So like when a bird regurgitates for their young.

I have a parrot and sometimes he attempts to feed me from his crop storage, it's gross.

We're pretty sure that humans chewed food for their children before blenders and packaged baby food

Some even assume children were born before there were hospitals and doctors around, crazy take, I know.

Whole foods
