From Jezebel, here is a compilation of her more creative tips:
1. Your uterus is a "baby house" and if you eat meat and dairy then your baby is marinating in "toxic sludge."
2. Don't listen to the "pseudoscience" peddled by Big Diaper—all babies should just crawl around bottomless leaving little baby poo trails everywhere, and if you see a baby making its doodoo-face, grab it and hold it over the toilet real quick. Because "toxic sludge" is apparently not such a big deal when it's tracked all over your actual house. (Just have your maid clean it up later!)
3. You should pre-chew your child's food and then baby-bird it into their mouth. Like Alicia Silverstone literally does.
4. Not letting your child sleep with you and your partner and your other babies in the "Family Bed" is "tantamount to neglect."
5. Being vegan prevents and/or cures every single major and minor disease, including post-partum depression, and if you acquire any of said diseases it's because you are an unkind mama and also probably a fatty.
6. "Anecdotally," vaccines are baby-ruiners.
According to Drs. Roizen and Oz…While there has not been a conclusive study of the negative effects of such a rigorous one-size-fits-all, shoot-'em-up schedule, there is increasing anecdotal evidence from doctors who have gotten distressed phone calls from parents claiming their child was 'never the same' after receiving a vaccine. And I personally have friends whose babies were drastically affected in this way.
7. The vagina—or "chichi"—is "the most absorbent part of your body" (!?!?!?!), and tampons are murdering you from the inside.
8. Also she uses the word "yummy" a lot.
And she is quoted as saying this in her book: "though it's less common among kind mamas, some women experience the blues after giving birth"
Pfft. In a few months she'll be peddling "kind mama" brand ultra super hypoallergenic vegan diapers and baby food "just like pre-chewed but without the chewing!" "For BUSY kind mamas"

I wish I had a platfrom to spew some SCIENCE.
Speaking of platforms, I don't get how she is even relevant. She did Clueless ages ago and since??? Not that you need to be an active actor to mouth off nonsense that takes mommy shaming to a new level apparently.

I feel like this shit is too out there, even for a semi + crunch, that its not uproar worthy or even obnoxious because it can't be taken seriously at all.

If there is anything I have learned from being heavily involved in the Megan Heimer drama on CEP, it is that there is always a group of people who will take someone seriously if they speak with enough conviction and quote enough 'sources'.
She makes Mayim more palatable :-)Actually I like Mayim but understand why others don't. I just can't see any of the Super Crunch I know going to this level with things...veganism yes, anti-vaxx yes, using this language no.
I roll my eyes at all of the stuff so many of these celebrities say about child rearing. It always comes across as so nauseatingly sanctimonious.
I get really angry that the media gives them such a microphone with the anti-vaxx stuff , though. I think the media wants a good laugh and perhaps thinks people don't take these idiots seriously. But they do! We have outbreaks of measles , mumps and rubella because of this insanity.

I really don't care if she is wiping up pee and poop trails all day, thinks vaginas are more absorbent than a super tampon, or chews her child's food like she's a cow chewing it's cud. I just hate the dimwitted "my friend's child was different after vaccines, so don't get them" fuckery. It's such a disservice for people who think celebrities know their head from their asshole, a la Jenny McCarthy and now apparently Alicia Silverstone.

Yes this plus the PPD comment saying you probably won't have it if your a "kind mama". Society's view of depression is fucked up and these kind of people don't need a soapbox to express these views.
People really believe this asshattery. I have friends who post shit on FB that I am like OMG!!!! These are friends i consider fairly intelligent. They think all disease and health issues is tied to diet and what you ingest.So if you eat "properly" you don't need medicine or vaccines. Um no?
