Hi,
They have a lot of similar foods to we do. They would probably eat vegetables, rice, potatoes and more foods. They would avoid sushi without raw fish, but aside from that just pretty much everything we do!
Good luck,
Hope this has helped.

Sushi During Pregnancy?

Betta Love

I know that your not supposed to consume sushi during pregnancy due to the risk of contamination. However, I had been eating sushi without knowing I was pregnant (about once weekly). Plus, we've ate at the same Sushi place for years and never once have we gotten sick.

Would it be safe for me to continue eating sushi? I'm just over 6 weeks pregnant.
Are there any other reasons I shouldn't be eating it?
For those of you who are writing that it's raw fish, and I could always get sick. In asian cultures they eat sushi during pregnancy just fine... I just want to know if there's anything else that fish can do without being contaminated.

Answer
I'm four months pregnant; sushi has always been one of my favorite dishes. You should avoid raw fish at all costs. Your immune system is suppressed through out your pregnany. Thus making you more susceptible to food-borne illness. Most sushi restaurants offer an array of sushi-rolls that contain no raw meat. I.g.; california rolls, salmon skin rolls, and even philly rolls can contain cooked salmon. If there's a particular roll you're going to miss, ask the chef to substitute the raw meat for cooked. That's what I've been doing. :)

Although some people might continue to eat sushi through out their pregnancy (I.g.; the Japanese.) Keep in mind that not all places may take the necessary pre-cautions for preparation. Raw fish may carry Toxoplasmosis and parasites. Tuna also contains trace amounts of mercury.
