My standard response to parents when this issue is raised is to remind them 
that food spoils when left unattended on a shelf for too long, while when 
tended to immediately and prepared fresh it is better and bolder and more 
flavorful.  Then I go on to talk about crying as the baby's only language, 
etc, but this analogy usually gets some "lightbulbs" going in the parents, 
who are usually relieved to hear that the attention they are giving their 
baby is exactly what is needed!
