Gabrielle Palmer’s groundbreaking book The Politics of Breastfeeding highlighted the controversies surrounding the aggressive promotion of breastmilk substitutes. She now turns her attention to complementary feeding – the first foods that a child eats besides milk.
For most of human existence, children went without industrially processed foods and branded food products. Can we applaud the progress of the way children are fed today? In our unequal world one billion people risk their health through overconsumption while two billion people are hungry. The health problems of both groups start in early childhood.
The power and influence of the food industry has increased dramatically in recent decades. Seductive and often unethical modern marketing methods have led to the promotion of unsuitable, unnecessary and sometimes harmful baby foods. Yet not all industrially processed foods are bad and not all ‘natural’ foods are good. Both poor and rich children may be inappropriately fed.
What lessons can we learn from history? How do cultural and religious beliefs influence the choice of food? Can government initiatives have any effect? How can we provide good nutrition for all infants? This brief, compassionate and thought-provoking new book will be of interest to anyone who is curious about the world, its children and their nutrition, and will stimulate discussion and debate as part of the campaign to create a world where health for all is a true goal

Love this book! It's the complementary (part 2 so to say) of the Politics of Breastfeeding by the same author.It talks about in general the culture of nourishing our kids based on past practices and now. It is an honest of account on how different we perceive as "correct, needed feedings" versus what our ancestors who have fed us.
It gives insight on how with the marketing of milk companies have changed the way parents feed their children.
Note: This book isn't an instructional book on feeding but dives into the comparison and culture of past, present and future.

Complementary Feeding Nutrition Culture and Politics edition by Gabrielle Palmer Health Fitness Dieting eBooks Reviews
Cant go wrong with a great book
This piece adds to our existing understanding of the issues surrounding food security, above and beyond what the Politics of Breastfeeding offered. To often a greater issue of the politics in the global food security for families.
This little book by Gabrielle Palmer is a masterpiece!
I will soon be presenting a lecture to anthropologists and healthcare professionals who are all interested in the new scientific discipline of Darwinian Medicine. The title of the lecture will be, "Better Bites, Better Faces.....and Very Little Need for Braces Nutrition and Oral Health Since the Industrial Revolution" and I will be referencing Gabrielle's material throughout the talk. Industrial processing and marketing of pre-packaged baby foods and infant formulas since the Industrial Revolution(IR) has ultimately led to current high prevalences of chronic and non-communicable 'diseases of civilization (CNCDC) like childhood obesity, pediatric type 2 diabetes and early childhood malocclusion (narrow jaws, retrusive faces and crooked teeth). This is pretty much all resultant from a 'genomic-environmental mismatch'. Because CNCDC are not purely 'genetic', they follow a predictable progression pattern/continuum 1. they are initially 'preventable', even in the presence of a predisposing genotype; 2. they are all essentially 'reversible' if appropriate lifestyle/environmental changes (e.g.,ancestral-type/Paleo infant/early childhood diet) are implemented early in the disease state process; 3.) they are all essentially 'treatable' even when/if beyond the preventable/reversibility phases when appropriate evidence-based interventions are implemented; and, 4. all are potentially 'non-treatable and fatal' if allowed to progress to advanced stages. I think Gabrielle has essentially written a "user's guide" for how to feed a child so as to maximize his/her quality and quantity of life. Along with her "Politics of Breastfeeding", she has bestowed a true blessing upon mankind. Please read these books to assure that your baby will never get beyond the preventable phase of CNCDC...they will help you love your child more effectively.
Happy New Year!
