Living Foods for Raw Kids!
| "One thing must be thoroughly and fully recognized
for this age in a child's life: the physical body
creates its own scale of measurement for what is
beneficial to it. It does this by properly developing
craving and desire. Generally speaking, we may say
that the healthy physical body desires what is good
for it. In the growing human being, so long that
it is the physical body that is important, we should
pay the closest attention to what healthy, craving
desire and delight require. Pleasure and delight
are the forces that most properly enliven and call
forth the organs' physical forms.
In this manner it is all too easy to do harm
by failing to bring children into the proper physical
relationship with their environment. This may
happen especially in regard to their instincts
for food. Children may be overfed with things
that make them lose completely their healthy instinct
for food, whereas by giving them the proper nourishment,
the instinct can be preserved so that they always
want what is wholesome for them under the circumstances."
~Rudolf Steiner

David Wolfe was asked: Is a raw food diet
safe and beneficial for children? Older adults?
He answered: "Yes. A carefully chosen
raw-food diet containing organic fruits, vegetables,
sprouts, nuts, seeds, superfoods, and herbs
with appropriate supplements works beautifully
for both children and older adults.
"A more specific question is: Is a Standard
American Diet (SAD) safe and beneficial for
children? Or older adults?
"98.5% of the U.S. population has teeth
problems. Most of these are due to demineralization
(poor nutrition) and too much sugar (poor nutrition).
"50% of the US population dies of heart
disease which is caused by poor diet and is
thus preventable and even reversible with proper
diet as tens of thousands of cases have shown.
"Experts are predicting that 100% of the
male population will develop prostate cancer
if they live long enough! I have counseled dozens
of men who have completely reversed prostate
cancer and high PSA counts with raw-food nutrition,
fresh juices, and herbs.
"In the next 10 years, cancer will surpass
heart disease as the number one killer in the
United States. We know that the best way to
prevent cancer is to limit our exposure to carcinogens.
The number one way of exposing ourselves to
carcinogens is through cooked commercial food.
Raw plant food actually contains anti-carcinogenic
nutrients."
