The “Feed” films investigate the various ways parents fed their infants throughout time & cultures. While many cultures solely breast fed until a child is two or three, others supplemented or replaced it with formula. Historically, infants were fed home-made pap, using milk and grain, or once weened, fed with their region’s domesticated mammal’s milk, such as goat, cow, water buffalo, etc., or eventually condensed or powdered milk. With the rise of Industrialization and scientific developments, commercially made formula use rose, with varying health results for the infants. Since then, the “breast is best” vs formula feeding debate rages on, including current formula scarcities, as parents try to feed their children as they have done so throughout time.
This project would not have been possible without the generous help from RISD’s Nature Lab. Please note, the homemade recipes recorded here are not recommended for consumption.
