about 4 diet cokes per day and that’s probably not good.

She also is not allowed deli meats, hot dogs, bacon, or sausage — the concern is that she could contract listerios which can result in “premature delivery, stillbirth or infection in the newborn.”

What can she eat? In general terms, I’d like her to more closely adhere to the foods commonly recommended with the Food Pyramid. I’ll let her tell you what she’s been eating….
