Foodie Fodder

April 23rd, 2012

Every so often we come across something that’s too good to keep to ourselves.  Such is the case with this new “appetizing app” by Parenting.Com.  Their new Can I Eat It? app answers all of your food safety questions for what you can—and can’t—eat during pregnancy.  They’ll fill you up with extensive reviews of meat & poultry, fish, dairy, beverages, produce and condiments & sauces. They’ll even tell you what’s good and bad for you (and why), plus suggest similar items to avoid or enjoy.   From cooked clams to raw almonds, Parenting.com will have an answer for all of your “Can I eat this while pregnant?” questions.  Go ahead, dig in!
