Peas say it isn't so

I’m about to go check on Snopes. This whole “baby food diet” is a hoax, right? Like albino alligators in the NY sewer system, or people who think they’ve been shot in the head because of exploding canned biscuits. Nobody is really eating baby food to lose weight, right? Right?

I mean . . . ew. Shudder. Baby food. You’d actually have to get it near for face to eat it. Blurp. It’s all I can do to feed a baby that canned, smooshed beef without regurgitating. The smell! And those radioactive looking pureed green be . . . blugh. Gag reflex activated. You know why babies grow up so fast? So they can get away from the baby food! There’s a reason they try to knock the spoon plane away when it comes in for a landing. Even with if you do make the bi-plane sound effect.

And how do you sit there and eat a jar of strained peaches without feeling like a complete fool? That is just not possible. I mean barring having your jaw wired shut. But at that point you have other things to worry about. But if you’re old enough to drive to McDonald’s on your own and you’re eating Gerber’s? Wow. Just wow.

yeah, I've always thought of it as nasty - but apparently there is a big contigent out there of secret baby food eaters - some type of comofort food attachment, I guess.

I actually find the cotton balls models are rumored to eat more appetizing than baby food. I will cop to throwing a jar of strained peaches or carrots into a loaf of zucchini bread. But it ends up being food you actually have to chew!
