Do You Know What's Good For Your Kid?

What is it with us in this society today that makes us want to buy the most expensive goods out there? The hottest clothes, the most efficient machines, and now what some companies claim to be "the best and most nutritional baby food"? Any woman walking into a pharmacy today will be bombarded with images and labels on bottles of baby food claiming that each brand is "more nutritional", "more healthy" and will make your baby grow stronger and bigger than the bottle of baby food beside it! And understandably, these big companies making extravagant claims also slap extravagant prices on their "premium" brands of baby food.

However, the FDA (United States Food and Drug Administration) now has even stricter regulations than they used to. The FDA regulates many sectors of the food and medicine industry, like deciding which drugs are safe for over-the-counter sale and which are not. With recent scares of poisoned dog food and such, the FDA has stepped up their regulations even more to include baby food. This is now known as the Infant Formula Act. This act ensures that all baby food meets strict standards of nutritional requirements while ensuring it is manufactured in a safe and sanitary environment.

What is the significance of this? The fact is that now, all baby foods must meet a certain minimum nutritional and health requirement, meaning that all baby foods, no matter what they claim, are equally as beneficial to your baby! For example a jar of store brand baby food at Wal-Mart can be bought for half the price of another, "premium" brand of baby food while still providing the same level of nutrition, and it's really astonishing how many people are unaware of these regulations on baby food.
