introduction
advantages that most children don’t have these days. They have been fed real food. Children are naturally amazing if we don’t give them a handicap. Children are also designed to be beautiful. We all are. Inadequate nutrition has caused our faces and bodies to form differently than intended. Without adequate nutrition during pregnancy, breast feeding, and childhood, children’s features form differently than they would otherwise. Faces become narrow, teeth crowd, eyes form too close together, foreheads protrude, jaws jut out, and the general balance of the face that forms the foundation for beauty isn’t there. Adelle Davis was a pioneer of this kind of thinking in the 1950s, and she documented these phenomena back then. Imagine what she would say now. There is global concern for the malnutrition being suffered in developing world because of poverty. What people don’t realise is that children are suffering from malnutrition in our “developed” countries, even though they have enough to eat. They may look well-fed, or over-fed, but they are malnourished. If you have children, please consider changing their diet. You will give them such an advantage in life. It will be a real gift for them. They will initially resist, but they will eventually get over it if there aren’t other choices. I hear a lot of parents say that their child won’t eat vegetables. They have been trained and enabled not to eat vegetables. If you take away all fake food, and keep only real, healthy food, they will eventually give up and eat it. Some parents cook multiple meals for their children, because their children refuse to eat certain things; this isn’t a good way to teach children respect for you. If I have spent time planning meals, shopping, cooking, and serving, and people I serve it to turn up their noses at it, then I am not teaching them respect for me if I don’t say something. My children rarely complain
