Hello Alice, regarding burning coal, thats all true. But I think trying to live

allmost exclusively on grains that are " en Grains " (GMO) at every meal, by

the parents and offspring, not to mention the 4lbs of sugar per week, weakens us

that we can't deal with pollutants. Cut out that junk and the body can deal with

the pollution and pathogens much more effectively. ....RP

was wondering how some of you are dealing with the economic downturn re. diet. i

know we've had to go mostly vegetarian (we're both, thank god, able to tolerate

some beans a lot better now...but we're getting quite skinny)...saving money but

worried about future costs. how about you?

Aviva,

In the summer I plant a large garden and we eat a good bit from there

and trade for what we can't grow. That helps reduce our bill quite a

bit. I try to buy organic, but just can't afford it anymore. After the

spring thaw we'll plant a bigger garden. We're talking about starting a

hydroponic garden in our basement for veggies over the winter, but we're

still researching the costs involved in that.

We buy what's in season, and buy in bulk for things like sunflower

seeds, flax seeds, nutritional yeast etc. We eat lots of whatever fruit

is cheap. Lots of bananas because they're never over 67 cents a pound here.

We've moved to a completely raw and (mostly) vegan diet for all of us

I'm feeding 6 kids and 2 adults, and I spend around $1,000 - $1200 each

month on groceries. That sounds like a lot, but if you divide that

number by the number in my family (8) it's roughly $250-$300 a week for

all 8 humans plus 2 dogs and 4 cats. (The animals eat mostly raw meat,

as well) Oh.. I also buy my distilled water out of that, I try to drink

one gallon a day.

I plan out dinners and we stick to the menu. Most days I'll plan

something I know everyone likes, but 2 days a week I try new recipes and

the rule is ... if you don't like it don't eat it - grab veggies or

salad from the fridge. That ensures we aren't eating the same thing all

the time. I also plan the menu so we don't have the same recipe in any

2 week period.. (yes, even favorites) Variety is very important when

you're raising raw kids.

We usually shop once a week, with a list.

We use super foods sparingly. I'd like to use more, but most of them are

expensive and we just can't afford it. We use flax and nutritional yeast

regularly, both are staples around here, we use spirulina occasionally,

usually in smoothies.

I work part time from home, and home school 5 of our 6 kids. Which means

everyone except my husband eats lunch at home. I try to plan lunches

ahead, too, but most of the time lunch around here is " eat what you

want, when you're hungry " The only time scheduled meal is dinner because

I think it's important to get us all around the table at the same time,

but I also want my kids to learn to eat when they're hungry and not

just because it's time to eat. So, many times, everyone but the 3 yr old

chooses and makes their own lunch.

Snacks are usually fruit, and the kids eat snacks whenever they're hungry.

I make corn chips and flax seed crackers myself in my food dehydrator

instead of buying them. Same with things like corn tortillas. We buy

all our veggies fresh except corn, because it's too much trouble for me

to use fresh corn to make chips. Frozen is much easier.

I hope that helps,

Yvette

I hope that helps.

Hi ,

I think what that article referred to was the cumulative effect of toxins on

children sparking neurological disorders. Including, not exclusive to vaccine

mercury. Autism was their major struggle. My question was if the same toxins

also contribute to causing MS.

That " change " web site will make you cry. So many desparate parents with ill

children and no one seeming to care and/or help them. We're living in a toxic

dump.Alice Alley Riner, VA www.photosbyalice.com

I eat organic so yeah, the price increase is really forcing me to be very

selective in what I eat.
