I have seen kids with their teeth rotting from citrus, but mostly I have
read of troubles that fruitarians, and their kids have. We have on the list
a kind soul (Ric Lambert) who has raised two wonderful (from the sound of
it) raw vegan kids so it may not be a vegan thing so much as a "too much
fruit crowding out the veggies/nuts" thing. Who knows? Not I!

>My wife and my 5 years son eat everything (cooked or raw, fruit, veg, meat,

>the breakfast of all our family is only fruit).

I'm no expert, but I don't think a fruit breakfast will do any harm, and
probably much good relative to many other breakfast foods. I was talking
about a fruit-only diet being questionable for a child.

Ah, that sounds lovely. I am childless, and have no real experience with
how a child may be weaned on raw foods, but others on the list do and I
hope they will respond... I just don't think that fruit _alone_ would make
a healthy substitute for breastmilk--whenever your daughter abandons the
breast.

Probably your daughter is in great health, from the sound of it! Breastmilk
will do that for a young one.

Happy, good growth, good sleeper--hey, none of that sounds like deficiency
to me. I don't think you are in error, and it sounds like your daughter
doesn't either--she's thriving!

So what does everyone think? How does one continue to raise a raw kid
before they can chew much? Breastmilk? Fruits? Veggie juices? Nut milks?
Egg yolks? Raw cow's milk? Fish? SBA? Pre-masticated foods from mommy?
