There used to be written rules about what one could give babies to eat
up to one year. I think it was Dr. Spock, who was at the time the
know-it-all of bringing up baby mentally and physically sound.

Now I see people out at different eating areas giving babies french
fries that when they gum it, the fat goes streaming down their chin.
Pity!

Sometime ago I was in a Costco where a guy was giving a baby a piece
of hot-dog and he looked over at me sheepishly, but then kept on
giving the baby more. When I say, baby, it was not even sitting up.
Then he went over and got some water out of the machines and filled up
the baby's water bottle for a thirst quencher. Yee gods!
