Child coming around

[Guest guest]

Today was a major milestone in my family! We have eaten the SAD

diet all of our lives, and I am now about 75% raw. I am still

cooking meat for my family, but a lot less than before. My goal is

to have the whole family vegan, and mostly raw.

 

My daughter is a picky eater, and has been hard to convince (she's

only 5), but today she came home from Kindergarten and told me that

a classmate's brother is " vegetarian, just like me. " I was SO

happy to hear her say that. She said she doesn't want any more

meat, and that she doesn't really like it any more.

 

She's not ready to give up all of her cooked foods, but she did have

beens, carrots and an apple for dinner. She also had some avocado

and actually liked it! We talked the produce manager into marking

the avocados down to 4/$1, because they were getting VERY ripe. I

bought 8, and 3 other moms grabbed some too. I am really getting to

know the produce manager, and it's bringing surprise benefits. The

other day, he ordered me more grapefruit before I asked, because he

knew I must be running low....

 

I have made a new friend locally who has been vegan for almost 7

years, and is about 70% raw. We are going to take a trip to the

city co-op next week. Can't wait to see what I can get there!

 

Just wanted to share my excitement over my daughter's anouncement.

Getting ready for my second juice fast. Starting on Wednesday, for 5

days. Does anyone out there do the Psyllium and Liquid Bentonite

cleanse? I stocked up, and I'm starting in the morning.

Hi Rhonda,

That's a lovely story. Thankfully, I think there are a few more

vegetarian children around today. It mus tbe hard for them if they are the

only one in their class or school. Maybe just her change in attitude now

will get her more into a healthy way of eating, it must be a load off your

mind.

My grocer is very helpful too, now I'm spending the majority of my weekly

housekeeping in his shop. Sadly, there is no shop in our town that sells

organic or local produce. i looked around and almost all the veg, apart

from the potatoes and some of the root veg, came from abroad. How sad is

that. If I could only find a local organic farmer somewhere.

Love Shell.
