Weird Food Question: Would You Eat Baby Food?

[PBandJ_Nerd]

If you must ask why such a question exists, it was from a conversation me and my sister had. She of course has a baby and was feeding him one of his baby meals. I then asked her if the baby food was much healthier than what we ate. She responded "Yes, it is. I don't know why Gerber doesn't upgrade and make meals for adults." I told her that it'd be more expensive if they did that. But that you could buy the baby food & snacks for yourself if you wanted, as nobody would even know you're eating it. So, back to our question: Would you eat baby food & snacks due to them being healthier?

[MimiKitty]

I would definitely use baby food in recipes that call for a puree, or I would eat the snacks, but I wouldn't eat jars of baby food for a meal. That sounds expensive and bland.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Wasn't thinking of just jars of baby food for a meal. It wouldn't be very good for an adult to do that. Of course, unless they're in a condition where they have no choice. Any other time I've heard of people doing that is if they try doing the baby food diet in order to lose weight. I should've told my sister about the baby food pancakes.

[FreyaRed]

Yes. Some baby food dishes taste really good. However baby food for 12 months and younger babies have reduced salt amount and taste a little bit bland.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

It is made for babies, those little humans can't have too much salt and sodium in their diets. Not good for their bodies. Unlike us where our food is packed with too much sodium than needed.

I love baby food as well as apple sauce (reminds me a bit of baby food). I don't go out of my way to eat it but I like it.

I am not sure they're the healthiest choice though. They're reasonably healthy snacks but at least the fruit ones from Gerber are mostly complex carbs without much protein or fats or micro variety. I've never tried the meat ones.

Eating a variety of whole foods still seems a bit better to me for adults with teeth although I think Baby Food makes excellent healthy snacks here and there.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I wouldn't recommend trying the meat ones. They look disgusting and I'm going to guess they taste gross too. My sister showed me some stuff she had received from his family and they were like chicken sausages in a jar. Then there was like beef and veggies in a squeezable pouch (like you see in applesauce). Then there was chicken noodle, which didn't seem as bad.

Not eaten blended baby food but I've eaten rusks, they're awesome I don't know why they're only aimed at babies.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Blended baby foods don't taste bad. Blended veggies and fruits always taste good, but stay away from the meaty ones.

When my kids were young, I often ate a few of their baby sausage links... snd rye crackers. Tastes good... healthy for you.

Sonetines, when feeding them something they hadn't eaten before, I ate a bit of it, and let them know how good it tasted, to prove to them that it was okay to eat.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Well, that's one way to get your kids to eat their food. My baby nephew just gets excited about food like "ooo give it to me!" LOL

[NathanDavis]

I have tried them a bit...

one of my exes loved that stuff... lmfao

so, whenever I randomly wanted to make her day, I would get them a couple of these Gerber baby food

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Aw! That's so cute! 💖

[IslaTheWitch]

I'm not sure about healthier. Because most of my food is prepared at home. But when I'm in the city and have no time to eat something "normal" I buy baby fruit snacks lol

[FunkyMonkee]

Sure. Nothing wrong with that, especially for people who can't take eating real fruits and veggies. At least they get the same thing from eating baby food that you get from the actual food. Problem is, they're SO FUCKING EXPENSIVE!!

[BoopBoopBeep]

That's something I carry with me on long races to keep my blood sugar up

[BlissfullyCurSed]

Mushy, smelly, weird stuff... no, but biscuits for babies are okay at least more palatable.

[Nikki1989]

I tried a banana one once, that was kinda tasty.

[DARKCLOUD1945X]

love Zwieback [ think that is how it is spelled] if you can find them and still love Greber baby peas. I know I am not normal, but I never said I was. LOL

[Metapigs]

I had mouth surgery one time and had to- I personally did not enjoy it. I like solid food not mush lol

[PBandJ_Nerd]

It's not your favorite texture.

[Andi_Fem]

Yes, I would and do. Sometimes I am in the mood and go to the store and get some Gerbers, fruit, veggies or meats, for a snack.

[Anonymous]

Only if I was starving to death and it was all that was left to eat.

[Fireguy17]

I don't think so, unless it was some fruit.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

The fruity ones is always good. Kind of like eating applesauce, except smoother.

[Fireguy17]

ahhhh.

[exitseven]

I used to like Apple Betty.

[sheikalana]

Yes! I've eaten baby food.

[Iron_Man]

Only when I was a baby

[KittygosMeoWW]

I’ve eaten some of it lol

[LavLavLuv]

Sure lol I like baby biscuit 😂🙃

[nawtee_me]

I have had the applesauce before

[RavVid]

Yeah why not?

[eagle1951]
