Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 This sure is the right place. We just got back from visiting my in-laws out of state. It took some driving but I managed to find raw milk and pastured eggs for my 21 month old. The in-laws didn't say much about our strange eating habits but the " what kind of lunatic did my son/brother marry " look in their eyes was unmistakable. I just kept my mouth shut and ignored them. We don't see them that often.

Hi Personally I choose to buy a good chocolate cake from a local French bakery for the birthday. I am just concerned they are using real butter, eggs, etc instead of the artificial crap like trans fat. I don't think there is a problem with a cake once in a while. Just about every meal we eat is good, the body can handle a little junk just fine. I give them real shortbread or other butter cookie or dark chocolate too. I will also make raw ice cream (raw cream, raw egg, raw honey) and they love home made whipped cream topped with berries. Also for the birthday I made honey butter coated nuts and popcorn. The other kids who are used to pop tarts and hostess fruit pies don't care for them so much, but my kids love them. I think these foods that are not the best thing in the world can be enjoyed in moderation. Besides, I don't think nutrition is the end all to achieve good health. I have seen parents restrict their children so much I think any gain in physical health might be negated by some emotional damage. regards, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 We've made Gaby a " healthy " cake for two years now, and each time, it was just something to stick the candles in. I'm freezing some strawberry sorbet this year w/ some carob type stuff on it. take care, Michele >From: katja <katja@...> >Reply- > >Subject: Re: Child Nutrition >Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2004 11:57:03 -0500 > >hahahaha! >you're in the right place. >i think when my daughter turns one, i'm going to get a lovely red-waxed >balls of local raw milk gouda cheese and stick a candle in it! > >how old is your son/daughter? > >At 11:46 AM 1/27/2004, you wrote: > >HI all- > > > >I just joined this list to learn more about raising a child to eat > >heathy.

I was hoping that by really cutting sugar out of my sons diet his sugar addiction would break. It did not. he still really craves it. I bet if I started feeding him well from day one it would not have happened. I think it's already been hard wired into his brain and not sure it would ever go away now. So after i realized it won't work we do enjoy cookies or cakes or candies every once in a while, but always good top quality " traditional " kind. like u wer saying, I now hope he too will at least develop a taste for " good " junk, so he would turn up his nose as something like a ho ho or such. maybe some day he will be able to enjoy the simplicity of a classic shortbread and not need it chocolate caramel frosting coated. -joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Nanette, Check out http://www.realmilk.com/why.html for more info about raw milk, especially http://www.realmilk.com/milkcure.html - " Milk Cures Many Diseases " and http://www.realmilk.com/update_fall01_safebabies.html " IS RAW MILK SAFE FOR BABIES? " I doubt the raw milk was the problem. Peace, Kris , gardening in harmony with nature in northwest Ohio http://home.woh.rr.com/billkrisjohnson/ On the Fallacy of our Cheap Food policies: http://home.woh.rr.com/billkrisjohnson/Kris/Justice.htm Child Nutrition Hello - I just joined the group - I was introduced to the Weston Price Foundation about 6 months ago - purchased Sally FAllon's NT book, and have recently started integrating/changing my family's eating habits. I gave my children raw milk for the first time two weeks ago. It was so creamy and delicious. (Raw milk sold for pet consumption only...illegal in Tennessee to sell raw milk for anything else.) Anyway, five days after drinking the raw milk, my oldest son ran a high fever (103.5) for a couple days. Of course, I blamed myself for giving him raw milk and immediately jumped on the internet to find what could be the cause - I came up with brucellosis - undulant fever. The farm that supplied the milk if highly reputable, they are small, have only one dairy cow, and drink the milk at their own tiable. So......could someone please allay my fears. Could it really be brucellosis or was it just a freak fever with no other symptoms? looking forward to sharing with y'all Nanette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it really be brucellosis or was it >just a freak fever with no other symptoms? > nanette, i certainly can't say for sure but i'd seriously doubt your child got undulant fever. if i'm not mistaken it's quite uncommon. many of us here and around the country drink raw milk routinely without any problems. there is indeed a lot of fear-mongering about raw milk in the press and from the gov't as well as on the Net. that's not to say that you *can't* get ill from raw milk - it can happen if your source is low quality. really, quality is the main issue - i can't see any possible way to get sick from high quality raw milk. know your source - talk to the farmer - ask how often he runs mastitis testing, ask what the cows eat, look at the cows and see if they look healthy. if they eat a diet of primarily grass, if they are healthy then you needn't worry. the mastitis testing is just extra insurance, but if the cows are healthy they will be far more resistant to it.

This reminds me, when I first got raw milk in the house I was the only one in my family drinking it for over a month to make sure it was safe cause i was brainwashed too. my in laws found out about the raw milk who are both doctors, and the kids got sick before i even gave them some. of course what did the blame the sickness on, the milk! yes, even the mere presense of raw milk in the house can cause sickness. no wonder it has to be outlawed!
