4. I always classify it as a vegetable...
it starts out as a plant originally...right? That way you can enjoy your 7-10 servings of it daily, guilt free.

16. My mom told me there was a time when Drs used to recommend..
Edited on Mon Mar-03-08 01:57 PM by youthere
breastfeeding mothers drink a glass of beer daily to enrich the breastmilk. I don't know if they still recommend that...but if they do...I definitely had the wrong doc.

Edit: because I can't spell for shit today.

17. My ex's grandmother
Edited on Mon Mar-03-08 01:59 PM by supernova
was advised when she was pregnant to down a daily dark beer w/ a raw egg in it.

This would have been in the late 1890s-1900s (edit: This was in Austria at the time).

42. My mother
Was told be her obstetrician to drink a glass of porter (really dark beer) a day while pregnant with me because she was anemic.

I think this explains a lot.

9. carbs and dairy, and fermented fruit
gimme a good loaf of French bread, some cheese and wine and I'm very happy. Though I do need some leafy greens thrown in there, for contrast.

36. Things that used to be animals
whether land or sea.

That is, meat - but I wanted to make sure to include shrimp, lobster, and tuna, and make sure to leave out insects and arachnids.
