I agree, one cannot crave what one has never had. These kids were malnourished, they just needed more food.

Maybe the cravings were caused by jealousy of the older siblings who were allowed to eat dairy? Kids always want what their other siblings have.

Lovebows,

too much fruit consumption seems to be the problem for the above vegan family. it wreaks havoc on your teeth - it also depends on what types of fruit it was - long last fruitarians use a wide range of fruits/and some greens if need be, the older fruitarians have become very instinctive eaters and seem to be more aligned with nature, others do vigorous training to balance there systems out and don't get these adverse results.

over all its still the media - they try to condemn anything good and many fall for it - the blow every little thing out of proportion and leave the facts out. if they craved anything going raw then they all went at it way too fast & put there bodies into shock, not a good thing if your reason for doing it is for health reasons - starting out you must be kind to your body and ease into it and start out at a percentage of raw that you can handle and go slowly from there.

But I'm sure most people her have said the same things - i just haven't read the replies yet.

Kale and Lambsquarter will give you just as much calcium as milk will. And, these veggies give you an animal cruelty-free stamp of approval.

Don't let others curb your idealism, especially since you and you alone know your body's needs. I alsways retort "I'm sorry you think I should be eating different, but do I look unhealthy to you? Am I missing something?"

Hopefully they get the picture :-)

There are so many factors involved in good raw health, that if we don't have the details, how can we know the truth of what happened? Perhaps they didn't take enough greens in the form of calcium which would explain the dairy craving.

I have always read that drinking milk causes you to become acidic and the body dissolves calcium from your bones and teeth to alkalise your blood thus causing oesteoporisis and other ailments connected with acidity.
Surely this happens with raw milk too? It is the animal protein in the milk that causes the problems no?

That issue is about excessive animal protein intakes, not whether or not milk is consumed at all.

with no milk we had bad teeth
with raw milk we had good teeth
