Guest guest Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Hi Bee, this question is to know what type of milk is best to give to my 2 year old grandaughter. She was on the diet at 5 months of age and responded beautifully from the recommendations for her age. My daughter is pretty strict with her, unfortunately the daddy isn't. So I ask, if her father gives her milk, what kind is best, 2% milk or whole milk, or is there something better? We're trying to keep my granddaugther's health as well as we can. Oh, by the way at 18 months of age she would only ask for meat and avocados wherever they ate. The waitresses and their friends wood give a look of what's up with this child. Her desire for meat is because of your healing diet. I do not know of any other child her age that love meat so young. We are quite proud that she eats healthy most of the time. Thank you so much, you are a great lady and I appreciate your unselfishness. Angie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is because the higher the butter fat content (M.F.% on the label) the more it helps us digest the proteins and lactose/sugar in dairy products. Also the higher the butter fat content the lower the lactose/sugars that are most difficult for Humans to digest. However, whole milk available today will not be as high in butter fat due to what the cows are fed. Grass-fed cows will produce more butter fat. Whole milk is better than 2%, etc., but depending upon the source, it will be healthier to add 10% cream (half & half) to increase the butter fat content. However, I haven't thought about how much to add, since that means doing some calculations. Maybe you can figure that out. That's wonderful your granddaughter loves meat because of my program. I am tickled to hear that! All the best, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 I am new to the group and hope to be able to attend some of these. Sadly we are in Ren Fest season so this weekend was out and Sept 10th is as well. Hope to be able to make some future ones though.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Great question Yael, one that most of us have as well. Trouble is, no one can overtly offer raw milk right now, the legal atmosphere against raw milk farmers has never been nastier than the current situation. Everything is frozen into a lock-down situation right now until we get a change. It's awful. We can, however, steer you towards the next best thing, and it's good, that being certified organic, grade A, unhomogenized, lightly-pateurized wholesome milk. That would primarily be Castle Rock Creamery and Cedar Summit Farms. Always get whole milk (and cream and butter) and always take some for making your own yogurt and kefir. That gets some life back into it (not that it's completely dead). We are currently in the process of setting up a good route for people to get their CRC milk direct to a (fully-legal) drop site bypassing the store mark-ups and issues. Stay tuned for breaking news on that development. To speed up the time it takes to get our raw milk flowing again, please join the Farm to Consumer Legal Defense Fund, and, if you can, join the Raw Milk Freedom Riders on December 8th. That's what it will take! Will Winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 As manager of Freedom Farms Coop, I can say that we connect families with local farm resources. We do not buy or sell fresh, 100% grass-fed dairy products, but we do help you connect with high quality sources of a variety of these local healthy foods. The FDA and MN doa continue to harass any sign of raw milk in this state, but they cannot keep us from promoting healthy food. Period. Most on this forum know how important it is to have life in your food. We must decide to exercise our right to promote the information that supports sustainable food production. Local family farms count on it and growing families (knowledgeable) demand it. While our food club is private, this movement toward better health is community based and needs to be shared with all that we care for. Be well, Alvin > > Thanks, but I can't drink pasteurized milk!
