What is the point of spoons? The pretty grownup had a perfectly acceptable, built-in milk delivery system. I may have complained loudly in the past about the food service around here, there may have been the occasional biting incident, but to abandon six months of tradition for this laughably awkward utensil seems like an overreaction. Spoons require that I hold my mouth open for a seeming eternity for a splash of what they're calling "solid food." Spoons are far too hard and cold for my taste. They are certainly not in my top twenty objects I like to put in my mouth (full disclosure: I put over twenty objects in my mouth yesterday).
