The other day, I decided to pick myself up out of my grueling, bubbling puddle of sorrow, and go to the farmer's market. I forced myself to do it, and it felt good. I picked out a lovely array of bright fruits and veggies, and a "sweet, nutty, flavorful grain babies will love" called millet.
I ended up with:
strawberries
bananas
kale
carrots
yams
kiwi
butternut squash
soy milk
asian pears
apple juice (as a sweetner)
millet
I spent the next 2 hours carefully boiling to a soft consistency, blending to a baby-liquid, pouring into ice cube trays, mixing into baby food jars, and stiring yummy ingredients together such as strawberry-banana.
So far, Ileigh has spit out each one of my carefully hand made concoctions.
And I have one thing to say..
~BRAT~
Now, since we all know I couldn't possibly have a brat for a child, I am now imagining the baby food companies, standing over vats of baby carrots, chanting encantations over their mixes:
fee fie yummy yummy yum
I declare all babies feel good in their tum
upon these carrots I put no good
synthetic ingredients I know I should
to keep babies wanting... to make them cry
MORE!!!
And when others try to make them
it will end up on the floor.
HA HAAAAAAAAA HA HAAAA (wicked cackles can be heard throughout the Gerber factory)

At least she spits it out before swallowing and making her own brew with it in her tummy and puking it up all over the place. I think the real truth about the baby food companies is that they have brainwashed us and our babies into believing that they have to eat food that is jar shaped. Where are you going to find jar shaped food in nature?
