         14 . A device for dispensing a nutritive source, said device comprising:
 a push-pull cap comprising a flow chamber and a straw seat and configured for being attached to a portion of a straw disposed at least partially within a collapsible pouch, said push-pull cap comprising:
 an inner piece containing said flow chamber and configured for receiving a culinary mix from said collapsible pouch when said collapsible pouch is squeezed, wherein said culinary mix comprises a blended food; 
 an outer piece axially slidably engaged with an outer diameter of said inner piece, said outer piece configured for, upon sliding over said outer surface of said inner piece, enabling said push-pull cap to achieve one of an open position and a closed position, wherein when said collapsible pouch is squeezed said open position enables a dispensation of received culinary mix through a dispensation passageway disposed at an upper end of said outer piece. 
   
     
     
         15 . The device of  claim 14 , wherein said push-pull cap is further configured for being removably attached to said portion of said straw. 
     
     
         16 . The device of  claim 14 , wherein said blended food comprises:
 a thick liquid suspension of food that is finely ground.   
     
     
         17 . The device of  claim 16 , wherein said blended food further comprises:
 at least one edible piece of food being of a different state from and a larger state than a state of said thick liquid suspension of food that is said finely ground.   
     
     
         18 . The device of  claim 14 , wherein said inner piece attachment mechanism comprises:
