Hey there, ladies. Food and health culture can be a sensitive topic; with ultra healthy diets being pushed in our faces all the time and modelesque girls on Instagram, there can be an enormous pressure to 'watch out weight.' Ultimately, health is never about the way someone's body is. It's not solely about fat content, contrary to popular belief. In our changing digital world, we're always a little farther from our humanity, and a little closer to AI behavior.
Not that men don't feel the pressure too, but it is and always will be worse for women. The details behind why are predicated on a long history of control and power, but we won't get into that now. The point is that no woman wants a man dictating, or shaming her for her dietary habits. Not to mention during pregnancy…the escalation of hormones must be stark and difficult to control. The last thing you need in this emotional, unstable period is your husband telling you can't eat McDonald's.
