Hi!
Somehow my children have gotten the message from me that cooked food is bad, unhealthy or yucky and raw food is good, healthy or yummy. This is a very good thing I think but it can sometimes backfire on you and cause some embarasment.
Case in point..
We went over to a couples house for supper one day. They were serving a huge Thanksgiving type dinner with all the fixings. There were a few other couples there too but we had the only children. (it was not Thanksgiving, but they made a Thanksgiving type meal). Our hosts had set up a nice little "childrens table" for our children to sit at across the room and started dishing out food to them. I was sitting at the table visiting with one of the other couples.
Suddenly from across the room I hear our 5 year old yell "Hey Mama, look, they are feeding us yucky food!" I looked over at him and tried to motion to him to be quiet. He then shouted out "Mama are you going to eat this yucky food?" and "Look Mama, they have all kinds of yucky food here!"
Now, I laugh about it. At the time I was mortified as everyone turned to look at me wondering what on earth he was talking about.

LOL!
My mother-in-law planned a little late birthday get-together for my hubby. Him and our 4 year old son went, I stayed home. When they got back I heard about my mother-in-law asking if I wanted a plate brought back and my son responding with "My mommie doesn't eat that junk, she eats raw food!"
Afterwards, she and my son gathered tomatoes and squash from her garden to take home to me.

I'm horrible. Sometimes when I see my niece, I'll ask her if she wants to eat the "yucky pig" or "Do you want some of the cow?" or "Do you want to eat some chickens?" instead of ham/beef/chicken. My mom yells at me when I do that.

Hilarious...
The kiddos are just keeping it real ;)
Authenticity at it's best :)It is, therefore, evident that it is possible to cure by foods, aliments and fruits; but as today the science of medicine is imperfect, this fact is not yet fully grasped. When the science of medicine reaches perfection, treatment will be given by foods, aliments, fragrant fruits and vegetables, and by various waters, hot and cold in temperature.
