STUDY: BABY FETUSES HATE KALE, LOVE CARROTS

According to a new study of around 100 pregnant women and their fetuses in England, fetuses in the womb scowled after their mothers ate kale but smiled after they ate carrots. The researchers gave pregnant women capsules containing powdered versions of the two foods. Thirty-five women consumed the equivalent of one medium carrot, and 34 women consumed the equivalent of 100 grams of chopped kale. Another 30 women didn’t consume either. Twenty minutes later, ultrasound scans showed that most of the fetuses exposed to the kale flavor seemed to grimace, while most exposed to the carrot appeared to be laughing. The control group, meanwhile, didn’t have the same responses.
* Great, now do Krispy Kremes.
* Now you’ve got 69 babies going, “Aw, crap, mom’s a vegan.”
* Considering British food, their fetuses must do a lot of scowling.
* What’s the science here? The baby is connected to the mother’s blood supply so your blood tastes like what you eat? How does that work with vampires?
* I’m sure the babies are thinking, “Where’s this milk I’ve heard so much about?”
