so too much damn baby food?
more like eating more processed food. and I mean like 'gone through a cooking process' kind of way. We do a lot more now than just burn our meat and eat veggies raw to get nutrients. we simply just don't need to work our jaws so hard to get what we need
if only my wisdom teeth got the memo :+:
Oh mine got the memo. They lay peacefully, horizontally in my jaw, like little Saddam Husseins until they decided they wanted to visit other parts of my jaw and make friends along the way.
I recall also reading about people in Australia and some other places with diets consisting of harder food for developing babies/toodlers having better jaw/teeth ratios and straighter teeth despite no regular access to a dentist, which kind of corroborates the findings.
Should we be giving our toddlers bones to chew on?
For real though, what about people who have gaps in their teeth? Did they have too much hard food?
