Why is conventional baby food bland?
Conventional baby food is a product of the industrial age. In order to manufacture mass amounts profitably, baby food needed to meet the needs of industry. Baby food became homogenous, diluted with water, thickened with starch fillers, and bereft of flavor. From the 1950’s on, the powerful marketing of large corporations convinced a generation of parents to buy into its concept of industrial baby food – and quality was traded for cheapness, blandness, and false security.
