You're Starving Your Unborn Baby | Chicago Med | MD TV 

Here's the thing if house was in any other medical drama the episodes would be a whole lot shorter

@@Boomerjojo78 but they would be really entertaining miniseries though

We need more doctors like House.

Yes, and he'll be right

I couldn’t be a nurse or doctor dealing with a patient like this.

it's not even enough for a healthy toddler....

Im lucky to even eat 1600 a day and I'm not pregnant (gym rat)

700 is too little for a short and underweight woman with no activity. I’m short and underweight and my TDEE is 1300

that's like... what, 1/3rd of what is needed for a NORMAL adult that is NOT pregnant. If you have to then ALSO support the development and eventual feeding of a fetus.... yikes.

Yeah a pregnant woman should be consuming more then 2000 I think to compensate for the fact that she is growing another human being

That’s so terrible. I’ll keep your friend and her baby in my prayers.

So this crazy mom is basically her?

That’s so sad

@@20PINKluvr the mom is not crazy just obsessed with care for her would've been baby and is scared

So sad. The little angel is in heaven. God bless.

My mom would do that with all my female doctors, and I lost several of them. She would argue based on something she read on Facebook or on a blog; I was absolutely humiliated and exhausted. I told her straight up, "I'm not gonna have that because I don't want to lose a doctor." It was a miracle she listened.

Hi gorgeous how are you doing today hope you have a great day and your family are doing well??

Sometimes doctors are wrong so

@@alexandramoyer8785 Doctors aren't perfect.

@@devinreis5811 no one is

I agree

Not only does she need to sign a paper saying that she can't sue, she needs help before she can take that baby home. Edit: Omg thanks for all the likes.

you better don't go there after one of your doctors violated ethical rules for no reason. Also, the signature may not hold in court as it will be done under extreme duress (not being able to keep the baby).

I was thinking they need to call cps. Who knows how she'll neglect that baby with the way she thinks

@@jaimeduncan6167But why should the hospital suffer from her dumbass decisions. I understand ethically speaking they did violate a rule. However the doctors were trying to do was something that woman should have been doing the entire time making sure the baby was healthy and getting the actual nutritions the baby needed to live. I know pregnancy hormones can be out of whack, but this wasn’t hormones at that point this was straight up delusional thinking and she does need help. I mean the husband mentioned that she always had anxiety and control issues. Judging by the way she behaves she probably never got Therapy at least from the parts shown in this video.

That's what bothers you here? Really?

Doesn't it remind you of other people in the real world? People who did their "research" on the internet on a specific medical issue that we just went through?

@@Gib01 I mean people are entitled to do whatever they want, can't force everyone to the same decisions

@@OpticHamster69 Opinions are not facts.

@@Gib01 I agree with this but you also have to remember even if the facts are what they are people choose not to follow factual guidelines. Its just how people work and nobody can force anything upon them if they choose to follow a pseudo-scientific route.

Hi gorgeous how are you doing today hope you have a great day and your family are doing well??

Genuinely, I'd be having regular visits from CPS or something to make sure the kids actually gaining weight, at least for a few months. No threats, just weigh ins.

I feel like there should be a mental disorder on vegans. I got a vegetarian cousin we get along fine how I’ve done plenty of people vegetarian. Vegans I can never associate or be friends with them. Such as I need to guys are used to work with not that I would bother even mentioning them. Those two were the definition of vegan psychos. Interestingly enough one of them will talk about conspiracy theories of how sugar is made along with many other crazy outrageous BS, conspiracy garbage. The other one was not only just vegan, but he was always showing up late for work and oh yes, to make it even interesting he actually was doing heroin. The problem with these people is that they exist to literally going cause harm to businesses and themselves, especially when they’re about to have children. I’d like to see them go to a village in Africa and tell them they got a start eating their way, then getting chased out.

​@@monkeycat48I've met several of both, but only one vegan who was reasonable and not OCD in disguise.

I hope that cps got called in at some point afterwards

Basically "feed your child, you fool!"

Isn't that the doctor, tho?

She's not a nurse, she the doctor that kept telling her she needed to feed her baby.

It's gonna become a vegetable if they're not careful

It will be a vegetable is this low IQ excuse for the mother will start to feed the baby with vegan diet. There is something wrong with the law if it allows pregnant woman to starve her own baby in her womb. (She has money, support system, access to healthcare etc). Just because the baby is on wrong side of the womb does not give her right to kill her own baby. At 8 months a baby can survive outside. If it was a newborn than a woman faces jail time. But because the kid is inside her, none can do anything. Also why the father is not considered into the equation in such cases. The woman is clearly demented and cannot make logical rational decision. It is not like she prefers Chinese food over Italian or something, she is starving her baby.

Lol this comment is hilarious. 😂

Today, nobody’s pure. Not physically, mentally, emotionally or medically. Everyone’s impure in one way or another. You have diabetes, heart disease, cancer, an eating disorder, tuberculosis, soft bones, brittle skin, deafness, tooth decay, etc. We live in a world where people can be fine in one moment and go loony in another.

The fact he was the size of maybe not even a 5 month pregnancy when he came out 😢😢😢 so tiny and barely any skin 😢

she thinks she's not. She thinks she's protecting it and that doctors don't know much because that's what an alternative medicine practitioner has led her to believe

She thinks she's helping her baby and this sounds like an eating disorder a person like this would need mental help

My cousin was doing the same thing to her baby, only feeding her apple juice and barely enough formula. But it wasn't for health reasons. She said she didn't want to have a fat baby. Thank God the state took her into custody. Pretty sure my cousin is still in jail.

Maybe she secretly wants to abort it 😢

@@KendraGraceTNo, it’s clear that this her way of being protective, it’s just a behavior that’s ultimately harmful

There is also a difference between being willfully ignorant, and being delusional. She truly believed she was doing what was best for her and her baby. It's scary, but mental illness can do that to a person. It's the same way people will jump off buildings believing they can fly, nowhere in our society do we give any incling to that being possible, yet people will believe it when they are ill.

I was poisoned by a doctor and given incorrect antibiotics which caused me to need to go to the ER for a full week.. some nurses gir incorrect medications that are fatal... Some people are scared to trust doctors bc of personal experience... Is that a mental disorder ?

@@macie8571 This lady doesn't think the mother was mentally ill. Your experience is also a valid reason though.

@@macie8571 Dr's/nurses do make mistakes, it's not like they poisoned u on purpose and to distrust all Dr's bc of one experience is stupid. And her character never mentioned an experience like that, even her husband stated that she's always been off like that and it just got worse when she became pregnant.

@@byambrr we'll see how the COVID vaccines affect us years from now

@Xyz Xyz ED can come and go also the important thing is this person is conscious of what they have and are doing the best for herself and the baby in her belly I have ED too

Well done xx

Proud of you xx

@Xyz Xyz could have been an accident, or they could have gained it while pregnant. Especially with hormones running rampant, pregnant women can have a hard time eating because their senses are exponential. But I don't know their situation, ED can come from anything really or nothing. My ED came from anxiety 🤷‍♀️

Wish the best for you and your baby

Literally my story. My son saved my life. ❤️

Yep

The stuff in the IV bag that Manning tried to give her contained glucose and amino acids aka the broken down components of carbohydrates and proteins. She was just worried because it looked scary because it was in a bag and not a whole food.

Tpn isn't pure, it's straight up chemicals and medications. It saves lives, sure. But it's not on any level "pure"

@@ry.butterfly chemicals are one of the purest forms of nutrients

@@ry.butterfly No, TPN stands for total parenteral nutrition. It consists of glucose, salts, amino acids, lipids, vitamins, and minerals.

@Justice237 I know what it stands for lol my comment still stands. There's a reason why TPN destroys the liver.

Even worse, a nutritionist. Dietitians have actual credentials and certifications. Anyone can use the label of nutritionist.

It happens. The same with looking up what's wrong or could be. Drags you down a rabbit hole sometimes.

@@jenniferromero571 Oh, God, the number of people who try to self-diagnose over the internet without realizing that almost all of these medical sites are written by the insurance companies...

@@DigiDestined13 I feel like those medical sites being written by insurance companies isn't the problem- the problem is people who use those sites and when their symptoms point to (for the sake of this example) cancer they accept it's cancer, tell people they have cancer, but make zero attempts to see a doctor about their "cancer". Those websites can be useful but you still gotta go see professionals to confirm things.

No she had an eating disorder and it was later addressed. All of you guys are so terrible for having no empathy and judging this woman!!

This isn't an anxiety disorder, this is a type of eating disorder. Specifically a combination of restrictive food intake disorder and anorexia

⁠@@royalrenegade788this case specifically has clear anxiety disorder symptoms. She’s not avoiding eating because of body dystrophies, she’s doing it because she’s anxious about her and her baby’s well being to an irrational degree

@@toffeefeathers It aligns with orthorexia, which is the unhealthy obsession of “healthy” living. She wants to be in control, in this case it isn’t necessarily body shape but it is physical health. Anxiety plays a role in it, but this is a classic presentation of an ED

She was pregnant most of the first season so I was seriously wondering why she didn’t try to use her own experiences sooner to try to get the patient on her side

Kiddos got a one-way ticket to disordered eating

Not unless the dad divorces her and takes the kid. Or the kid files for emancipation before 18. Or CPS is called on her for starving her kid.

Orr seeing her premature child with tubes manually feeding him may have given the mom a wake up call. She may not force her eating disorder on her child out of a newfound understanding.

@@alphaartistmsp2433 while a clear viable thing that can happen you’d be amazed the amount of people who don’t realize what they’re doing, there have been cases of moms hearing that and freaking out because they’re trying to kill their baby with that stuff. Human stupidity never ceases to simultaneously amaze and disappoint me.

that's how my mother still is. and im 20 now

Except she didnt see that. She saw people giving her baby things she didnt approve of. Hence the question about what the baby was getting. The mom's mental state wasn't fixed by the c-section.

Nope, just as ridiculous and crazy. At least she’s killing herself and not the baby too.

@@sapphireriddles6692 exactly. her inability to produce breast milk will be blamed on the doctors too probably.

@@sapphireriddles6692 I'm so upset this episode didn't include Dr. Charles. Why would you have a mental illness case without the mental health doctor?

How about how it’s harming her! People don’t even think of women as people. It’s insane

Orthorexia

That's how orthorexia works. Her fears do come from a place of health consciousness, but it gets to where nothing is pure and healthy enough.

Just because you don’t understand something doesn’t mean it’s not genuine or that it’s bullshit

It's a SHOW

I'm looking @ her husband wondering how he finds her neurotic behavior attractive. How on earth did he get this scrawny woman pregnant?

@@mr_clean575 same i was very confused

I have high cholesterol ( possibly family history) my doctor didn't restrict anything. Just smaller amounts of bad and more of the good

@@samg873 thankfully you went to a real doctor and not a nutritionist! Nutritionists don’t have to have any actual qualifications and are more often than not scammy

@@samg873 yes! Anyone can use it. They’re certainly not all bad but a lot of them are A dietitian is an actual title that requires a certain amount of education

Death is better than any kind of life that woman could ever give them

Any parent who starts enforcing THEIR lifestyles onto a kid who really has no choice but to go along should really never be parents in the first place. They're the types who would rather kill their child than admit their beliefs aren't for correct.

Isn’t her body her choice?

@@yaima0901 you know that at 8 months and with the intent to keep the child, that is not longer just her body.

@@hasturthekinginyellow5003 hmmm but last I saw they want to sign a law that allows them to terminate pregnancy whenever they feel like it….

Im a twin with a brother too. We were both 3 pounds and 2 months premature. I was in the nicu for a month, I can’t imagine how any parent would feel after hearing that they have to wait weeks until they can take their baby home with the fear of them not making it

Yes very dangerous I battle with Ed and had to force myself to eat for my son. Sometimes I still have 2 and I only have a few weeks left. And in anxiety u get from seeing/hearing about baby's that were harmed or died do to bad food and it makes it so much worse.

This is why we need to have mental health resources available for everyone to be able to get help and prevent things like this from happening.

A ticking time bomb of anxiety and depression?

@@Aggression-hc3ypI mean those hormones do make you crazy. This chick clearly has multiple issues that’s what makes for a good show.

This is how crime looks like. Mental disorder is poor excuse for evil people.

Yes the ultrasound will effect the baby in horrific ways! But under eating, when you're supposedly eating for two is completely rational and okay

Individuals who have decided to completely ignore established medical science shouldn't ever be taken seriously

@Mike Sixx It's because of the state of the world. With a rising distrust in news, politics, religion, schooling, police officers, doctors, and fire fighters. People in this day and age don't trust authority figures because all we see of them is being either corrupt or unable to do their job.

"KIDZ DONT BREATH IT CAUSES CANCER!"

@@charlierei9292But it’s ORGANIC 😝 😂

Propagandistic to boot

@@monk3110 Might need to google the meaning of propaganda, because starving your baby and being against that is quite a factual thing in medicine.

The patient clearly has orthorexia. Her unusual fear and paralysis of “impure food”, only eating 800 calories a day, it’s very blatantly a mental health issue and extreme health anxiety. I wouldn’t actually quality her in the “crazy alternative” realm, since organic fresh produce with low red meat intake isn’t an insane stance to have. Im vegetarian myself and prefer fresh produce over more processed foods, but the borderline is the obsession and anxiety around the food, alongside restriction and improper management of intake.

@@joelvr101 well yes she is the strawman

The fact these people exist make me wanna never go outside, how do such imbeciles exist

Exactly.

An eating disorder is not a normal condition for any pregnancy. And normally fertility is hindered by nutrient deprivation.

@@imadone Yes exactly!! I can't believe the show didn't even address her obvious eating disorder. No adult thinks 800 calories a day is ok during pregnancy. (Or at all, unless one is on a special diet under close doctor supervision)

Exactly!

@@imadone true, but women in concentration camps still got pregnant and delivered babies. It is a lot less likely, but not impossible.

All over tiktok

However if a doctor did something behind my back without my permission I'd sue their asses.

Let the writers of this fictional TV show know.

@@GraceyManorsyup but knowing how the mother was acting, she would’ve tried to sue them for not helping her, at least in the way she was “ helping “ her baby.

There is something like that called an AMA form that patients sign when they are leaving the hospital against medical advice (AMA). Basically, by signing it, the patient acknowledges that they understand the risks and potential complications of not receiving treatment and desire to continue without treatment.

As someone who has a family member who is a psychiatrist, I can tell you that it wouldn’t have helped. The only way they could force her into medical treatment is to get a judge to declare her mentally incompetent, and she doesn’t meet that requirement. She does need mental help, obviously, but that would take years of therapy, that’s not something a hospital can do.

There is no way this woman would be allowed to harm her baby like this in real life. It's odd this sloppy writing exists in the same fictional universe as Law & Order and Homicide LOTS

@@diosoth hospitals don't want to get sued.... forcing medical treatment (pregnant or not) can result in that

@@diosoth these episodes are taken heavily from actual medical cases, these things really do happen

@@diosoth so what would happen then?

@@diosoth actually it can and does. Its a result of my body my choice, the baby isn't a life yet legally in some states like California and New York. It's not just about what a law says but how it can be interpretted.

@@Aggression-hc3yp At her stage in pregnancy, 2,400 calories. 1,800 for early stage.

@@fabplays6559 - Any less than the recommended amount is not a good thing for mother or child! Malnutrition is a serious health risk that affects many people who need to get more than a handful of food in them.

A vegan infant is okay as long as they get breastfed or a vegan baby formula. The problem wasn't veganism.

@@HopeSingh in all 50 states feeding a vegan diet to an infant is deemed child abuse often classified under intentional starvation or neglect.

@@ayajade6683 Nope. Actually the American Academy of nutrition and dietetics says a vegan diet is fine for all ages. A well planned one. You can't feed your kid just almond milk.

Please don't mock the dad's profession, when it is those parents mental disorders that effected the care of their child. No chiropractic school, which is an actual school like med school, will teach that in health class. I work for one, and he teaches balanced proper nutrition and active fitness is how to be healthy, not teaching a kid to have eating disorders and body issues.

​@@heathercontois4501 it's quackery it's not a real medical degree but a certificate with no oversight from a medical board or college. it's a scam

@@ayajade6683 actually, it requires a pre- med degree. Also extensive education in the health am function of the muscles, nervous system and skeletal system. It seems to me you met one of the ones who is just weird and practices improperly. Especially with he and his wife teaching their child how o have eating disorders.

@@heathercontois4501 i hear you, and let me open by saying I've seen a chiro numerous times who is fantastic, educated, and respectable. However. The stigma against chiropractors doesnt come from nowhere. I knew one who claimed he could treat ADHD with periodic sessions involving a little drum set connected to an interactive video. It's been a while, but I think I heard him claim a couple times that after enough sessions, symptoms wouldn't return. Gullible people paid to have their child tap a plastic drum at the direction of a tv screen, so well persuaded they didnt realize the absurdity of the idea that playing, essentially, super slow guitar hero at most once a week was going to treat a mental disorder that is typically handled by pills you can tell the day of whether you took or not. So, I think I understood OP's quotes around doctor. Chiros are chiros, not doctors. They're very good at what they do, but they shouldn't veer out of that lane, regardless of whether the temptation to do so might be ego or greed. The end result is bad for everyone.

@@sapphireriddles6692 Chiropractors are in the medical system as Doctors of Chiropractic-like every other kind of specialty. I do fully follow that they can have the same quacks and crazy practitioners as every other medical profession. It's just that with it being a specialty, it makes the stigma against it worse.

That is wrong. You only need to eat at most an extra 300 calories a day at the end from what I remember. It's not a full human like you are and does not need nearly as much as you do.

A grown woman should be taking in 2500 calories a day, her being on 700-800 is anorexic status , and when pregnant the above comment is correct you only need to increase your diet by s few hundred calories to support the baby, women think eating for two is doubling your calorie intake but that can lead to extreme weight gain, gestational diabetes , fluid retention, diet is so important when pregnant

You are eating for two but should not eat as two. Healthy eating, not overeating.

I didn't lose custody of my son, and I wasn't admitted to the psych ward. I only received professional help when my son was 8 months old. Looking back now it is really discouraging how many people, including healthcare professionals didn't care enough to actually get me help, or at minimum say something to me.

They did. She just doesn’t care.

Since it seems you'd like to have kids, and are so aware of your struggles, surround yourself with a mental, birthing and nutrion medical team which will help you stay strong through pregnancy. 🤗

I know how you feel. Are you able to get therapy? Therapy can really help.

I had an extremely bad eating disorder when I was a teen/early adulthood. I was tormented my whole life by classmates and family over being fat and when I was 14 I swallowed a 500 count of Tylenol and at the time was so upset I woke up the next morning. So once that happened I turned to the whole ED. Then I got pregnant unexpectedly, not trying, using 2 types of Birth Control, and I was in university. I didn't want a baby and I was so scared as I didn't find out I was pregnant until 11 1/2 weeks along. What could I have done? But my worry for my child and a very very strong doctor who told me I had two choices, to start eating properly or he was going to have me strapped to a bed and a feeding tube put through my nose. It made me start to eat, it was very slow going and I will admit I had more months of weight loss then gain, but I was following the eating plans as best as I could. I was also cursed with Hyperemesis which caused me to puke right up until I delivered my baby! But 19 years later, she is healthy, smart and had a very good relationship with food. I do still struggle a lot, but after I had my daughter, I wanted to make sure she didn't go down the road I did, and I had to lead by example! The point to my ramblings is, sometimes veing pregnant can have a more positive effect on you then this mom. It makes you go the opposite way and want what is best for your baby no matter what happens to you. I'm sure you will be awesome and make the best choices for your family! And if you are still struggling, talk to someone about it. It isn't weak to reach out and ask for help! Good luck!!

@@faristasairuv5143 I’ve made a lot of progress with counseling and medication. I gained healthy weight and my ED doesn’t control my life anymore like it used to. Im still a little tentative and have anxiety issues but I’m hoping I’ll be off medication in a year or so.

@@Nikki_81 that gives me a lot of hope. Im at a point now where Im fairly confident I would maintain a physically healthy pregnancy thankfully. My only worry is going back initially to my old habits and how the anxiety will affect me during the pregnancy. But I’m actively doing what I need to heal completely. It’s just that voice in the back of my mind that comes out every once in a while. I dont think that fear will ever go away but I’m lucky to have my husband by my side

It's pride. It's Human nature to overreach, even with things like what we think we know.

Sometimes they are right I went to multiple doctors and payed lots of money only to tell me it was in my head when I knew for sure it wasn’t. So I did my own research came up with the conclusion saw another doctor and it turns out I had the same disease that has no cure. I was in debilitating pain everyday since I turned 13.

theres times when i can apreciate patients disagreeing but even then i generally dont disagree with the facts of the situation my dr thinks i could maybe loose just a touch weight (im 105kg hed prefer i was closer to 80) i disagree on the basis that im not gaining weight and have held this weight solid since i was 17 years old (im now 30) my diet is not excessive and i am somewhat active i ride my ebike in pedal assist mode 20 miles a day (it actually counts its better than driving a car) and i often walk long distances with ease and ive always been fairly physically fit i ran cross country for fun i was on the sprinting team and played rugby and am quite strong ive chosen to not make any drastic changes to my diet as im already eating fairly well and if i loose the weight great if not i dont forsee it causing any major health negatives to me at this stage to warrant undergoing major diet or excercise changes that being said i do not for one single second disagree with his opinion it would be optimal for me to be less over weight and there are some minor risks posed to me those are facts and i dont disagree with them nor do i think i know better than him btw my daily caloric intake sits around 1000-1800 calories at best

It’s not pride, but fear. She’s scared and these doctors don’t consider her opinion. If she thinks the IV is bad they should try to educate her further and address her concerns, bring in a third party, or find a different alternative.

More often than not said "legal" action goes nowhere and the most she gets is a slap on the wrist. Gotta say, while I respect her intentions, it does get grating

Yep. Wildly unrealistic lol jeopardizes her license way too often

Her patient is the mother, this is nonsense. If it was another doctor, a non-feminist one it will make sense, but Dr Mannning is not supposed to belive that the fetus (no baby to starve) has any particular value besides the mother's desire.

That’s not a good thing. She has wrongly called cps on several patients and broke several laws. Even if she doesn’t agree as a doctor she has no right to do that IV. The doctors on this show are narcissist with a terrible god complex.

@@ashleysmith7632 Oh, I did not know that.

Ortorexia, an obsession with eating “pure” food. I don’t think it’s officially recognised yet as an official eating disorder but it’s being studied

From the liberal's perspective, there is no baby to protect. That is why is so stupid that a female doctor will do something like that. There is no one to protect except the mother. The mother has the right to refuse treatment.

@@jaimeduncan6167 what? At over 6months pregnant there's definitely a baby in here. The fetus starts to form memories, can hear, see, react... it basically just can't breathe on its own at this point. You definitely have a human inside you.

One minute there and he’s already complaining about how an ultrasound will affect brain development. I know he’s just a character but I do not believe for a minute that he agreed with those doctors. If he was so concerned he would’ve worked with her to get her enough calories to sustain their baby months before it got to this point.

14lbs? Dang, are your parents really tall? Largest I've personally seen was 12lbs; somehow my cousin had two 12lb babies without any meds.

Do u mind ne asking, are you on the bigger side, as in weight or height? Did your mom have a c section

@@missdaydreamss i was actually underweight until i hit puberty. parents normal size. i was born at 10 months. natural birth, mom said it was her easiest of three births, she had blood pressure issues so no meds.

This is a big ol lie.

It’s likely that her “midwife” is a naturopath or something, someone that is equally as scared of GMOs and processed foods and loves organic, that would affirm her beliefs.

@@Justice237 No a good naturopath would be very helpful.

​@@barbarahollands6415 yeah no they're only good in wack-a-doodle circles they're quacks who 99% of the time should be charged with practicing medicine without a license

@@barbarahollands6415 perhaps she is a bad one

The issue is midwives don’t require the same amount of training, so while there are excellent, up to date, midwives out there, there are also, not so great ones.

Certain states had that's at one point in the 20s and 30s I doubt it's coming back. It is funny tho that if this woman was starving an actual baby not a fetus she'd probably be in jail.

@@thomaswalmsley8959 good thing we don’t live a hundred years ago then. Look, I know this woman is infuriating but she has rights

How would that work exactly? “Sorry man we’ve carefully considered it an decided you’re not pure enough to carry a child, so we’ve scheduled an emergency abortion”

@@mar-k7104 well that's sorta my point. That America went down that route and it didn't stick (and looking back, it feels gross.). But at the same time it's a strange situation cause if she was a starving a 1 month old infant she'd be done, but an 8 week fetus is okay I guess.

@@mar-k7104 and harming others is the basis by which we usually start taking rights.

Show her corn/maize - it used to be a grass.

98% of all GMOs is just inserting cauliflower DNA as cauliflower is the most drought, pest, famine, etc resistant. 1.8% is just turning genes on or off through selective breeding/ hybridization with other species/varieties of the same crop and the other .2% is the crazy things like tobacco tomatoes. I don't know why they're that terrified of cauliflower or selective breeding

I've never understood that whole american thing about GMOs being bad. Most other places I've been, and there's been plenty, while there certainly are people who believe that they were a minority, whereas I couldn't walk 2 steps in grocery store in America without it having some "GMO-free" stamp on it

Carrots werent always orange. I believe our food overall used to be smaller, and of course less resistant to pests. Pretty sure without GMOs we'd have little chance of meeting food demand. Besides, most of our pets qualify as GMOs. I dont see people running from them.

@@sapphireriddles6692 Just cross-breeding plants with human intervention by default makes it a GMO.

Doctors also want to make their own lives simpler by following guidelines that other doctors also follow because other doctors follow to make a 9-5 simpler. When proven wrong they shrug it off and get back on board with what other doctors think to make their life simpler..

@@Bonesph your absolutely right about that!! :)

People in their right mind won’t but people with anorexia will and I wish people would have empathy

Omg man wth
