New Diagnosis

Suffering from Fetal Apple Pie Syndrome.

When my mom was pregnant with me, she used to eat apple pie for breakfast. She did this with the thinking that if it was going to come back up, she might as well enjoy it going down. Now more than thirty years later, if there is apple pie in the house, I have to eat it for breakfast. I can't help wondering if this poor nutritional habit has been inflicted on me due to choices my mom made while pregnant. It also makes me think I might qualify for some kind of disability compensation because, after all, it is harder to function throughout the day when you don't start with the proper nutrition.

Apple pie has all the nutrition you could need. Fruit, Flour, and yummie yummie goodness. What else do you need to start your day!

I think apple pie is probably better for you than a bowl of frosted cereal. I agree with Ken, it has all the nutrition you need and a lot less of the bad stuff.

Add one more vote for the "Apple pie is good for you!" count. I also think that cobblers and crisps and tarts and all those yummie yummie goodness foods make great guilt-free breakfasts.

Just remember how all those people on the Titanic who passed on apple pie for breakfast that morning felt.
One more vote for pie.

Surely it must count as one of your 5-a-day of fruit and veg. Two slices would count as 2 portions! My favourite breakfast sin is croissants, which I sometimes have on a weekend - not nearly as good for you as apple pie! Having read Cindy's comment - I will try to feel less guilty.

By the way Hope - how is Bea getting on?
