Mythbuster #1: You don’t have to eat real meat during pregnancy if you get weird cravings.
Kari Byron, co-host of the Discovery Channel’s Mythbusters, uncovers the truth about urban legends and news stories in pop culture.
So we’re wondering why she didn’t test out the myth that otherwise vegetarian women who get meaty cravings during pregnancy can’t get their needs fulfilled through imitation meats.
Byron gave into some mean cravings for beef stew while pregnant even though she was a strict vegetarian before.
“My husband had to cut the meat up — that part was too gross for me! — and he prepared it,” she said.
Byron thinks her baby wanted the full experience of hardcore, hormone pumped beef versus wimpy, recreational drug meat like chicken.
“I guess the little baby wanted to taste beef! Not even a gateway meat like chicken!”
Maybe next time Byron will investigate this urban legend and see if imitation beef does the trick.
