Listen to this short Sally Fallon Interview on healthy children and healthy fats. (Click “Listen Online.”) As usual from me, and especially from Sally, you’ll hear some extremely politically incorrect nutrition advice. Don’t just assume I’m a nutcase…when it comes to my views on nutrition anyway. Do some research. Start by reading some of the posts below. 
Here’s how the Sally Fallon interview begins:
“Parents are becoming very concerned these days about health problems in their children. Learning problems, behavior disorders, growth problems, asthma, and allergies. But these same parents are often trying very hard to follow the dietary guidelines that call for low fat diets. Well the problem is, according to our next guest, these low fat diets may well be causing these health problems. Sally Fallon is the president of the Weston A. Price Foundation, and author of the best-selling cookbook, Nourishing Traditions. Her message is: pregnant women and growing children NEED traditional high fat foods, including eggs and butter, full fat dairy products and meat.”

I wish that I had brought up my boys on the same foods as my daughter! My boys are older (12, 9) and when they were little, I had not yet been introduced to the NT way. I did breast-feed, but we ate a lot of the “low fat” propaganda style. My daughter, though, pretty much went from breast-milk to raw cow’s milk, and has been raised on raw milk, whole fat cheeses, grass-fed meats, pastured poultry, LOTS of farm fresh eggs, real yogurts (made into smoothies), coconut oil, real butter, and my homemade baked goods made from freshly milled organic grains. She has had the least amount of sugar than any of my children, the least amount of processed foods. Now, this isn’t scientific – but she has been the HEALTHIEST of all my children. She is nearly 5 years old, and I can only recall ONE time that I have taken her to the doctor for a “sick visit” in all her 4.5 years! She has not had an ear infection, she is RARELY sick, I can’t recall one single time she has “thrown up”. She is happy, very energetic, has had NO cavities whatsoever, she is very bright, and seems to me to have strong bones and muscles. She just has a sparkle in her eyes and a zest for life.
My boys were generally healthy too – but I feel so good knowing I am feeding my daughter’s little brain the right stuff from the start.
I also know full well, that there are no guarentees….. and I try to keep a balanced perspective. My children are in the Lord’s hands – and my goal is to just do as much as I can to equip them physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally.

Shauna,
I feel your pain. It bothers me that I didn’t know this stuff early enough to benefit ALL our kids as much as our youngest.
With each child that had a little more of our healthier diet, I see more and more signs of better dental health, an easier time learning things, more easy going temperment, etc.
I never cease to be amazed at what a difference traditional food can make.
