A Philadelphia couple expecting their first child have sparked outrage for requesting high-maintenance, Paleo-friendly, and elaborate meals from their friends on a crowdsourcing page. 

Jim and Alex Burns, of Fishtown, are expecting their first child on April 29. 

To prepare, the couple set up a Meal Train page - a website that allows friends and loved ones to organize home-made meals and deliver them to those who are sick, or in the Burns' case, have just welcomed a baby.  

But the Burns' went overboard with their Meal Train website, listing over 30 specific recipes they'd like delivered such as Paleo breakfast egg muffins with thinly sliced cremini mushrooms, pork breakfast sausage and three tablespoons of melted and cooled ghee.
