Operation Don’t Chew (ODC) is a non-profit that proposes to help those persons who wish to use an alternative methods to pre-mastication of foods for their babies/toddlers. ODC proposes to collect blenders or any other kitchen utensil that can puree food (food processors, grinders, etc.) for mothers or caregivers to use during the weaning period instead of pre- masticating the foods.
