Transition From Mother’s Milk To Basic Foods

Transition from mother's milk to basic foods

It holds high importance to transition from mother’s milk to healthy basic foods. Avoid second hand sugar by offering healthy choices early on. Sweetened and masked foods are pushed onto children. This is spurred on by the marketing companies. Their goal remains to tickle the taste buds so that their product will sell best. We are gradually trained to believe these sweet delicious foods are what we want.

Transition from Mother’s Milk to Basic Food

Mother’s milk is sweet to the taste

And formula is too

Then onward to flavored and sweetened liquids

And infant foods and then solids too

The child needs to learn about non-sweetened foods

These are essential for healthy growth

The trick is to get the child to eat these foods

And learn to like them

One way is to get the little person good and hungry

Hungry enough to eat what is available

Hungry enough to eat and not complain

In today’s world that would be inhumane

Too often we begin a meal with a sweetened beverage

Or toast with jelly, or other sweet food

Then comes the main course made sweetened too

And flavored or deemed inedible

The food chemists have learned to create delicious food

The texture is delightful and the color is sublime

With hundreds of flavorings, seasonings and spices

We have a difficult task knowing when to stop eating

The food industry fights for market share

Blind taste testing is the way to go

What is sweetest and most flavorful is what sells

Also, it smells so heavenly

Sliders slide down the throat with two bites

Furthermore, we become delighted by the taste

The mommy says “Oh honey, try it, we saw it on TV.”

Also, the little child says, “Oh it is so sweet and delicious.”

If it is sweet, looks good, smells fine and has pleasant odors it will sell

The child does the taste test
