George

Remember my George Clooney blog? Coffee-substitutes just are fake, even with George as a bonus. Infants can have their own George now: a fake-milk-machine á la Nespresso. Nestle proofs to keep his tricky ways while growing older and to not have lost his precious art of deception. The machine costs more than the most fancy Senseo and the price-a-piece of the capsules buys you liters of cow’s milk. A thing that expensive must be very good, right? Right? Wrong. This machine mixes a certain amount of powdered infant food substitute with water at body temperature. Powdered milk is (inherently to the production process) not sterile and always contains more or less amounts of dangerous and very dangerous pathogens. Only preparing it with water at at least 70 degrees Celcius will prevent children from infection with these bugs. And then: those little tubes for milk and diluted powder to be transported out of the machine. Ever tried to cleanse the milk reservoirs and tubes of a coffee machine with built-in cappuccino device? Hardly possible. I imagine baby’s George to have the same problem. More ways for bacterial infection, not to even start thinking of the mold. Nah, there really is only 1 avanced milk making and delivery system for babies: mom’s own bossom.
