I find her attitude to alcohol fine tbh.
She definitely drinks but prides herself on not being a sloppy drunk. Pre Fred she’d often say she was drinking a vodka tonic on the podcasts.
I think generally she is fairly level headed. There is a lot of scaremongering that goes with being pregnant because the advice has to be watertight and very cautious.
If the messaging is unclear, it could easily lead to people think it’s fine to binge drink when pregnant etc so they say it’s best to drink nothing. That’s the clearest, safest messaging when in reality a few drinks is absolutely fine.
I think we are so unused to hearing anyone in the public take the slightest risk of being cancelled. People also get so preachy around kids and pregnancy, which I get but it’s often their own fears and anxiety being projected. I remember seeing a friend’s baby asleep with a hat on and wanting to message her so badly to say to take the hat off Because a midwife once said they can overheat with one on. Once we abide by the parenting rules, we lose our tit when someone doesn’t.
it makes me laugh that she doesn’t care. She’s not doing anything wrong.
re eating meat, I kindof get that too. I was a veggie for 10 years before meeting my husband. It wouldn’t have been an issue for me to stay vegetarian but I’d already started to eat the odd bit of meat before meeting him as I felt like my body wanted it.When I became a veggie it felt so much better for years but your body changes and needs different things as you get older.He probably sped up the transition to eating meat again but it was going to happen regardless
