That article links to a Google book which is well worth reading if only to prove that the food police have always been with us.
That wouldn't be so interesting in and of itself, except that I found this blog that posts NYTimes stories from 100 years ago, and sure enough, at least one of the erstwhile public health articles posted talks about people giving pickles to babies!

That's a really good blog, and another one I want the feed to on LJ.
