Double Standards

I haven't decided yet what I think about this double standard. I don't know that I really even want it changed, just acknowledged that there is a double standard.

Yesterday, I fed a baby for the first time (my nephew Luke). He was also fed earlier in the day. Here is what caught my eye (or brain, or whatever).

Luke ate, then quickly fell fast asleep, and was encouraged to do both in that quick of a succession, yet whenever I get hungry at 11:00 at night or something, or I begin to cook late at night (read: pop popcorn) I get comments about eating right before sleeping.

There is a double standard. Babies are encouraged to eat and immediately go to sleep, sometimes even to eat while asleep, and adults are often encouraged not to eat "x" hours before going to bed.

It feels wrong to me, and I kinda think we should all be on the baby standard, but haven't researched any health reasons enough yet to know if i stick by changing the standard or not.

Nonetheless, it must be acknowledged as a double standard.
