[quote=Anonymous]Because the child is old enough to eat solid or semi-solid food. Because it's usually a mix of favorable and unfavorable flavors, so the child never gets used to a single flavor. Because the child doesn't get a chance to explore different textures. Because the parents want to avoid as much plastic as possible. Because the parents want to provide as little processed food as possible (including homemade purees instead of lightly steamed or raw food). Because the child needs to get used to using tableware and dishes. Because the child needs to get used to taking their time to eat instead of sucking down calories in 30 seconds. Because the child needs to get used to eating their food, instead of drinking their food. Because purees have the fiber broken down more, which can increase the odds of constipation. Etc. Btw, I'm fine with occasional purees, but I do understand the multitude of reasons that a parent would choose to limit them.[/quote]
