Why is it bad to eat junk food while your pregnant?
Answer
Junk food is bad enough for your mature, adult body. If it causes heart disease and diabetes in a grown body, what do you think it could do to a developing body without any defenses?

Question About Food During Pregnancy?
nikki r
What types of food are not good to eat during pregnancy? The only one I know of so far is cold lunch meat. What other types of food are not good for the baby?
Answer
Where did you get the idea that you shouldn't eat 'cold lunch meat' while you are pregnant? You may want to 'cut back' on it, since much 'lunch meat' is treated with 'nitrites' (but so is HAM, and that is NOT a 'cold lunch meat' since it's eaten at every meal) ... and even then just 'be aware' and don't overindulge, not 'stop eating it entirely.
Use what my oncologist taught me when I had cancer ... 'listen to your body' and if it says you 'really want' some 'weird' food, go ahead and EAT IT ... because when the body 'craves' something, it's because there is something in that food that the body 'needs' to stay healthy as possible. That's why pregnant women often have 'weird cravings' for stuff like 'pickles and ice cream' (I used hot dog relish which is made with sweet pickles and had a 'sundae' that was pretty good) ... their bodies NEED it (or the baby needs it) ...
You should NOT 'drink alcohol' according to most doctors these days, because of the possibility of having a child with 'prenatal alcohol syndrome' (a type of 'retardation' with physical 'signs') ... You should not 'smoke' either, because that's 'bad' for the human body ... but in reality if you do either but 'less than normal' you may be 'okay' and so may your baby. People tend not to want to 'think' so they 'do' what 'they tell us' to do ... but especially on the Internet, ANYONE can 'pass themselves off' as an 'expert' and some people will 'believe them' and 'do what THEY say' ...
You should eat a 'well balanced diet' while you are pregnant, but you should eat a 'well balanced diet' when you aren't pregnant, so there's really 'nothing different' about pregnancy and 'eating' at all ... you MAY gain weight, you may LOSE weight ... but if you eat a 'well balanced diet' with 'little salt' and get 'good exercise' you'll be much healthier, which will make your baby healthier, which means that you 'can eat what you want' as long as it 'fits' into that 'well balanced diet' ... so ENJOY your meals, and don't feel 'deprived' for your baby's sake ... or you may end up with a 'picky eater' who wants to 'live' on something basically 'bad' like only peanut butter or only milk ... and I don't think you want that, either.
