  Myself, I tend to agree with the FDA guy who said "Who'd feed Nutrasweet
(or Koolaid) to an infant?"  but that's because my wife is compulsive about
infant nutrition.  It seems to me that according to Medical Science one should
assume a food is BAD for infants unless explicitly informed otherwise.
  I think it's unrealistic to mark ALL food that is dangerous to infants as
such since most things are.  Just about everything is too sweet, salty, or
tough for a baby to eat except some cereals, juices, and fruits.
  On the other hand, my wife admits she knows of legions of people who feed
their infants anything: chocolate bars, cola, etc.  I don't think it's
realistic to print the Academy of Pediatrics recommendations on every
food wrapper in the country, though.
