Random encounter of the kiddy kind

I was out with my parents out today and they wanted to buy some stuff at this grocery shop/medicine hall. I just wandered around and I saw some tins of brown rice/rice/cereal which was actually baby feed. So I picked one up and checked it out: "For ages 1+...Baby's first solid food!". Apparently there are also "3 delicious varieties" to pick from. A few questions ran through my mind: Would a baby even know the difference between brown rice and regular rice? Wouldn't it taste kinda plain and dull 'cos you can't really put in tons of meat and vegetables? Would a baby like to eat such plain gooey stuff, 'cos I wouldn't...

"Hi mister, so how old is your child?"

It took me a few seconds before I realise that a product salesgirl had crept up behind me, and was actually addressing me. Amazingly, even though my mind went black for a few seconds, I managed to hold back both a mental/physical choke. Composing myself a few seconds later, I replied with a sheepish, "Uh no kids, just looking around" and tried walking away in a seemingly non-embarassed/fazed manner.

  3. Brown rice or regular rice is ok as one of them is a healthier option. But I do notice there are this cereal which has blackcurrent, orange or even strawberry flavour. Looks like baby these days are exposed to these artifical flavour early in their life.
