Raw Kids

[WannaBeRaw]

I am not sure if this is the right place for this post but here goes.

Has anyone read the book Raw Kids? I just finished it and I was more than a little disappointed. I thought I was going to get nutritional info and ideas about how to raise healthy kids on a raw diet. What I found is an author who doesn't seem to even believe in a raw diet for children. Toward the end of the book she says that she and her family are only about 50% raw. I am not judgeing her decision to be 50% raw. Everyone has to make the best decisions they can for their family. But I am not happy about her decision to write a book that claims it will help you transition your children to a raw diet when this is not a lifestyle that she is following herself.

Is it common for raw food authors to not be actual raw foodist?

What are your thoughts on this?

And Can anyone reccomend any books that deal with a raw diet for children?

You posted in the perfect forum! :)

I haven't read this book...I don't know of any that will provide you with the info you seek either (nutritional info and how to raise kids raw precisely)...I mean, I've read the Boutenko's "Raw Family" but it's moreso the story of their family becoming raw...not really an instructional guide of how to transition the kids to raw.

But perhaps some of our other parents here have read something that will provide the info you seek...

Oh...take a look at this thread...maybe someone suggested some other books here: http://www.rawfoodtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7501&highlight=kids

I read the book. I kinda agree 'bout the writing if a book, then not practicing what you preach, so to speak. I guess she felt more comfortable including some cooked foods-each to his/her own, ya know. I think she believed in it, wrote the book, changed back to 1/2 cooked, then published the newer addition. I don't know if I'll ever get myself 100% raw, let alone by children-but that book did not increase my confidence! Maybe I should just stick with the Boutenkos, kwim? ;)
