It’s time to pass the strained peaches or maybe the junior green beans. The 22nd annual National Baby Food Festival is under way today in Fremont, Michigan, and through Saturday some 100,000 people will enjoy top-ranked entertainment as well as baby food eating contests by adults and toddler races. Today in the U.S., there are more than 4 million babies being cradled or held in parents’ laps for their feedings. More than 12 million others aged 1 through 3 have graduated to high chairs and are probably insisting on feeding themselves. Companies specializing in making baby foods generate $9 billion in sales annually.
