It’s not that simple,<br />
however, for people who have dental or medical conditions<br />
that make it difficult, if not impossible, to chew, swallow,<br />
or digest food like the rest of us. This presents various<br />
complications for these individuals. At the top of the list is<br />
malnourishment and its effects. Feeding tubes, for example,<br />
can clog up and not easily deliver the sustenance a growing<br />
child (or an adult) requires.<br />
So, what’s a parent to do? Julie and Tony Bombacino found<br />
themselves in this predicament. Like many parents, when they<br />
weren’t satisfied with the solutions for their son, they came up<br />
with their own, which they named Real Food Blends.<br />
Real Food Blends,<br />
as the name says, is blended with real foods, without corn<br />
syrup, preservatives, fillers, or a need for refrigeration.<br />
The company provides 6 meal varieties for children and<br />
adults. Five of the 6 meal choices include a form of meat or<br />
dairy (namely beef, turkey, chicken, fish, eggs), as well as a<br />
vegetable and/or fruit (peaches, carrots, squash, apples,<br />
zucchini, green beans), and a starch (potatoes, oats, brown<br />
rice). One meal choice is vegetarian (quinona, kale, hemp).<br />
The product is covered by many insurance plans, and is<br />
available without a prescription.<br />
