one thing i wanted to ask - mangos - they cost a bloomin' fortune over here so i only ever buy them as a treat, but i've noticed they make my son absolutely loopy! he reacts to them so similarly to chocolate that he doesn't get them. i assumed it was fructose in them but your posts seemed to imply that it wouldn't be
anyway, what was particularly interesting was i guess i've been limiting my son's fruit intake because of said loopy-ness when he has too much sugar, but since he naturally gravitates towards fruit rather than traditional meals, i'm going to follow his lead for a little while and see how much he wants in his diet
This was my experience with my kiddos too. Make sure you are buying organic or wash and peel them throughly because it seems that it was the pesticides that was making my kiddos loopy.
Also, I always balance fruit with a protein.... right now it is fruit and cheese (hey it is what they will eat...no amount of cajoling would get them to budge... so when in kiddo Rome do as the the kiddos).
I also have gotten them recently to eat raw organic almonds which pack more v's and m's than cheese and although they are pricey they only have to eat about 3 and they are full.
Vitamin B's also play a part in loopy kiddos. I added a quality organic vitamin complex to their diets and now they are no longer loopy.
Also, the suppliers of fruit wax the fruit with a "food" grade wax and/or oil. Stay away from that stuff as it does the same... the Genetically Engineering crowd are very tricky heyoka's and will do all they can to hide thier dirty deeds.
My kids love Avocados and Mangos but here in the North East Sector of North America they are so pricey!!! Right now they are going for 6.00 for 3 measely avocados. Mangos are 2.50 a piece for conventionally grown and organic is 3.00 this is extremely price prohibitive for anyone but the independently wealthy. It makes me so annoyed because they have almost no overhead in raising these fruits and they pay their help less than a dollar a day... so the price setting is to make it hard on the masses and get them to eat crappy food.
So the best way for me to avoid this dilemma is to plant my own food, gather and supplement with the best food for the money that I have and pray over the food infusing it with Love before giving it to my kiddos and hubby and eating it myself. It seems to be working everyone is healthy.
Peace Pilgrim also advocated the diet that Y is advocating. She wrote about it extensively. She also wrote that it is important to eat what is given freely and to pray and infuse it with love if it is not the fruits that are optimal. You can learn more about Peace Pilgrim at www.peacepilgrim.com
