In Japan, it is illegal for a juice company to use REAL FRUIT in the packaging art of juice if it is not 100%. A rule of thumb in Japan is, the more cartoon a fruit/veggie looks on the packaging, the more processed or unreal it is.

I’m raising a baby in Japan…none of the packaging includes how much sugar is in the product. It’s crazy. And always super sweet…so I ended up going to these kinds of snacks talked about in this video…turns out none of these are good. But thankfully my daughter as a toddler has a varied diet at daycare and we eat a lot of veggies at home.

It's actually more detailed than that: if a juice beverage contains less than 5% actual fruit juice, you cannot show real fruit on the packaging (has to be cartoon or other styles like you said); if it contains more than 5% but less than 100%, you can have real images of fruit on the packaging, but no cross-sectional views (e.g. an orange that is cut open). If it's 100% juice, then you can have cut-open fruits on the packaging. I have heard this for years and it's really interesting that I can go into a store and just look for the most appealing fruit juice packaging (something like a cut-open peach that is dripping juice) and actually get a bottle of authentic fruit juice without going through every small text on the front that tells you the juice percentage 🤣

I like how, at the end of the video, she addressed reality. Like many parents dont have the time to cook and strain peas and puree fruits and veg. Although i have just learned you dont really need to do all of that. You can just choose soft fruits and veg or cooked options and smush them with a fork and cut things into managable peices. Im glad she made it clear that parents aren't totally to blame and that giving your kids a pouch or cereal may be the best option for you and your family. I appreciate that.

As a pediatrician, I agree with this video! Save some money and feed your babies breast milk if you are lactating. If you are not producing milk then don't feel guilty to use formula. Start introducing foods at 6 months with veggies first, meats second and lastly fruits. And remember that you can cook and mushed the food instead of buying baby foods, just like people used to it in the past.

I think my older sister was a baby then and he saw so many things that severely disturbed him that he never allowed my mom to buy it, which she didn't mind because it's cheaper to just make at home and mush it up themselves. So that's what they did for the 3 of us younger kids.

About a decade later, when my nieces were babies I ONCE did the same and could barely eat a few spoons of it. I was so sweet. Couldn't believe the difference. Most of their food was made out home, mashing stuff up but every now and then we had a few jars for emergencies or in case of lack of time, but after that I just thought better not to give them any store baby food. Blech.

As working parents myself, I understand life is so busy. But when kids are baby, they have very little opinion, you can steam and blend their baby food. That was what I did, my son ate fresh blended fruits and veggies. When he turn 3, it been a struggle to get him to eat the way I hoped, I settled for 30 % homemade. He is 6 now, I managed to increased it to 70% fresh made home food. Kids just need training for a good food habits. It also related to family eating habits. I don’t eat candy myself and so he doesn’t. I don’t forbid candy. He just doesn’t. Even school give it to him, he eat very tiny of it.

I did too, still ended up with a fussy eater, currently 3 years old. I used pouches a bit when we were traveling overseas, and bought one jar of baby food at some point, and there were these oat biscuits he used to have, but apart from that it was all home cooking. I used to make him all these purees and little pikelets, put all the different fish categories in the food, and all the nuts, to cover all the allergens. He would eat a whole punnet of strawberries, he'd eat oranges and blueberries, bananas, mango, peas, and then gradually he just stopped eating all these. Mostly just eating rice and quinoa and other grains, and little bits of other things like eggs, but it's taking a real effort to get him to eat whole fruits and vegetables again. He doesn't like anything with 'bits' in it so I can't really do hidden veg. He did eat a whole bunch of broccoli today, so we're getting there, but it's taking a lot of tries and not much success. There are a lot of fussy eaters on his dad's side of the family, so I was always a little concerned this might happen. I think I need some help though.

When my baby was little, I made my own baby food. I would buy the frozen veggie steamer bags and cook them in the microwave before blending them up. I would freeze the purees in oversized ice cube trays I bought at the dollar tree and then store them in the freezer in ziploc bags. It was so easy to pop two or three out and microwave them for a minute. It made it easy to mix new combinations, too. Also considerably cheaper.

I only use pouches when traveling, and often I make my own. We opted to do "baby led weaning" around 6 months, instead of traditional purees, and baby was eating the same dinners as us by 8 months old. It has been a lifesaver for traveling knowing I can get something simple and nutritious for myself and share it with my baby. She's a toddler now and eats literally anything, even preferring plain Greek yogurt to sweetened junk family would buy her.

While those are challenges, they are not insurmountable challenges. There have always been poor mothers and will always be poor mothers. To say, "Oh, I don't earn enough and am too tired and don't have the time" is just not an appropriate excuse when explaining to your child why they have the health complications, from cavities to diabetes. It's just not.

As a home canner I also get frustrated because so many baby canners are so scared to do anything other than what's in their book. They claim canning so many things are dangerous-bread, rice, noodles, cheesecake, bananas, bacon, butter, cheese... don't go canning your own recipe of soup now. 😂 I've canned most of these and if I haven't another canner has, and eaten them after sitting on the shelf for 3+ years. We're all still alive and well. But the FDA won't even research into home canning methods anymore because it isn't profitable, and the lids and jars they make these days are pathetic and thin. Making your own food is terrifying to them.

Europe takes food safety and quality SERIOUSLY, and you're nonetheless able to buy things like raw milk cheese. You can get raw egg products because the hens are vaccinated and salmonella isn't an issue. And if you want to do home canning etc you can go to your national regulatory agency and they will provide you with safety information on how to can and preserve the safest way at your own home! Because these agencies primary function is to protect the citizens against large corporation exploiting and trickery, and also to perform research with public money for the benefit of citizens and to provide all sorts of useful information to the citizens.

I have just four words for you: Learn how to cook! We cook real food at home, and our children always ate what we ate. A roast beef dinner, for example (meat, potatoes, carrots), went through a little hand-cranked grinder to produce a creamy meal that could be spoon fed. We even made sure to include a hint of horseradish, the condiment we were using. Our children grew up being happy and willing to eat most anything. Today they are normal, fit young adults who love to cook for themselves. My wife visited her son and his family last year, and wanted to make dinner for them. They had NO basic ingredients in the house. No potatoes, no onions, no fresh green vegetables, nothing! The grandchildren are getting fat on the convenience 'food' they are shoveling in.

I started to like this discussion, because I started learning about the composition of packaged food in my country in an autodidactic manner. In my country, awareness about health is starting to increase even though not everyone is doing the same. I still remember where my grandmother gave bottled tea to one of her toddlers (a relative's child). I almost wanted to scream when I saw it, but thankfully the child's parents stopped it. But unfortunately, in my area several children have consumed packaged food even from an early age (4-5 years old). It was the same as what I consumed when I was little and when I was older, I began to realize how dire the situation was. I'm still learning and I hope more people will learn about this.

The truth is Humans have become lazy when it comes to making and eating real food! It takes 15 mins of your time in the day to make fresh baby food every day … I don’t see the need to have any store bought baby food ever … and I never did while raising my own ….

What are some good healthy recipes for making baby food? I don’t plan on buying any of this fake processed crap for my baby.

​@@robh1961 any food you can think of, cook till soft enough, then blend it, bonus points if it's from the same ingredients you're making for yourself for dinner, like making potatoes/rice/carrots/chicken/fish, set some aside and blend it together for baby. Or can just eat your food, chew it up, then feed the mush to your baby like a bird lol, many cultures in the past and present still do this, sounds pretty easy if you don't think it's gross, it's practical for sure. Or you can just Google some actual recipes for inspiration and freeze the home made baby food in serving sizes cubes. To each their own.

We made our own baby food for the first kiddo and it was very easy! He had lentil daal, silken tofu, homemade fruit purées, and all sorts of spices and flavors. He’s our best eater by far and super open to trying new things. We did baby-led weaning with the rest, so less flavor in their food and more just giving them whole steamed fruits and veggies when they were toddlers. While all my kids have strong food preferences / things they won’t eat to varying degrees, they will all eat and enjoy whole veggies and fruits. They are a bit less adventurous than my oldest though! When we bought puffs or those pouches or animal crackers, that was all a treat or for convenience when traveling. People should use those as occasional convenience items and really focus on building their kids’ palettes!

I feed my son happy baby pouches. First of all, the sugar content within the pouch does not come from ADDED sugars. It comes from the natural sugars in the fruits. Second, if you are feeding this to your toddler as PART of a meal and not the meal itself, then I don’t see the problem. Do kids eat too much sugar these days, yes. Do kids eat too much processed food these days, yes. But feeding a child is hard and this video does not give enough credit to mothers (and parents in general) for how difficult raising a child is, which in turn comes off as parent shaming rather than helpful.

The WHO say natural sugar from fruits and vegetables shouldn’t be counted towards daily intake for babies. Added sugar, a no-go. But I’m not going to stress about there being pear in with the green beans as long as there is no extra sugar added in.

My parents never bought baby food for us. Whatever they ate, we ate, which was usually meat, potatoes and a vegetable. They just threw it in the blender. Also look at all that plastic packaging baby food is in now, so don't forget the daily dose of microplastics.
