One thing that bothers me is the idea of supplementing b12. I simply hate vitamins or "enriched" foods just because it is not natural. I don't care if they are food derived or whatever, I'd much rather gather them simply from eating.
The idea of infusing love with you food, whatever it is and accepting free food jives with me too. I still live with my parents and I hate turning down dishes my mom makes simply because of meat. She puts so much love and work into these things that it feels criminal to pass them up.
So right now I'm kinda working with this idea. If you can afford it, diets high in low fructose fruits and veggies with a mix of nuts are key. But for the meager, staple foods are still acceptable especially when treated and prepared with love so as to vitalize and nourish its consumer!
Any other thoughts?
Vitamin B's must be supplemented because so much of our food is pasturized and the earth soil has been depleted. So it is sometimes necessary to supplement.
I know my kiddos are better able to cope with life now that we do supplement. My son was diagnosed with ADH and once I traced all the additives down and eliminated them from our family diet and added vitamin b's in he was no longer loopy. I am all for kiddos that are energetic and light and focused. Without focus our purpose is completely negated.
We tried to add our Vitamin B's in using sea weeds and raw cheese but it was just not enough. So we use a vitamin. Also the sea weeds and raw cheese was too expensive for our budget and getting the kiddos to eat the food was a challenge.... those picky eaters.
I tried making a raw spinach soup for the kids but they would not eat it.... No amount of cajoling would budge these kiddos. Hubby and I loved it though...
