I just ate a hamburger stuffed with cheese and it was great ! Cheese INSIDE the meat.

You're one of the reasons many of us don't want to always mention being vegetarian or vegan. Good grief. You can't just say eating meat like a normal person?

I was a vegetarian before my first pregnancy and the same thing happened to me. I ate meat and continue to do so. Each pregnancy (I'm on number 3) I especially crave hamburgers , which I don't normally like.

Please pass the guacamole!

Avocados are terrible for the environment. I'd eat some cheese.

You should worry about the butterflies, and water contamination, sanctiveg!

When cravings are for something like a pint of Ben and Jerry's, I think, skip. When it's for a food that is nutrient dense, like meat, eat it. I am usually a take it or leave it meat eater, but if I don't get regular, fairly large servings of animal-based protein during pregnancy, I feel just disgusting. Her body probably needs the concentrated fat, iron and protein.

Yeah, her body just wants protein.

That's very nice of you. I will celebrate your act by eating an ossobuco.

Joey is that you? What a nice thing to do for your friend Phoebe!

It's a thing. I went vegetarian so my pregnant friend could eat meat for a while and more animals wouldn't die because of her cravings.

My best friend was veg for a long time and had strong meat cravings. Actually started eating meat, figured her body was telling her something.

I don't know if it's a thing but her body is probably craving the iron found in red meat.

Any pregnant vegetarians experience strange cravings? My sister has been a vegetarian since middle school and is pregnant with her first kid and says she's been craving meat. Is this a thing?
