Children thrive on the raw food diet

To Steve O. in response to your post of 16 Feb:

I read your post and was fascinated. I have been on a raw diet for almost 12 years, 99% raw, I call it more instinctive eating, RAF [see Raw animal food diets in Wikipedia], sometimes vegan, just meat, whatever works! My wife is also on a raw diet and she has been for about 2 years. Our children Kayla who is 3 and Adam who is 2 are both raw, meat, eggs, chicken, fish, some dairy, veggies and fruit as well. Kayla started at about 11 months, Adam-since he was born. They both started with only raw breast milk for the first few months of life. My wife is pregnant now, full term, and due any day! We wouldn't do anything else! I would like to email or talk with you and compare notes, I am sure we could learn a lot from each other!

Maria, President Obama has previously taken a stand regarding raw milk

Hi,
During my lobbying campaign for raw milk in US House and Senate in June and July, 2007, I received a letter from Obama in July 2007 stating that he was aware of the nutritional value of raw milk but that it was a bacterial health hazard. Obviously, he is brainwashed about the bacteria theory. The consequences are: process and poison food so that it is bacteria-free but chemically contaminated and with much less nutritional value.
healthfully,
aajonus

There is a 'slow food movement'

Hi everyone,

I thought this online article below could interest you foodie goodies. I had been wondering what President Obama's perspective on good food is and below is a bit of insight. I wonder if the fight for raw milk will get easier in the long run with this new administration? Any thoughts?

Apparently Obama has some understanding of the value of good food. With the economic downturn, I have been reading that more and more people are turning to vegetable gardening and growing as much of their own food as possible (btw, where could I find the best heritage seeds for cucumbers, tomatoes, celery, herbs, etc?).

The author predicts that the advocacy for good food will also increase since processing food not only ruins food but also uses too much fuel and is one of the contributors of climate change.

Primal Diet: the best way to start your life

I have been on the primal diet for over 11 years, about 90-95% compliant. My wife has also been eating this way for about 5 years and we have two kids, age two and a half and 3 months. Our two and a half year old son was breastfed for a year, and we slowly introduced raw meat (beef, chicken, fish, lamb, buffalo, liver) and raw dairy products into his diet. He is very robust and vibrantly healthy. Sometimes his memory and thinking ability surprise us. My wife taught a Montessori class of preschoolers, so she has good feel for that age group. Our daughter is still breastfeeding, but am looking forward to when she’s ready. It’s the best way to start your life!
