Now I love both but as a kid it was awful. LOL, me too. Whatever food I did not l like, I had no choice, I was forced to eat it. So I would swollow anything I did not like whole. I would cut it up into small enough pieces and swollow it whole.

Hmmm....there's much more safflower in the Volkman's mix. The Alta Loma looks like it has more dried fruit and veg.

I just receive the Alta Loma mix, FAST shipping. George loves it. I've been offering fresh fruits and vegetables daily, but he barely touches them. Maybe he will in time, he has just started eating the Harrison crumbles. Looks like they are both really good mixes.
