A Convert
Shannon had rigorously followed the Paleo diet for years before the birth of her baby, and she was a convert – she felt healthier than ever! Of course, she wanted her baby to feel the same way. But her controversial decision to raise her baby on the Paleo diet attracted judgment for several different reasons. The main criticism Shannon faced was that the diet was designed for adults. How could she know if it would be appropriate for a newborn baby? Would Grace develop normally? Shannon tried to ignore the opinions of others, but many doctors couldn’t hold back.
