Raw Mom, Cooked Dad
Having trouble getting your family’s buyoff on your enthusiastic plans to follow your much greener, more raw, more whole eating program?
It’s one of the things we get the MOST email about, around here!
My friend the Green Smoothie Queen has put together a Raw Mom, Cooked Dad summit, and I am one of her interviews. Click here and enjoy the FREE information, support, and fun on this very important topic. My girl Tera is coming to the GreenSmoothieGirl retreat next April, to share her best bits from this show. Meantime you can listen in, sitting at your PC in your PJ’s in between soccer dropoff and dinner cleanup!
Check it out here.
I’m having trouble stay the course myself.
HI Robyn
Are there more details about your upcoming retreat that I may have missed? Where, when, how much? Who’s invited?
Thanx kindly:) Just heading over to listen to the interview- this is my family alright! I always wish I could rewind the clock and start over with our diets at birth with the children and at “I Do” with my husband! Do you ever wish for this with your family? We’re not doing bad considering but it isn’t a natural way for them yet, they still yearn for the old way of eating some days even though I explain why!
Julie, it’s never too late!
Watch the blog/newsletter for more detailed and specific info on the retreat, but it’s for everyone–esp. parents and grandparents. April 20-22, 2011, Lindon, Utah, probably $299 or $69 for a child.
My daughter is opening up a raw food cafe. People want BAGELS!!!!!! I cannot find a WHEAT FREE, GLuten free bagel recipe that can be dehydrated. ANy suggestions> She makes a good gluten free wheat bagel, but many are allergic or avoiding wheat..What to do??? Thanks in advance, Linda
A couple of things I have found about water.
My well water is pH 9 and it kills my plants. tastes like drinking ocean water. The pH scale is a logrithm so from pH 8 to 9 is 10x more alkaline,
I have checked out 2 water alkalizers and they use calcium chloride to alkalize the water not a great alkalizer. Dr. Norman Walker says all are minerals have to go thru the plant kingdom before they have value for the human body.
Also Paul Bragg lived to 96 yrs old swimming in the ocean and drank distilled water his adult life. Secretariat drank only distilled water retired sound from racing.
Regan, do you know if other properties of the well water could possibly be killing your plants? Sometimes whatever is making your water alkaline is not a healthy compound for a variety of other reasons.
Hello Robyn. I heard you on Raw mom Cooked dad and wanted to thank you for being so honest! I am a mother of 3 teenagers and I started eating raw about a year ago. I purchased your manual and cds to help me understand and learn about what foods to make and why. I am surrounded by many friends that have been raw, vegan and/or vegetarian for a few years. Their children are very young compared to mine and when I try to explain to them that its not an easy task to get 3 teenagers (and a
husband) to change their habits, they just don’t understand. Yes there are a few things that my kids have embraced but it is so difficult to eat more greens (that is the main thing I have been stressing). To hear you say you have challenges with your oldest son makes me breathe a sigh of relief. I was beginning to feel like a failure because my friends did not understand where I was coming from. Their opinion is “you buy the groceries and put the food on the table, so you have the control”. I would never force my family to give up their meat or cooked foods, I would just feel better knowing they are eating more greens….heck I wouldn’t want someone to try to change the way I eat so why force my kids?
Anyway, thank you again for your honesty and your interview on the raw mom cooked dad. Its good to know that other people have struggles as well.
