Killimunati:

Thank you for posting this article, it appeared on Yahoo, I said to myself that I will copy and print this later and then it was gone.

So nice to see that you posted it here.

How are you doing? I remeber that a few months ago you had some questions about eating.

>> red meat and processed meats have a higher risk

Not really meat once its processed now is it?
We already know all about the health cost of modern processing...

I think all studies regarding meat eating is based on COOKED meat eating.

They should do a study on ALL RAW meat eating (eggs, sashimi, beef) and try to prove or disprove Aajonus Vonderplanitz' work.

I doubt anyone will pay for such a study or if it is ever feasible as not many people can actually live 100% raw.

Hi,

As Trapper once said, "It's the cook in the kitchen that does the killing in the family." (Or something like that!)

I feed my 2.5 y.o. twins raw meat and they love it. For breakfast they had some grassfed ground beef with a vinaigrette and thought it was terrific. As long as I know where it comes from I am fine with that. They get raw milk, raw meat, and of course lots uncooked eggs. What they do not get is sick.

We have followed the Weston A. Price guidelines and philosophy to the best of our ability and budget and I do think it has resulted in pretty healthy little girls. Remember, those meat-tearing teeth are the first to come in for infants. Some of Ann and Merry's first foods were egg yolk and shaved calves kidney/liver. Sounds gross, but it's what children's brains need.

What upsets me the most is when they eat processed cat food! Ugh. I am sure that is like the pet food equivalent of Oscar Meyer weiners. Unfortunately one of our dogs won't eat raw, and our cat doesn't like nice cat food -- he is a strictly Meow Mix kind of guy. They steal his bowl sometimes.

Good nitrate-free, grassfed dogs are available from Polyface and Applegate.

One great goal of mine is to shatter the illusion that anyone has about soy and soy products. You're better off eating commercial sausage than soysage, in my opinion. And I think that people who deprive their infants and children of animal products should be prosecuted for child abuse. I used to work at a primarily vegan store and the veg kids that came in were inevitably the palest and sickest. Please -- do what you want to yourself, but don't inflict this on growing bodies and minds...

We've got to die of something one day am I correct? No one lives forever in this bad world.

Here is something they dont tell you about. sugar, both natural and artifical weakens your immune system by upto 50% for upto 5 hours making you more susceptible to diseases and infection. keep that in mind whenever you hear about supperfoods or the benefits of fruit and juicing fruit.

what this means is that if you are eating carbs all day, such as fruit and fruit juice you are effectively halving the effectiveness of your immune system (this is coming from someone who used to be a strict veggie).

have a look at this study for more info
