I'm conflicted on this. As a parent I certainly wouldn't want someone telling me how to care or feed my child. I wouldn't use this method but if Alicia feels this is the best way to feed her child then I see no reason to get into her business, its her right as his mother to do what she feels is necessary to care for her child. I'm sure there are much much worse things people do out there than this
some things should be kept private. This is a prime example of "one of those times"
I found it rather odd and off putting ( but then again the whole child rearing is off putting to me, the idea of chaging a Nappy or a child being sick over me makes me gag...) and would personally not use this method to feed my child if I had one, however as long as it does not harm the child I think there are far worse things to do to a kid.
Pre chewing food for Babies ( Alicia Silverstone is not regurgitating just pre chewing it) is very common in many tribes around the world. It has been used as a method of making food more digestible for infants since the dawn of time and is still used.
Not my cup of tea but not exactly a unique way to feed a Baby either. I don't get Vegans but I actually liked her blog ,she seems like a down to earth decent person trying to do what she believes is right and I can't really argue with that, even if she named her Child Bear ! I would take a well intentioned nice human being actress over one of those spoilt celebrity brats who only think of shopping , drinking , drugs and bling any day.
When I saw the title I first thought she was feeding a Bear Cub from her mouth which would be pretty weird indeed.

When you post it for the public to see then it becomes public business.
While I have no wish to eat out of anybody's mouth myself, it doesn't bother me one bit. As somebody else said, prechewing has been done around the world, so even if not normal here, she's not totally out in left field. Personally, I'd use the food processor, but the kid looks healthy, happy, and loved, and that's what's most important.
Generally I ignore anything that celebrities say or do, and this is just one more reason, atop a mountain of other reasons.
