They're selling certainty rather than nutrition.<br /><br />Absolutely true that the earlier you start throwing real food at kids (often literally) and the more like your own food it is, the more they'll like it and the broader their preference base will be.Dr Yobbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10032085614743539793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553868088750898789.post-66912253843743813872009-05-30T22:41:41.876+10:002009-05-30T22:41:41.876+10:00One quick note: the onions in 'Chickeny Capsicum G...One quick note: the onions in 'Chickeny Capsicum Goodness' are actually spring onions or eschallots -- not fraggin' great white bastard onions. That would be kind of rude. <br /><br />The whole baby food experience was a rude shock to me. Elder Son ate nothing but home-blend stuff for the first few months of his solid-food career. Then we had to go on a road trip, so we bought a few jars of healthy-looking stuff that assured us of its goodness.<br /><br />Elder Son spraypainted me with them. And that was weird, because he LOVED his food. So of course, puzzled, I tasted the stuff. And that was the end of that. <br /><br />I have no idea why they seem to think babies want to eat tasteless goo, but they're very very wrong. Nobody wants to eat that shit. It's just that babies can't talk to beg for something better, I guess.Flintharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17456024642528783549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553868088750898789.post-1631737434986940622009-05-30T09:27:27.039+10:002009-05-30T09:27:27.039+10:00This is one of the most informative bits of writin...This is one of the most informative bits of writing i've ever come accross.
