So, in an effort to eat better, I decided to try to serve raw food for breakfast and lunch. I wasn't sure how this was going to go over with the kids, but to my surprise they are loving it! My son ate more today than I think I have ever seen him eat at a lunch setting. This must be what his body needs. He often leaves meats on his plate and it used to discourage me, but now I know it's healthy for him to eat raw food anyhow, so that's what I'll give him. We had salad with the option of cucumbers, bell peppers, onions, raw gouda, and avocado served with raw dressing made by me, and watermelon for lunch. All the kids, including my niece, ate it right up. Success. I'll keep you posted on how this goes for us. For more info on why to eat raw food, visit
