She&#8217;s 5&#8217;6&#8243;, 135 lb and not pregnant. After some late-night antics with her young hubby and nine months of gestation, she&#8217;s now a whopping 160 lbs, and about 8 lbs of that is baby. What was that baby made from? There&#8217;s only one possibility, and it&#8217;s the one way that we take matter into our bodies: food.<\/p>\n<p>Babies are made of food.<\/p>\n<p>When a woman gets pregnant, her body is transformed into a factory which takes in raw materials, such as cheese, bread, Doritos and ice cream, and constructs a baby from those materials. It is likely that you could eat only pizza while pregnant and still produce a marginally healthy baby. If you did, then that baby would be made entirely out of pizza.<\/p>\n<p>So all you pregnant or soon-to-be pregnant ladies should remember that your baby is what you eat&#8230; err, your baby is made from what you eat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to know where babies really come from?
