Yep. I get that maybe her freakishly fit body may make somebody feel bad, but I find kind of sad that somebody called it an "act of war".

I completely agree. It's like women can't win no matter what they look like. You're picked apart if you look bad and you're picked apart if you look good.
Honestly, a lot of women I know have used pregnancy as an excuse to gain 50-60lbs. Nobody really talks about it, but losing "baby weight" isn't that hard if you maintain a healthy lifestyle throughout your pregnancy.
This. You only need a few hundred extra calories a day and if you follow that guideline and keep at least somewhat active you will not gain a crazy amount of weight nor will you have trouble knocking the few extra pounds off post-pregnancy.
