Pre-Order Primal Moms and Enter to Win

The random winner of The 30 Day Guide to Paleo Cooking is

Ashley Marie

Congratulations, Ashley!

Today we’re giving away Sarah Fragoso’s Family Cookbook. This book is more than just a cookbook, it’s a guide to living Paleo with the family. In the Family Cookbook, Sarah reveals aspects of her own family life and translates that into tips any family can use to become closer and healthier with their family. I really appreciate the work she did with this book. It is a jewel among cookbooks. She offers a shopping guide, a meal plan, and a guide on how-to-do-Paleo on a budget. Her recipes are all kid friendly – of course, on a sophisticated level. But once kids ditch processed foods, their taste buds open up and they begin to appreciate flavors of all kinds.

This book came out a couple of months ago so you’ll get your copy ASAP.

To enter the giveaway, you will need to:

E Coli and Salmonella and Tapeworms, Oh My!

Just for the record, I’m not on a raw meat diet. I didn’t do a raw pregnancy. I get a lot of emails and comments from people assuming I eat a raw meat-Aajonus Vonderplanitz type Primal diet. I don’t… anymore. About six years ago I experimented with a raw meat diet and adhered to it for a while. I eventually moved on to just raw sea food, rice, and raw juices. Then I moved to low carb. Yada yada. I’ve experimented with just about everything.

That said, I still think there is a lot of value in including raw animal foods (and juices) in the diet. That’s why I write about it a lot - not because I think everyone should quit cooked meat and start eating raw. 

The question most everyone has about eating raw animal foods is how they can eat it safely and avoid getting food borne illnesses. Doesn’t eating meat cause infection of certain pathogens?

The answer is yes and no.

Paleo Kid’s Menu for Home or Day Care

I ran into a website for a home daycare the other day (which will remain anonymous) that was cognizant about the environment, exercise, and everything natural. The day care didn’t do TV and did do gardening. Her sweet home offered a play based learning program. It looked fantastic.

I was really impressed when she said that she goes beyond the USDA standards to serve nutritious, organic, natural foods, free of artificial dyes and HFCS. What a little paradise right?

Until I saw this:

March Against Monsanto

March Against Monsanto

Tami Monroe Canal says she was inspired to start the movement, March Against Monsanto, to protect her 2 daughters. “I feel Monsanto threatens their generations health, fertility and longevity. I could’nt sit by idly, waiting for someone else to do something.”

I am totally with her on this, as a mother of two daughters myself. Although, my interest in this fight is not just about my daughters’ health, but about justice and freedom. Monsanto is robbing the world of their freedom to grow the foods they choose to grow and is replacing natural plants with modified crops that are bad for our health.

This gigantic corporation has got to be stopped. March Against Monsanto might just be the beginning of a revolution.
