Mixed Vegetable Baby Food
Shelf Life had dinner with a bunch of babies the other day, and was struck by their complete and utter awesomeness. For us, the miracle of newborn humanity gives rise to all sorts of deeply felt, meaning-of-life questions, not to mention the follow-up issues: Is Baby Einstein a complete and utter waste of time? Do infants get in touch with their inner child? Does anyone look good dressed head to toe in yellow? And what’s up with baby food? Shelf Life has no answers to the former, but we can help with the question of kid cuisine.
Commercial baby foods date from the late nineteenth century, when companies such as Nestle promoted their dried milk products as progressive and hygienic alternatives to domestic fare (Nestle’s Best For Babies, for example, was touted as better than milk, “for impure milk in hot weather is one of the chief causes of sickness among babies”). But it wasn’t until the end of the 1920s that manufactured baby foods became a staple, as canned foods dropped in price and child care experts endorsed strained fruits and vegetables for the infant diet. The Gerber Company was founded in 1927 (and almost immediately took advantage of the burgeoning craft of advertising by coming up with its iconic Gerber Baby campaign), and Beech Nut in 1931. One of the landmarks in the history of packaged food was invented in Canada that same year: three pediatricians and a nutrition laboratory technician at Sick Childrens Hospital in Toronto developed a dried cereal called Pablum. Still a standard infant food today, Pablum is pre-cooked and provides added vitamins (especially D, the lack of which causes the childhood disease ricketts). For 25 years, Sick Kids received a royalty for every package of Pablum sold; in 2005 the brand was acquired by Heinz.
For as long as there has been manufactured baby food, parents have seesawed between the attractions of convenient, long-life products concocted by company technicians versus labour-intensive, personally pulverized carrots or bananas made by Mom (or Mr. Mom). In eras such as the 1930s and the 1950s, consumers placed a great deal of faith in the claims of science and industry, so much so that homemade baby food was thought to be the work of nutters, bohemians, and farmers. Today, the Age of Progress consensus is long over. Consumers are much more wary of corporate food, much more informed about child nutrition, and possess in their kitchens the single most effective means of bypassing packaged baby food altogether: a blender. Not to be outmaneuvered, Big Baby figured out a way to offer no-fuss infant meals and reassure parents at the same time. Enter organic baby food, sales of which have shot up %58 percent in five years.
