As long as you're healthy, weightwise and other, you are allowed to eat whatever the hell you want, especially if you're pregnant.

When the majority of people buy groceries, they often stock up for the next 1-2 weeks. No one said she'd be eating both candy bars back to back. Frankly, for normal and otherwise healthy people it's no big deal to eat two candy bars in one sitting anyhow, once in a while. So long as treating oneself with food isn't a habit, I find it more disrespectful to oneself to be deprived of yumminess due to societies' asinine opinions :)

Chocolate makes women happy it could make the fetus happy :)

Actually, the wording makes it perfectly clear this was for one event 'for a snack' not 'as snacks', whilst the very fact she said 'snack' not 'treat' or some other variation suggests that this is not a particularly rare event. A candy bar is NEVER a snack, and i'm sick of fatass people complaining they're fat whilst using lines like 'oh, it's just a little snack'. Meanwhile, using pregnancy as an excuse just means you'll either get excessively fat over the nine months and struggle to lose the weight, or you'll get so used to eating that much shit that you'll get fat after the baby is born. There is nothing wrong with treating yourself but 'grabbing a couple of candy bars for a snack' does not sound like a rare occurrence, it sounds like 'fatty fatty boom boom'

How about the fact that the cashier had no idea this was a snack. OP never said she told the cashier 'oh ill Just grab these snickers as a light snack...' The chocolate bars could have been one for her one for her husband, hell they could have been for ANYBODY. So a cashier making snarky remarks is totally unacceptable.

How about the fact that more nutrients means you would need to consume more calories. And I'm sure you don't understand pregnancy cravings. Or anything for that matter judging by your grammar

Chocolate can be a dessert OR a snack. Who are you to lecture a stranger on nutrition? Oh and as someone before me has said: CRAVINGS. You're an idiot.

That is obviously true. And yes, the cashier was bitchy for commenting at all. My comment was however a bit universal regarding pregnancy eating habits, and not only and directly meant for the OP.

You would not need to eat that much more calories to gain nutrients. You only need to eat right. Perhaps I don't understand cravings seeing as I was raised with some self control, and I am intelligent enough to see that "I crave this" is not an acceptable excuse to live of crap. Yes, a person might very well eat a bit of what they crave, but the fact that two chocolate bars a day is an unhealthy habit still stands. Also, attacking ones grammar is generally the last resort one uses when they run out of real arguments. Which you have demonstrates beautifully. And judging my intelligence or knowledge of the world by my grammatical errors is nothing but immature. How many languages do you speak fluently and utterly perfect? English is not my native tongue, so personally I find my skills regarding the language quite satisfying.

You're awfully quick to judge-you don't know whether or not she's overweight, what her regular eating habits are, or even who she was buying them for. I don't know if you're a female or if you've ever been pregnant, but pregnancy cravings are a lot stronger than normal "I'm in the mood for___." No, it's not an excuse to overindulge, but a little chocolate every now and then isn't exactly going to tip the scales. Shame on you for jumping to conclusions.
