Parents -- if I can recommend any must-read book that will absolutely alter the way you feed and raise your kids, this book is it. Wanna know why cow milk leads to Type 1 diabetes and ear infections (not to mention other diseases) and is actually not a great source of calcium? Check. Wanna know why antibiotics are actually harmful to your child? Check. Wanna know why animal proteins lead to degenerative diseases? Check. And so much more critically important information.
Having said that much, I'll be the first to admit that it is nearly impossible for me to be strict about the diet he proposes. Sometimes, your kid won't eat anything but a damn pizza. And sometimes it's a hot summer day, and, dangnabbit, your kid wants chocolate ice cream (or donuts or cupcakes or whatever the treat du jour may be that day). But this book at least provides you with a framework by which to make your daily dietary decisions.
The recipes he provides at the end of the book are somewhat...er...optimistic ("carob-avocado cream pie"), but I haven't tried them yet so will have to update this post down the road with the kids' reactions.
Get the book here. NOW!
