Will Feeding Infants Finger Food Rather Than Puree Curb Child Obesity?

This article claims that it will.

  • Perhaps there is something to this. However I honestly think that getting pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, preservatives, and substances such as MSG out of our diets will go a long way towards making people of all ages healthier. Also using real sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup will help. I don't care what the high fructose corn syrup industry says, fructose is metabolized differently than glucose. Google Dr. Mercola and high fructose corn syrup to see the article.
    Certainly any one or all of these measures would be better than the current blaming and shaming of larger people. One cannot tell a person's health by looking them. And converse to the assertion that larger people are constantly eating rich foods, the facts are that there is a high correlation between poverty and obesity. This would indicate that malnutrition rather than gluttony might be a factor in the rise in obesity over the last 30 years.
