TLC Needs To STAWP
On "Birth Moms" (Thu., 10 p.m. ET on TLC) viewers were introduced to Kandice Machado. The 23 year-old mom of two was pregnant again after a one-night stand, and she was preparing to give the baby up for adoption.
However, unlike most expecting moms Kandice wasn't going to let maternity get in the way of her lifestyle choices like smoking and drinking booze.
The former prostitute was also a self-confessed shoplifter and vowed that if she had to, "I would go and prostitute my body for $5 to feed the kids."
The adoptive parents that Kandice had chosen for her unborn baby boy apparently knew about her questionable habits. "I told my adoptive family that I smoked," she said, "'cuz that’s something they need to know. I even told them I had a drink the other night. I'm not gonna lie."

So if she wasn't stealing food, I wonder what she was taking.
Judges do tend to give pregnant women long sentences for petty crimes in the interest of stopping them though.

As for drinking, some will say you can drink minimal amounts while others say you can't drink at all. Studies have proven that heavy drinking will affect your fetus, but no study has been able to prove that small amounts of alcohol have any effect on your baby. Personally, I wouldn't drink alcohol, but I wouldn't avoid it like the plague is it were cooked in food or something.
Just change the name of the fucking network already.
Plastic is my favorite.
