I am talking about having a salad for lunch, ever heard of it? We are all working women and men, and don't have our lunches always prepared to take to the office. We still work when we are pregnant, so when we are not in the mood to make our lunch, we eat outside, however we can have salads, soups, sandwiches, etc. I have a feeling you think I am talking about fast food, yes fast food is not the healthiest however that is not what I am talking about. You go to a good restaurant, you can get good quality healthy food. Also, we have organic, and most pregnant women are told to eat organic food, which do not have the preservative chemicals that you are pointing out. And as for pasta, pizza etc, it is not bad if you eat in moderation. If you have an entire pizza pie by yourself then of course it is not good, but if you eat 2 slices, nothing will happen to the mother or the baby.

I will not be offended by your statement, but your comment above was "You can eat wherever in the states and still have a healthy meal." unquote. You were not specifying anything there. Any food outside Hetal was forbidden to eat, is obviously considered to be unhealthy, or they would not have mentioned it in the show, that is what I was responding to. Otherwise, what you perceive to be healthy in the USA is questionable. If you knew some of the conditions under which salads were prepared in the USA or anywhere in the world outside someone's home for that matter, you would rethink being so sarcastic. However, I won't prolong the discussion, it will be too long. And yes I have heard of salads.

FYI, I am Vegetarian, and I have been visiting the USA most of my life, I even lived there at some point.

New Robot Will Test the 80,000 Chemicals in American Food for Toxicity

The biggest, most profitable food companies in the nation are always seeking new ways to increase food production, preserve that food longer, enhance its taste, and pretty up its appearance. And they do so with the help of a wide variety of chemicals ' 80,000 or so of them, to be exact. That's how many chemicals the EPA and FDA estimate are in the food that Americans eat every day ' and that we know very little about. It's quite hard, it turns out, to keep up with the engine of industrial food production

Big Food has brought us further away from natural, healthy, and safe foods than ever before. We're eating truckloads of stuff that food-eating humans wouldn't recognize 50 years ago. It's stuffed full of coloring, preservatives, flavor-enhancers, and chemicals that we still don't entirely understand. But given that it's conventional wisdom that this scale of food production will be

i just had a laugh after seeing your post.😆 ..
dont think that i am bashing you ... thr is nothing against u ..
I agree home made food is always better .. but the above article which u mentioned makes me laugh ..i am living in US ... ppl here eat preserved food most of the time ...they may use chemicals for that.
But one thing which is imp here ..they always mention the ingredients wat they use ..if it harmful to ppl they vl sued ...they just can't cheat the ppl by not mentioning any other ingredients ...😊 ..
whenever i buy something i always look for the calories vitamins ...everything ..i always feel that food in US vl show the perfect figures of calories n vitamins whr as in india i never buy anything like that .. again i am not against to indian food here .. all I am saying is ppl follow some strict rules here 😊

All you said above would be justified if Hetal was a sensible, caring and a good constitious person. On the contrary, she can blame her in laws or even create situations to blame them. If God forbid anything happens to the baby, the whole Gandhi family including a couple of Bedi's are going to point finger at Vimmi. To me Vimmi is doing her best under the circumstances. Imagine what Hetal's mom would have done if she had seen Mona watching the action movies. snatching of the remote was probably the gentlest action in comparison to Gandhi's terror. BTW, eating wrong foods especially during the first preganncy can lead to pre-enclampsia- high blood pressure ( the rate is 1 in 100 first pregnancies ) that can lead to premature birth of the baby and even worse. The premature babies could have breathing and eating problems, blinded or sight problems, hernias and speech problems. So, in my opinion, I would not want my in laws to exert control or be overprotective but also would not disregard thier advice with disrespect.



if hetal is not sensible doesn't mean that in every aspect we should blame her bash her ..thats wrong ..if gandhi's did this to mona and prevent her doing it ..i vl say the same 'Gandhi's need to grow up' .. as u said it might be dangerous as its a first pregnancy ..common ...cant hetal know is it a first baby ? is any mother on the earth wants her baby to die before born ?..no ..not even an evil mother .. then how can hetal do that ... hetal is not 16 or 17 yrs old who dont know abt wat to eat or wat not to eat when she is pregnant .. days are changed ..now younger generation are telling what is good for baby what is not to their parents ..its all about awareness ..
ppl always take elders advice when pregnant yet they know and they can decide which is harm for the baby or not

Really don't care if you laugh or not, I thought my post was directed at Suhasinni. but it is fine that you responded, the more the merrier.

Firstly, we were talking about cooked outside food, not food with labels. My post was about chemicals being tested is in Cooked food, not food with labels.
Unhealthy food does not mean fast food only. It can be food prepared under unfavourable conditions, such as unclean kitchen etc. or pest infected kitchen area, or with chemicals unknown to the average man. Restaurants anywhere don't always keep the place clean and up to standards, but they quickly do what they have to do, when it is time for the health inspectors to come around. Did you know sometimes the lettuce that you are eating in a nice fancy restaurant can be taken from the garbage bin? FYI those are not Rumors.

Secondly, if placing on the packages or saying what ingredients the foods are made up of, was enough, they would not need to TEST anything as in my first post directed to the other person stated. Reading the calories etc. is not enough. There are things like gluten, which is not good for you. Seriously, does anyone know half the things listed in the ingredients part of a package? Calorie content, Protein, Sugar etc. content, is different in a lot of ways, from what you are seeing in the Ingredients part. Where they are some scientific names, do you know what they mean? Do you know what harm these chemicals can cause? Everyday FDA work tirelessly to find out what is in the different foods that manufacturers are producing, no one can keep up with their new inventions everyday.

I did not feel like just running my mouth without knowledge. I have worked in the food industry before and I have many friends who do in the USA, you would hesitate to eat outside, if I was to share my knowledge.

Anyways, I am seeing that you are not getting it. Because Vimmy was not talking about just fast food, she was talking about the risk of eating food prepared under the situations I just mentioned.

BTW I am not from India. So, there is no need for me to take anything personal. I was trying to educate the person I had directed the post to on the seriousness of eating outside your home. because of this statement made by her "You can eat wherever in the states and still have a healthy meal." unquote.

Sorry came into this topic late...but in my humble opinion what is the big deal with outside food?

If you tell a doc/dietician in the West that your primary diet consist of Rice and wheat and Parantha with Ghee...they will do triple jump...they will tell you at once way too much carb and fatty food...cut it down asap...Tell a in the West Pizza is unhealthy...ppl will tell you it is actually balance covering all main food group and provides adeguate nourish and calories,,,infact ppl live on Pizza...of course nothing tooo much is healthy...too much Rich /wheat will caurse diabetics...

As long as preggoi lady getting the required nourishment and the foetus is growing at normal rate, everything is fine...as I say I only talk from my own personal experience...when I got preggo with my second chiold, I was in a full time demanding job, going to part time school and with a older son and hubby to take care of.. everyday I ate 2 out of 4 meals outside...My child was as healthy as a friends..who got preggo at the same time stayed at home ate so much food that both mon and child was overweight (yes, after a point studies show that too much pound on foetus hamper normal development...development isn't just how fat a baby is...that concept is fast changing...even food like ice-creams eatten in moderation is ok..and has mild proteins...I know again of a true story...a diet consious mom only gave healthy food to her toddler (vegs, friuts etc.) no ice creams and cake...she complains to her doc that hers on always cries for cakes aice cream when they go grocery shopping.../you know what the doc said (i am nt making it up)...becaose his body needs and deamand that...the truth is everything in moderation is healthy...I don't think it is right for ppl to give a 'take it or leaveit kind' of judgement on website...it is so unhealthy and ill-adviced...what qualification do they have passing such absolute judgement where so many ppl coming from different backgrounds are affected...how much can they back up their claim with actual proof...to date I haven't seen any data that shows any kind of food is absolutely bad...bad in mostly in context to something...What could working mom do if they can't make that food at home, coming from stay at home mom's...she will just die to guilt...really is this justified?

An really,, Pizza, ice cream dry food what is unhealthy about it...if u want to more search, look up Gillian Mc Keith and Nigellea Lawson and see what you come back with also..look up their pics,...it can be eye opening...

Please read all posts carefully, before assuming what is being said. I clearly was answering on a post because of what one person said. This is obviously getting out of hand. Stating whether or not I am qualified to post comments is very unnecessary, because it is my comments and if you want others to respect your opinions it would be gracious to return the favour.

In all the forums, I have been making comments in my own humorous way, so I have not intention to get into what is starting, on just a show.
I graciously bow out of this section.

Hillydee Hi, first of all if your response is to my post, rest assured I am not posting anything against you or anyone in particular...so please relax...my post is a general post because this topic has come up so many times before and continues to do so that I so kinda of force to comment...if you looked at the other post this is the first in this comment thread (I wanted to avoid it as I knew it gets out of hand)...and particular I said it because I disagree putting such absolute term/opinion on public forum as ppl tend to take away bits and pieces and can start applying to life...I am afraid of that...imagine reading 1 of this post and start applying it real life...
If it isn't against my post, please ignore this..relax enjoy...I like reading urs and others opinion here...its a healthy auguement that I appreciate a lot...so please relax😃 .

Believe me I am relax, but I was leaving because I realise some people get emotional when you state certain things. I was only responding to a comment someone made about being able to eat "wherever" in the states and get healthy food, (look back and see why I would make that post after)and that can't be true in any Country for that matter. So, all I did was post some information about chemicals being in so many foods that can kill you in the states. However, it was taken the wrong way, and the person became sarcastic, implying I never heard of a salad. So, I was only trying to make the person understand what I was saying, and that salads, don't mean healthy outside the home either. but I realise it was futile, and someone else answered with their own opinion nothing to do with my point, then your comment sort of came across as once again misunderstanding me like the others. So, that is why I said I was bowing out graciously, because I wanted for us to agree to disagree, and not put myself in any situation that I don't find enjoyable, because that is the only reason I am here.
There is no way I can say you can't eat ice cream or pizza. I am partial vegetarian and I eat that in some form. I was only responding to the ONE comment that person made. Then due to the other responses, I tried to explain the point I was getting across, But I realise some people don't really take the time to analyze things before they comment, because they have only "One." thought and it is that you are against them, when you oppose their opinion. They don't feel you mean well, which is why I posted the facts which I researched in the first place. Sometimes these forums get out of hand, and I did not want to be a part of it. I have had to recently just like your last post to me now , explain to members to not take comments too seriously, so I would not ignore my own Preaching.
I am just not good at the long drawn out, people misinterpreting my comments, not getting anywhere posts, so I am not upset, just can't be bothered. 😆
