Babies Don’t Want Meat

Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine President Dr. Neal Barnard appeared on “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore” on November 1, 2010 claiming in a story that “babies don’t want meat” and will simply “spit it out” if parents attempt to feed it to them. This bold statement set off such a firestorm of responses from listeners that they began sending in photos of their babies not just eating meat, but enjoying it. This video shares that portion of the interview with Dr. Barnard along with having a little fun with all those wonderful babies eating meat pics! ENJOY!

Babies don’t like meat they are trained to eat it

I did love my meat but made a change due to health reasons. I went from eating meat each night (a slab of rump at BBQ’s) to now eating meat size & thickness as the palm of my hand weekly. I for one am feeling so much better for doing so, don’t miss the change and have less cravings. Substituting sugar and going from 3 teaspoons to none, no more soft drinks or cordial. My health is improving. I don’t miss that either I have a mouth full of crowns to prove just how bad sugar was for me.

I was given a scrip and told I’d need to take high blood pressure tablets for the rest of my life. I was obese + pre-diabetic. It woke me up. I got this way because of what I ate. I heard Dr. Barnard invite the public to a free talk on reversing diabetes. I’m happy to say my body is starting to heal itself. I lost 10 kilos and not on blood pressure tablets. I’m in process of eating more vegetables/beans/fruits/nuts/seeds and I for one am thankful for Dr Barnard’s well researched advice.

I was getting more and more pissed off until the 30 second mark. As an experienced parent I can only laughably and angrily disagree with his summation that all babies act the same way towards meat, because my baby fuckin’ loves to eat dead animals.

@vitolibido We are not Cows. And seriously, think about that for a second. Why do cows produce milk? for their offspring. Cows do drink milk.

The idea that vegetarians are less likely to have cancer is false. Cancer is now being shown to be more genetics caused than anything else. In other words, if you eat organic vegan every day, drink only pure water, workout regularly, if your genetics say you are going to get cancer, all those “good” habits will do diddly squat to prevent you getting cancer. I have tried the traditional “low” fat approach only to find myself failing miserably.

@mikek241 You’d be better off feeding meat to a baby first, than feeding them grain cereal first. I wish I’d known that when I first introduced my kids to solids. Giving them cereal gives them too much of a taste for grain, and grain’s the least nutritionally beneficial of the so-called “food groups” we eat today. Meat’s a way better source of B vitamins, vegetables are a way better source of fiber, and there’s no dietary requirement for starch.

Does Neal Barnard even have kids? Babies spit *everything* out. In the beginning it’s tongue-thrust reflex; later on it’s their way of trying to establish control over the feeding session. A lot of that spitting is silly parents trying to feed them solids too young. I waited til my daughter was nine or ten months old before introducing them and she did fine.

@m0rbusPolytox If you’re eating organ meat, you can eat nothing but animal and you will get all your nutritional needs met. Whoever told you organs were unhealthy was a moron. You can even get vitamin C from adrenal glands if you don’t cook them at high heat in water. And your body doesn’t have to process any of it specially to get the minerals out of it or put proteins together. It’s all there ready to go. P.S., Sugar feeds cancer. How much sugar do you find in meat?

aside from making a good point.. those are some adorable ass kids!
MaxKon on Tue, 13th Sep 2011 1:23 am
Lol, babies will eat anything from an animal. It’s plant based foods that are hard to feed them.

@stinkeroftheyear
this is bullshit. canceroginity has still be to proven! the existing studies aren’t really reliable, at least not enough.
also it’s always the amount of meat, that decides wheter a food is healthy or contrawise.
most ORGANS are VERY unhealthy – e.g. lungs and kidneys – technically these parts are simply INEDIBLE, brackish! they are often full of heavy metals, pollutants, hazardous and harmful substances.
still not taken to account-their terrible taste and shitty looks.

We are designed to eat meat too, hence ‘canine’ teeth…But I think it’ can’t be good to give a baby meat before all their teeth are out, especially the canine teeth!

Bull shit – my kids eat everything but if they could decide on their own diet they would stuff their mouth with candy and fizzy pop – babies are dumb – we know best.

Babies will quite happily eat chocolate, ice cream, raw sugar, honey and jam. Are they good food options for baby then? Hell I have seen babies try to eat dog shit. Here is a fucking clue: Letting baby eat what ever it wants does not a great parent make.

AAHHH!!! MY MOM HAS THIS GUYS BOOK!

Meat isn’t the problem…it is muscle meat that is carcinogenic. Organ meats are different. I don’t know why people lump all meat in one category -_____-
