In 1928, Gerber held a contest to find a face to represent a baby-food- advertising campaign. Artist Dorothy Hope Smith entered her simple charcoal sketch of a tousle-haired, bright-eyed cherub of a baby with endearing pursed lips. She won. Dorothy just turned ninety-five and is still going strong.
Most of us either ate some of that Gerber product from that well-known jar or forced it on our kids. That’s how we started out, but no one has a desire to go back to that.
The Bible discusses the change from the food of infants to the more mature food of adults.
as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby,
However, the time comes when we have to exchange the baby food for the real thing.
Hebrews 5:12-13
For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food.
For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe.
Get away from the mashed carrots and sink your molars into a steak.
