Dude went for a chest bump wtf?
33 pts from sully and jefferson. Duke can beat anybody with that production. That said they have let up tremendously the last few minutes
Make it 36
Sheed locked up ACC player of the week and ACC Rookie of the week. He also vaulted himself to the lead of ACC ROY race. The dude is balling out on both ends of the court.
Yeah Suliamon is a good player. I wonder where he is going to be drafted this year?
Congrats on beating BC in Cameron, Duke.
I don't see anyone except plumlee not being back. Plus dawkins could step into that role if he's gone. Hes too small for the nba right now, he needs more time. Duke is going to be STRONG at every position except the five next year. However unlike heels fans, we haven't moved on past this year yet.
Sheed isn't going anywhere plus Matt Jones is an even better shooter then Sheed. Coach K will have a ton of talent to play with next year so it should be fun.
Yeah, Curry, Plumlee, and your superstar Ryan Kelly are leaving. No big deal, of course.
Oh yeah and they got that guy from Miss State. He's prob going to be ACCPOY. Oh yeah, Andre Dawkins will be back after not playing hoops for over a year. I'm sure he's going to be an ACCPOY candidate as well.
Not to mention a team with no big man and no experience as a unit. Like I said though, it's no big deal. It never is.
Duke fans are so retarded they think they get better when they have to go through a transition phase.
It's funny that the duke "fan" who thinks Hairston could leave refuses to acknowledge his own players, either. Look in the mirror duke, you guys have more of a history with players leaving after 1 year than Carolina does the past decade.
Suliamon will look great playing with Zeller and Kyrie next year in Cleveland.
Let the hate breed dude. Year after year it don't stop. Duke will be a top ten team again next year. Like I said we still have aspirations this year, and youve already accepted your fate.
Let the hate breed dude. Year after year it don't stop.
Let the hate breed dude. Year after year it don't stop.
Uh, it stopped last year in the first round.

Inspector is out of control
Published: Sunday, February 10, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 8, 2008 at 7:00 p.m.
To The Editor: It seems we've a loose cannon on the code enforcement board. An inspector issued J. C. Anders a violation of public nuisance last year. Anders wanted his day in court; the inspector was a no-show.
We can only speculate the inspector didn't think the judge would go along with his case. Anders thought the charge was dismissed, but the inspector returned on Jan. 14 and wrote the same violation again. This is harassment.
This time Anders demanded a search warrant. The inspector left and returned with some "official-looking" papers, but it wasn't a search warrant. He gained entrance to private property by deceit and intimidation. The papers implied that the inspector had a right to a periodic inspection. Imagine a government agent searching your home whenever he pleases.
We consider the entire Nuisance Ordinance in direct conflict with constitutional law; to have one of its enforcers acting as a tyrant supports our position.
Ordinance Sect.ion 126-4.05: "Access to premises. The owner or occupant shall ... permit access to all parts of ... structure as often as necessary."
If the Supreme Court upholds this section, the inspector can be a tyrant. Until it does, we demand his termination.

Charles Dharapak, Pool, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney's promise to release his 2011 tax return in April follows the practice of leading presidential candidates that began after Watergate. If history is any lesson, questions and criticism will continue long afterward.
For more than three decades, the major party nominees have released their income tax records. Some offered one year and others more than 10 years of returns. The same has been true for vice presidential candidates, except for Sen. Bob Dole of Kansas when he joined President Gerald Ford on the GOP ticket in 1976.
Former California Gov. Ronald Reagan broke his longstanding rule of keeping his personal finances private in July 1980 when he released his 23-page 1979 income tax return weeks before accepting the GOP nomination. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton weathered weeks of criticism in 2008 for not releasing tax returns showing family income after Bill Clinton left the presidency. She ultimately produced the records in April of that year after taking a pounding from her top party rival, Sen. Barack Obama.
Even after returns are released, controversies persist. Democratic Sen. John Kerry took heat in 2004 after releasing his returns because his wife, heiress to the Heinz Co. food fortune, initially refused to release hers, which were filed separately. Four years later, Republican Sen. John McCain faced similar criticism because his wife didn't release her separately filed returns, which reflected income from a Phoenix-based beer distributing company she inherited. She later released the two top summary pages of one year's return, the same that Kerry's wife had released.
Now it's Romney's turn. Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who released his own tax returns dating back to 1991, urged Romney during a debate Monday to release his. Romney, whose net worth is estimated at roughly $250 million, previously had resisted calls to release his tax returns. Anticipating a key question about his taxes, Romney disclosed Tuesday that he pays an effective federal tax rate of about 15 percent, still higher than the rate paid by many Americans.
Romney said in the debate that he will decide whether to release returns in the coming months.
"I hadn't planned on releasing tax records because the law requires us to release all of our assets, all the things we own. That I have already released," he said. Later, he added, "What's happened in history is people have released them in about April of the coming year and that's probably what I would do."
Romney's right. There is no law requiring presidential candidates to release personal tax information. Since 1978, however, they've had to disclose information about their income and some about their assets, like real estate holdings, investments and outside business interests. But those disclosures only show a range of values for assets, making it impossible to use those forms to identify a candidate's actual wealth.
He's also right that many leading candidates in recent history chose April to release their tax returns.
On Tuesday, Romney gave reporters in South Carolina more insight into his plans, saying he would release one year of his tax returns, not the six previous years that Obama released as a candidate in 2008 or even the two years that McCain released that year.
"People will want to see the most recent year," Romney said.
He said he's paid "closer to the 15 percent rate" in taxes because most of his income has come from investments and not ordinary wages, which have a top tax rate of 35 percent for those with the highest earned income.
When he ran in 2008 Romney refused to release his tax returns, and he previously had filed only state financial disclosures that described his assets in the most general terms.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich of Georgia has said he will release his tax returns Thursday.

It's been a long and tumultuous week. The revelation that the NSA is and has been spying on everyone and anyone through one of the must insane, high-tech espionage systems of all time has been one hell a ride, but we've also got some WWDC rumors, an amazing Photoshop prank, how the government shut down the house of tomorrow, a bunch of terrifying 3d-printer fails and more. Check it out all that and more!
Your welcome mat is not a secure key hiding place, neither is the frame over your door or the suspicious foam-rubber "rock" lurking suspiciously next to your stoop. You might as well leave your doors unlocked. Instead hide your spare where nobody will ever think to look—right out in the open.
Apple's new WWDC app, meant to guide developers through next week's mega-conference, is up in the App Store today. If you look closely, you can see bits of iOS 7 in it. While it's exceedingly easy to overvalue just how much this app means—Apple surely doesn't want to tip its hand before the event—there are still some obvious visual clues as to what awaits us in iOS as a whole. Let's take a look.
Just because you have a 3D printer doesn't mean you're going to make anything remarkable. It doesn't even mean you're going to wind up with what you set out to produce. Believe it or not, 3D printing requires some skill. And when you don't have it, things go delightfully askew.
Keys have been around for hundreds, if not, thousands of years. We've all used them. We generally understand how they work and how vulnerable they can be. Some are better than others. And now that the simplest of devices in the home are connecting to the cloud, it's time to figure out just how safe or smart these new-fangled smart locks really are.
Americans were promised one thing during World War II: life was going to be amazing in the "world of tomorrow." But when the war ended many companies, along with the U.S. government, turned back on that promise as quickly as they could.
The number one reason most of us grab an unhealthy meal over a healthy one is convenience. Junk food is ready to be stuffed in your face, and when you're short on time, cooking is one of the first things to go out the window. Today we're going to show you three super simple, healthy, protein-packed meals you can make in a flash.
Depending on where you're from and where you've lived in the United States, you probably say things a little differently than people from other parts of the country. You've experienced this, but you've never seen how the regional dialects of the United States break down quite so cleanly.
In the wake of last night's revelation that everyone in the world has a creepy NSA-shaped stalker, defenders of online liberty and generally angry internet people Anonymous have leaked a treasure trove of NSA documents, including seriously important stuff like the US Department of Defense's 'Strategic Vision' for controlling the internet.
Last night, the Washington Post and Guardian dropped concurrent bombshell reports. Their subject was PRISM, a covert collaboration between the NSA, FBI, and nearly every tech company you rely on daily. PRISM has allowed the government unprecedented access to your personal information for at least the last six years. But what is it, exactly?
Wouldn't you be shocked if you were waiting for the bus, and you saw yourself magically appear in that Gap ad at your stop? Yup. And so were the victims of this delightful Photoshop prank by artist Erik Johansson and Adobe.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Notre Dame football players KeiVarae Russell, DaVaris Daniels, Ishaq Williams and Kendall Moore are being held out of practice while the school investigates what it is calling "suspected academic dishonesty."The school announced Friday it has notified the NCAA about the inquiry. Because of potential violations, the four players can't compete until the conclusion of the investigation and the university honor code process.The Fighting Irish open the season against Rice on Aug. 30.The Rev. John Jenkins, the university president, said during a news conference that no student has been judged responsible for "academic dishonesty.""Nobody has been dismissed," Jenkins said.All were expected to be key contributors this season, coach Brian Kelly's fifth at Notre Dame."We have great confidence in Brian and his staff," Jenkins said. "They have been nothing but supportive."Russell, a junior, starts at cornerback. Daniels, a junior, is the team leading returning receiver. Williams, a senior, was expected to be a big part of the defensive line. Moore, a senior, is backup at linebacker.Athletic director Jack Swarbrick said the players have not been suspended. He said they remain grant-in-aid students and have access to athletic facilities and resources.Jenkins said evidence students had submitted papers and homework that had been written for them by others was initially detected at the end of the summer session. The case was then referred to the compliance office on July 29."If the suspected improprieties are proven, we will use the experience to reinforce among our students the importance of honesty in all that they do. We are also examining ways of better conveying to students that they can avail themselves of legitimate academic assistance without resorting to cheating," Jenkins said.Jenkins said the school would vacate victories if it is determined players have been ineligible during past competition. All four were members of the 2012 team that played for the BCS national championship.The investigation is the latest in a series for the Irish in the past 15 months involving academics, starting with starting quarterback Everett Golson in May 2013. He was suspended for the fall 2013 semester what he called poor academic judgment.Jerian Grant, the leading scorer on the basketball team at the time, was suspended in December for the spring semester for an academic violation. Daniels was suspended two weeks later for the spring semester and was recently reinstated.

Panfilio infuses 'Rita' with hopeful humor
In the opening scene of "Educating Rita," Willy Russell's bittersweet play about a 26-year-old hairdresser trying to start over and the alcoholic literature professor assigned to help her, Rita bounds into Frank's book-lined study for her first lesson.
Her attention is immediately drawn to an ostensibly chaste but erotically charged portrait on the wall, and within the blink of an eye she has offered a bawdy, original and wide-ranging interpretation of how that portrait works. Admitting he hasn't looked at it in years, the best Frank can manage is the bland assessment that it's "beautiful." »Read Full Article

text: GBO Golden Boy Odongo Nairobi Born and raised in the East African city of Nairobi, Kenya, I started writing songs at the age of 10, inspired by parallels in the urban lives of the people around me and those in the media. 12 years on, I am still writing and performing, growing every day as an artist. My debut album was completed and scheduled to be released in 2004, at the age of 14. Unfortunately, due to lack of recording space and finances, the project was scrapped. In 2006, I struck up a friendship with two up and coming producers, K-Yos and AR-15 at Miagi Entertainment, with whom I began collaborating. While studying engineering in London, I finally released my first mixtape in 2009, entitled, "Goin' For Gold". This was followed by another mixtape ,"After the 1st", the following year. Although certain songs such as "Make Your Move", "Sunrise to Sunset" and "Addict", were released to good reviews, the mixtape was never released in its entirety. In order to successfully juggle my degree course and artist life, I developed what many term as an unparalleled work ethic. To date, I have recorded close to 50 finished songs and written well over 100. I also experimented in the role of producer and taught myself how to master and mix all my own records. Who better to find the sound I am searching for but me? On completion of a 4 year long degree program, I moved back to Kenya to pursue music full time. I am currently working on my album "Where I Am Now".

Health Canada Recommends Meat as Baby First FoodHealthy Pregnancy, Baby & Child
One of most misguided and damaging pieces of advice coming from the vast majority of pediatricians, dieticians, and other "experts" is to give rice cereal as a baby first food around the age of 4-6 months. This advice is extremely harmful to the long term health of the child, contributing greatly to the epidemic of fat toddlers and the exploding problem of childhood obesity.
Rice cereal is never a healthy baby first food. Not only is it an extremely high glycemic food when eaten alone (spikes the blood sugar) but it also contains ample amounts of double sugar (disaccharide) molecules, which are extremely hard for such an immature digestive system to digest. The small intestine of a baby mostly produces only one carbohydrate enzyme, lactase, for digestion of the lactose in milk. It produces little to no amylase, the enzyme needed for grain digestion until around age one.
Now, at least one governmental body is waking up to the harmful notion of cereal grains as the "ideal" baby first food.
Health Canada in collaboration with the Canadian Pediatric Society, Dietitians of Canada and Breastfeeding Committee for Canada has issued new guidelines for transitioning a baby to solid food and two of the first weaning foods recommended?
Meat and eggs!
While these guidelines are certain to rile vegetarian and vegan groups, the fact is that meat and eggs are indeed perfect weaning foods for a baby. Not only are these animal foods extremely easy to digest compared with cereal grains, but they also supply iron right at the time when a baby's iron stores from birth start to run low.
The inclusion of meat in these baby first food guidelines is in line with the wisdom of Ancestral Cultures which frequently utilized animal foods for weaning. A traditional first food in African cultures is actually raw liver which the mother would pre-chew in small amounts and then feed to her child.
The guidelines specifically note the role that ancient wisdom played in the decision to no longer recommend cereal grains and instead suggest meat:
"While meat and fish are traditional first foods for some Aboriginal groups, the common practice in North America has been to introduce infant cereal, vegetables, and fruit as first complementary foods."
Soft boiled egg yolks are also an ideal choice as a baby first food as they supply ample iron as well as choline and arachidonic acid which are both critical for optimal development of the baby's brain which grows as its most rapid rate the first year of life.
Unfortunately, while the suggestion of meat and eggs is a good one, the joint statement from Health Canada also inexplicably includes tofu and legumes which are both a terrible choice as a baby first food. The starch in legumes would cause the same digestive problems as rice cereal and the endocrine disrupting isoflavones in tofu would be a disaster for baby's delicate and developing hormonal system.
But, let's give credit where credit is due. At least meat and eggs are appropriately included on the baby first food list. Good on you Health Canada! Perhaps your neighbor country to the South will wake up and get a clue about how to properly feed babies based on your lead.
I'm not holding my breath.

Pingback: Healthy Snack Guidelines | kscfood
As someone who writes guideline recommendations for a living it always amazes me how certain people can twist and turn them to serve their own agenda. The actual Health Canada guidelines recommend the following: "iron-rich meat, meat alternatives, and iron-fortified cereal as the first complementary foods." But I guess that would be a boring article.

Good old common sense is back?
Christine Linden via Facebook
wel, …the first food is already an animal product..MILK
Jodi Schroeder Barnett via Facebook
Where I agree with NOT offering the rice cereal, and I agree with the egg yolk, I completely disagree with offering the "meat" aspect at the age of 6 mos. Why are parents so eager to offer food so early? Especially if you are breast feeding? Let me ask you… most babies do NOT have a full set of teeth by the age of 6 mos. do they? the digestive system is not completely developed for the variety of foods by way of enzyme production until they have cut the full molars between 18 mos/2 yrs. old. introducing, egg yolks, veggies, fruits but meats I believe should def. wait.
Kindra Keller via Facebook
We didn't do baby cereal, found it was pointless and almost no nutritional value. Might as well give them straight sugar.
Sylvie Cormier-Arsenault via Facebook
Baby led weaning. Just let the baby/toddler start when they want and let them eat what they want. It was stress free and no special meals. You just have to chose real food and nothing processed
Amy Julia Swanson via Facebook
I never gave purees to my babies…I just let them take small pieces of soft food as they showed interest and supervised them. Breast milk was enough for 6 months anyway and then around about 5 months they started to be interested in my food and I would give them little pieces to gum on.

My daughter's very first solid food was turkey for Thanksgiving.

Thankfully my pediatrician was against rice cereals and was was big on real foods and a traditional diet!
Heatherand Hobie Brewer via Facebook
Also my babies breastfeed 18+ months
Andrea Feucht via Facebook
I turned out ok despite cereals as a baby, BUT, I was vaginally born and breast-fed, so I had a better starting gut than half the kids out there now. If I'd had yolks, maybe I'd be super-powered!
Marlo Pabst Hughen via Facebook
My pediatrician also recommended this 3 years ago for my middle child – he said it was recommended by the children's hospital denver.
Jennifer Collins via Facebook
they also now advise breastfeeding until at LEAST TWO! maybe people will give me a break with my 2.5 year old!
Theresa Sundstrom via Facebook
I found baby cereals – even homemade – were the reason why my kids were constipated!
Erin Lowre Enwright via Facebook
I always have eggs as first food to my babies
Abbey Byrd via Facebook
My pedi just told me at my sons 4 month check up that new studies are advising serving rice cereal between 4-5 months to lower risk of type 1 diabetes. Maybe she thinks I'm gullible because I'm a young mom..
1) No. We hold closer to the "food before 1 is just for fun" belief and let them snack and explore when they're ready.
2) it's laughable that something that spikes glucose could prevent diabetes.
3) Gut health people!
Bone broth mixed with soft boiled egg yolks will likely be my sons first food.
Leanna Zimmerman via Facebook
Eggs, veggies, and fruit followed by meat were the first foods for my youngest sating at 6 months. Prior to that he was solely breastfed on demand. I continued to breastfeed along with solids till 13 months (i wanted to go longer but it just didn't work out). I never gave him babyfood. At 18 months people often comment on how good he eats.
Laura Duvall Huckins via Facebook
Why is just the egg yolk recommended? If there is no family history of an egg allergy why not do the whole egg? My daughter is almost 11 months and has been eating the whole egg without issue since eating food at 9.5 months. Pediatrician gave his okay.
Heatherand Hobie Brewer via Facebook
Ummm there's no way meat would be a first food for my babies! I'm not for all the cereal junk either but mine started on veggies and fruit.
Bethany Leisure via Facebook
Would avocado or yogurt also be good first foods?
Kate Sharp via Facebook
My baby started solids around 8months in addition to breast milk. Mostly chicken, and avocado at first. Fed him egg yokes. Then some scrambled egg and the pediatrician freaked out on me! "No eggs until 3" I was like yea ok

Interesting read!

best way to prepare "soft boiled" yolks for littles?

I boiled eggs and ate the whites myself. Saved the yolks for my baby. Mashed them smooth with breastmilk and that was his first food. Avocados were also one of his favourites.

My ped recommended meat with my youngest. She was ebf 6mos, then only had roast beef, avocado, eggs and sweet potato for a couple months before introducing other foods. No digestive issues and she's a genius My oldest was a different story and had SO many digestive issues and eczema.

What age is considered "safe" to try eggs?

meat might be difficult to get down to the right size – what about putting ground meat through the blender with some whole milk?
Soft boiled egg sounds nice and easy though.
Is it ok to sub raw liver with desiccated liver for a 6 month old? I can get the raw grass fed liver but it may take a while and I have the desiccated liver from Radiant Life at home. Any thoughts? Also how much would I give say per day?
What a bunch of BS this is. I raised vegetarian children; and they were so health my daughter missed only eight days of school K through 12. My son, which suffers migraines due to an accident missed 13, due to migraines. Both are in their 30's very healthy, active and thriving. But I also fed them home cooked foods- little sugar. Come on…get with medical science. And did you notice tofu was in that list….oh please stop the BS.
Did you miss the part of the article that is about "baby's FIRST food"? And that meat or eggs are just added suggestions over what is most likely the highly processed and industrial rice "cereal" so prevalent in baby food isles?
Reasons given as in: (and where is your science to refute? hearsay?
Rice cereal is never a healthy first food for babies. Not only is it an extremely high glycemic food when eaten alone (spikes the blood sugar) but it also contains ample amounts of double sugar (disaccharide) molecules, which are extremely hard for such an immature digestive system to digest. The small intestine of a baby mostly produces only one carbohydrate enzyme, lactase, for digestion of the lactose in milk. It produces little to no amylase, the enzyme needed for grain digestion until around age one. – See more at: http://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/new-health-canada-guidelines-advise-meat-as-baby-first-food/#comment-245714

For those concerned about egg allergies–the source can make a huge difference. I react badly to eggs from GMO fed chickens while do great with truly free range/organic chicken eggs (not the fake free range that you often see in supermarkets). My kids are 25-35 yrs of age and I started them on soft vegetables–they did fine with that. My youngest is pregnant right now and going with the Nourishing Traditions way of eating–I will tell her about your blog! Thanks!
I don't have a child yet but i like to buy books that may come handy someday. So i was wondering if anyone could recommend me a GOOD book about weaning, with information about which food should be given other than breastmilk, when and how it can be consumed..? I read the article and comments but i need to know more.

My babies couldn't have egg yolk till after 9 months, the richness made them vomit! But after that it is a regular food!
Just last night I met a man, probably older than me and I'm 50, showed the doctor's orders to his mother to start feeding him the following foods at 2 months old…
…pudding (I presume homemade)
…jello (if not homemade, I presume the gelatin in the boxed kind was superior to what we have nowadays)
…cottage cheese
…egg yolks
I was nodding and smiling… foods full of fats and proteins.
Interesting article,
Is it interesting to note that it appears as if most people advise against eating properly prepared legumes and grains. Are properly prepared grains still recommended are they to highly processed for anyone of any age in general?

Francoise de Rougemont, if you clean up your lifestyle and eat a nourishing traditional diet, the animal foods you eat will help prevent cancer by keeping your body well nourished and able to repair itself in the way it was deigned to do. If you already have cancer or are one of those few who gets it despite the far lower rates among those living a non-toxic but well-nourished lifestyle the best way to go is probably the Gerson Therapy, which no longer includes any animal foods although it did in its original form.

Christa Sabin, I've known of several people to cure an egg allergy with the GAPS program. I've been on GAPS for 18 months now and have benefitted tremendously including but not limited to curing my food allergies with anaphylaxis that began in the mid 1970s. It's not uncommon in our society for people's bodies to have a bad reaction to a food that should be healthy for them. But despite all the harm we've done ourselves with our poor diet choices and toxic lifestyles there is hope. 😉
I highly recommend the book Gut And Psychology Syndrome by Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride.

But… what do they say about the role of the meat easing the cancer's cells to grow ? °°

Miss cellany
Meat doesn't have to cause cancer. It produces more free radicals when digested, which can damage DNA but in children these are quickly mopped up and the damage is repaired.
Adults do not have as good a DNA repair system as children and need a balanced diet of both meat and veg / fruit as fresh fruits and veg (not frozen or dried) provide antioxidants which mop up the free radicals produced from meat digestion.
Eating just vegetables can be as bad as eating just meat, as you will not get the correct ratios of minerals and amino acids needed for maintainence of the body. The brain suffers the most from lack of meat – its no coincidence that our ancestors got smarter when they started eating meat.
Meat makes sense as a first baby food because it is the most similar to milk, and is the easiest to digest (digesting vegetables takes a lot more effort and more enzymes, humans arguably don't digest vegetables very well as it is – we need to cook them to get any nutrition out of them as we cannot break down cellulose).
Fruit might be taken readily but it is mostly sugar and doesn't provide much iron and provides negligible protein and fats.
Vegetarians may not like it but the truth is that meat really is superior to tofu or legumes for a baby's first food.

why do we even care about the guidelines set up health canada when the guideline includes things that should be not included? that to me shows that the entire advice is not to be taken seriously, why are we just taking what we want to hear and ignore what we don't want to hear?
and exactly when do babies have amylase properly developed? if we avoid gluten for babies for at least the first year or two, what about sources of energy?

This article is a complete work of fiction. The comments supporting are fantasy.
Pingback: Newsworthy | The Appropriate Omnivore
Dr. Carey Reams, who created RBTI, Reams Biological Theory of Ionization, a health program, did not recommend children to consume meat until they were 12 years of age.
"I also discovered that babies' gastric juices are so diluted, so weak they cannot digest the foods that adults eat. By mathematical calculations I worked out the foods that a baby could digest from the very earliest time that it could take food until its gastric juices became strong enough to digest the foods of an adult. Consequently, my children did not get any nut, or nut meats, or nut butters (coconut being the exception) until they were eight years old. (Or, unless the nuts are steamed soft in a pressure cooker, or boiled until soft. … I also discovered children could not digest meats until they were 12 years old … Besides meats and nuts the children should not eat shell fish, oysters, clams, lobster, or any soups with meat or meat broth in them. Children cannot digest chocolate, iced tea or coffee. Our children never tasted coke, or carbonated drinks. We always had fresh fruit drink" (Choose Life Or Death, P. 59,60).
Basically, he recommended a WAPF type diet for children less than 12 without meat or fish. He allowed FCLO, dairy, eggs, etc. At 12 years of age, he would slowly start to introduce meats.
According to RBTI practitioner Michael Olszta, "children under 12 get more energy from a dilute source, that is, they run on a lower octane gasoline. This is why so many children are sick, that is, they are being fed the diet of an adult and thus are getting too much higher octane fuel when that fuel should be lower octane. They not only are minerally deficient because of a wrong diet, their bodies have to deal with getting rid of the heavier foods which they cannot digest."
According to RBTI, the body's digestive system under normal health starts to work at its best around 18-20 years of age. Adults require a a heavier diet.
Curiously enough, Carey Reams created RBTI at a time when Weston Price already indicated soil depletion started to show up as a problem in modern society. Incidentally, RBTI focuses on addressing the lack of nutrition in our foods because of exhausted soils. I am trying to reconcile traditional suggestions to feed children meat versus RBTI. Can it be that depleted soils have caused weak digestion in children? Weston Price noted in his book that as soil declines, so does the health of a society.
Although, Reams seemed unperturbed giving non-GM0 soybeans to his kids, which I consider questionable, he raised kids that never had a cavity or misdeed a day of school due to illness. With that said, as anyone observed their children doing better before 12 on going without meats and fish that with these items?

Did you try feeding your baby the warm egg yolk with a little butter and sea salt added? Try it off your finger rather than a spoon for the first few times. That's how I did it to begin with and they loved it. Also, if your baby will drink from a bottle, mix a little soft-cooked egg yolk with your breastmilk in a bottle, and at least baby will get the nutrition from the yolk, even if it is a slow process to begin with. There are all kinds of tricky ways to get babies interested in real foods.

Anna@Green Talk
Sarah, I am glad you talked about rice as baby first food. Given what we know about arsenic in rice, it isn't a great idea for any children to get any rice based products until this whole mess is straighten out.
I started a petition over on change org to warn parents about the dangers of arsenic in rice.
I wish some of you ladies lived in my area of the country and could help me to educate young mom's about first foods for babies. I have been providing infant day care for eight years, and before that I provided all-age day care, and I can assure you I have trouble trying to un-do the damage the pediatricians have done, insofar as first foods, vaccinations and breastfeeding vs formula. It's astounding how really uninformed most of these people are, and the sad part is – – – they don't want to learn anything new and they think I'm off my nut when I suggest no rice cereal (only oatmeal if they think they must give a baby cereal) and they REALLY think I'm in left field when I suggest soft egg yolks or mashed avocado, both with a little butter and sea salt; but they think I'm from the moon when I suggest pureed meats. They are just in horror and all of them say to me "I'll talk to my doctor about it". Well, I know right then that I've lost them.
I really don't know how to turn it around but in all my years of providing care I think I've maybe had three successes in getting people to at least look into it or give these foods a try. The only food some will even consider trying without asking their doctor is yogurt, but then they go to the grocery store and buy Yoplait that's loaded with sugar and has absolutely NO fat in it, even though I explain to them NOT to do that. I've printed out articles to send home, but I think they use them to line the birdcages or something because they surely don't read it or pay much attention. They listen and politely nod their heads while I'm talking to them, but you can see the disengagement and the lack of interest, and the continue to stuff their babies with cereals and then they wonder why their babies are constipated about 90% of the time.
It's very frustrating but I do keep trying.
*** I should add, all together I've been providing day care for a total of 23 years, and my own children are 37, 35 and 25. So it's not like I have no experience with feeding these types of food. My kids grew up on real food because I learned all about this from my two gramma's and my lovely mother and mother-in-law. They were all a bunch of very smart cookies!
The other thing too…these will be the same mom's that are later on loading their children up with fast food too…
D – It's sad really. I have many friends who are still going by whatever their doctor says (which is funny because every doctor seems to have a different opinion anyway and most are just concerned with the pharmacuetical industry so they can make money). My first food for my 5 month old was avocado and he absolutely loved it! We haven't done any meats or soft yolks yet, but I will be once we have gone through all of the first fruits and vegetables. I've given him oatmeal twice, but I knew from the start I did not want to give him rice. My MIL and other family members kept telling me to give rice, or put rice in the bottle, etc. etc. I kept my ground and said no. I make all of his food myself.
Keep trying – many of the younger mothers seem to be becoming more open minded about things – well at least they are in my area anyway…
and what about giving quinoa to an infant? Should it be soaked? when to introduce it?
Hi Sarah,
Thanks for the post. Could you say something about when to give an infant who is not on breast milk soaked oats. When and how to introduce other grains?
The answer is never. Grains are only appropriate if starvation is the alternative.

My grandma's "going home from the hospital' directions for my mom were to feed pureed meat at 2 weeks!!!! (She's a vegetarian now. Coincidence?) She thinks I'm a weirdo for giving my baby broth and meat before 1 year. I guess the vegetarian 'instinct' didn't pass to me.

One of the few things I remember from high school bio is that amylace is primarily present in saliva (and the pancrease too). The only real evidence presented in this article is the second small paragraph referring to the lack of amylace in the small intestine as proof. Knowing that amylace is present elsewhere, this doesn't make a good argument to me, plus, I'd like to see how the spike in blood sugar from cereal compares to breast milk. …in short, where is the science??
(on a side note, how could the detoxifying organ, liver, be good to feed to your baby!?)
@ Kate: It's not amylace it's amylase, and there are two types alpha and beta. Look them up and study them.
Lots of people eat liver so why shouldn't it be given to a baby? Science??? Why would you trust science? Trust your instincts and watch the development of your baby for the science. If it was damaging to babies to feed these foods, do you think others would have been doing it for centuries? I'd rather see people feed their kids liver than formula any day of the week.
As to your question about breastmilk – – well, it shows your lack of education in food matters and the human body, too.
Helen T
D – enjoying your posts! Science has been so corrupted by big business, the only reliable info now is what your grandmother said. And when people cite the AMA and CDC, I have to stop from laughing…..
The spike in blood sugar from cereal is because it is a simple carbohydrate. It is not a complex carb. Complex carbs are broken down into simple carbs which take longer to digest and therefore keep your blood glucose levels at an even keel. Are you serious in wondering how it compares to breast milk? Though breast milk is sweet, it has far more nutrients than cereal could ever have. Naturally occuring nutrients and antibodies too, not fortified crap.
Liver, though a detoxifying organ, is high in iron. It also filters the blood, those toxins leave the body.
Liver is one of the world's great superfoods. Check out this baby who is thriving on natural baby formula that includes liver, and he loved it from the start! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54OGGE6zdXk

how ridiculous.. putting something dead into your babies mouth.. something murdered.. how repulsive.
Then tell me why vegans crave for meat and eat meatless burgers and things like that to fool their bodies of what their bodies need? I guess it is your inside voice tells you: "You are starving me. I need nourishment not a constant body cleanse." I always hear vegans talk about how they miss meat the most (notice, not sugar, the most addictive food) and they never stop this craving while sugar takes about 2 weeks to overcome.
And a word about murder. Don't you kill plant to eat it? What all vegans consider to be alive is enzymes in food that makes food alive vs. cooked food and not literally alive, kicking, and moving. Raw meat and eggs plus raw dairy have enzymes as well, so it is alive food too. Also, while we need to kill an animal in order to eat it or cut a plant from it's roots, eggs and dairy are not get "murdered" at all. Plants die when you cut them of. You can prolong their freshness with moisture and refrigeration. But don't we put meat in a fridge and a freezer to prolong it's freshness as well? Oh boy, we should all be ashamed of killing and eating animals and plants. We can't stop eating, right?
So my baby gets the best, full of enzymes and richest live food available in form of egg yoke.

Shannon eggs cause the red blood cells to stack 30 minutes after consumption which is not good. Wonders if you missed the memo, eggs are chicken menstrum
This is a blood condition that can be caused by poor protein digestion or too much protein in the body, not just by eggs.
Other known causes are stresses caused by coffee(caffeine) cigarettes as well as being dehydrated.
Well you're just dumber than dirt, do you ever think to at least check Wikipedia before you rebroadcast your accumulated ignorance?
"Rouleaux (stacks of red blood cells) formation is retarded by albumin proteins."
ALBUMIN! Ring a bell? No? Didn't think so, I'll give you a clue, as in EGG WHITES. Is it starting to make sense? This is why eggs are a Super Food.
My advice is that you keep on avoiding them, the sooner people like you go extinct the better life will be for the rest of us.
It's pretty ignorant of you to not know the difference between ALBUMIN and ALBUMEN Albumin is produced in the liver and found in the blood!!! It's the main protein in blood plasma. High Albumin levels in the blood are almost always caused by DEHYDRATION.
ALBUMEN is the name for an egg white – it contains ALBUMIN proteins. Egg white contains almost every amino acid required for life – Which makes sense considering an egg is the building block for a life.
Sorry conrack – I misread your post as a snap at me, and got a little defensive!
Well you're just dumber than dirt, do you ever think to at least check Wikipedia before… wait, I already said that.
And my comment was for ELoah, I should have put that in the comment.
While all of the information on egg whites is true, you don't feed the whites to a baby, only the yolks. After they are a year old they may have the whites, but that is the portion of an egg which will produce an allergic reaction if they're going to have a reaction at all.
And never rely on wikipedia for information. Not a reliable source for anything. Neither are web sites from the dot gov or the dot edu or the dot medical sites. Maybe mayo clinic occasionally, but otherwise keep going before relying on "searched web info" for your bottom line advice. Take advice from people who have been there, done that. Anecdotal, yes, but much more reliable in real life.
D – yes egg whites are introduced later, but you can introduce scrambled eggs as soon as 9 months – sometimes even sooner if you have a food tolerant family. Egg white intolerence isn't overly common. And even those intolerent of egg whites can sometimes handle them in small amounts. As for an egg allergy (about 1% of babies), babies can be allergic to both the whites and the yolks. Those who are allergic to yolks can usually tolerate whites and the other way around too. And most babies that are allergic to eggs don't overcome this allergy until around 5 years old, and some are allergic for life. (though this article isn't really about the whites!)
@ Jennifer: I never gave my kids scrambled eggs until they were older than 1 year, so I don't know about all that information you gave, I only know what I was told by my elders, who never failed me on anything else. We only fed yolks, with added butter (real butter usually homemade) and sea salt. We didn't go by science or percentages!
Wikipedia is certainly not a good or recommended source of any information, particularly for health. It is nearly totally controlled by the medical/pharmaceutical industry. Read it if you want to know when Johnny Depp was born, otherwise look elsewhere for the bottom line on science, health, and even history. It's for crap, with powerful censors controlling information.
as for the last part – who cares? they're tasty! we eat them fried, scrambled, boiled, raw, sunny side up. you may choose not to, more for those who do! (not to mention seeds are a kind of aborted life, too, if you snatch them out of nature before they can sprout and grow. you can't get away from the fact that you must eat living things in order to survive.)
Don't forget though, many people's elders tell them to use rice cereal. Did your family have an egg allergy? Because the theory of an egg allergy must have come from somewhere…
How I feel about it – the instance of food allergies in children has risen by over 300% – and the regulations on food have gotten stricter before that. In generations before mine is a little absurd to wait 6 months to start solids and then once they started pretty much everything was fair game.
D – your elders were wise! As long as your kids are healthy now, then you did things right. Every family is different with different beliefs and ideals.
@ Jennifer: My elders didn't even know about rice cereal. There was no such thing, but they did know about eggs.
I'm almost 60 y/o and just had my fourth grandchild on Wed. October 3rd, 2012. So even my Mom and mother-in-law didn't know about rice cereal. When my oldest sister had her first baby in 1962, they had a product on the market called Pablum but my gramma's told her it wasn't necessary and to stay with real foods. We also didn't feed our babies fruit until they were a year old, on the advice of elders, as well. I guess they knew about sugar problems! They always told us that the nutrients available in fruits were also available in other, less sweet foods. Their motto, more or less, was that you could get any child to eat something sweet, it's just more appealing. So we were told to try to develop their palate to want other foods first. So that's what we did. I don't think the word allergy even entered the picture for my gramma's generations, or even my Mom's generation. In my family, I do not believe I was exposed to the word allergy until my third child was born in 1987 and even then it wasn't a common issue with children. Convenience foods have made allergy a common word as well as a common issue because now every kid from birth through high school is allergic to at least five different things and needs this pill or that shot. It's malarkey most of the time, and if they would change their dietary habits from boxed/convenience foods to real foods all of those allergies would most likely be taken care of – naturally.
D – I completely agree with convenience foods being a problem. Very insightful post, thank you very much for sharing that history!!
I do believe that many allergies and illnesses are food industry related (at least here in the united states) it's all part of the effort to push prescription drugs in my opinion!
I realize this is a old post.
But I'm older then you, and my kids are grown,..
Both my children got formula, and when they where 2 weeks old got that rice flakes junk mixed with there formula..
My two grown children are healthy, Slim, and active. with children of there own.
We didn't hear about allergies back then, and they do not have any allergies.
My son has 3 grown kids, and one has allergies. She was nursed etc.
Now I have a 8 mo old, Great Grand Daughter, who is being nursed, and starting to eat fruit and Veggies. She is a chubby health happy baby, like all the other kids.
I think we go through different cycles all the time..
I thought meat for a baby was hard to digest , as it is for adults!!
What I like is the little baby food steamer (William Sonoma ),
You put veggies in there, it steams them, then the processor comes on and you have Organic steamed and Pureed , or larger pieces of baby food.
You really like to use statistics when it supports your arguments!

just because they "recommend" it doesn't make it gospel. i see that chip on your shoulder over veganism is still nipping away at you. We need more love and acceptance in this world. Regardless if we agree on all matters one thing is for sure, staying divided rather than banning together to resolve planetary issues isn't going to do anyone any good.
ELoah, what are you talking about? "Love and acceptance". What do you mean? Sarah is giving nutritional advice based on research. If you love eating plants, it's your choice. I want to read her articles because they give me great information. I am pretty sure Sarah loves you, vegans, very much, but it will not make her a lier to be political correct. She will tell you that what you do with your diet is unhealthy period. There are too many others who would sing to your ear.

Actually, Grandma use to let the babies gnaw on big fat pieces of bacon and stake.
Weren't there problems with splinters?

My baby just turned 6 months old and loooves egg yolk with liver and is starting meat, it's been great. I never considered rice cereal thanks to Sarah.
Sarah Wakefield Dye via Facebook
The thing is, you could probably ask any grandmother im sure meat or non-gerber food was the menu for any baby:)
Iben Henriette Olsen via Facebook
good meat, fish, eggs and veggies are far better for a growing baby than crappy flour/rice gruel that baby can´t digest -so awesome

Sally Fallon has a recipe for baby formula for those that can not breastfeed that includes liver.

my mom started me on liver & hard boiled egg yolks as a first food- of course she started it when I was 7 days old but aside from that I guess she knew what she was doing

I'm so interested in getting to the bottom of some contrasting information I've heard. On the one hand, some call animal foods "easy to digest" and grains as "hard to digest." On the other hand, some point to "bowel transit time" as an indicator of the relative ease/difficulty of digestion, and say that short bowel transit time is indication of ease of digestion. My INSTINCT (given what I know about the relative nutrient levels of animal vs. plant foods) would say that if it is true that animal foods take longer to get through the digestive system it could be because there are far more nutrients to digest, and so in that regard the longer bowel transit time would be a good thing.
What do you know about the idea of "bowel transit time" and whether short or long transit time means anything regarding nutrition and health?
Thanks for another great post!
bowel transit time is a hard thing to go by, because food as a whole can take up to 48 hours to be fully digested. Some keys to digestion – easy to digest is not necessarily a good thing. Simple sugars as opposed to complex carbohydrates are easy to digest, because it is already broken down to 1 sugar molecule. This is why if you eat a sugar packed meal or white breads, rices, etc. you tend to be hungrier sooner. Complex carbs are made up of more than one chain of sugar so they need to be broken down and then broken down a second time into sucralose (table sugar). This is a longer process which leaves you feeling fuller longer and helps to boost metabolism as well. I can't quite remember now how it works out for meats, which are mainly fats and proteins. Fat digestion starts as early as your mouth, as saliva begins to breakdown the fat molecules. Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated are the better fats. Saturated fats have no double carbon bonds hence the carbon is fully "saturated" with hydrogen. Fats are an essential part of the diet because they provide the body with energy. I do believe that fats move slowly through the digestive system, as do proteins
And not to mention the complications to digestion when inadvisable food combinations are taken. Carbs such as rice would produce a different microbial balance, when taken with, say, egg yolk or some "predigested liver" (as in ancestral cultures). And that would result in a more difficult digestion.
I also forgot about fiber – soluable and insoluable. Insoluable fibers do not get digested (good example is corn skin) soluable fiber like what you find in oatmeal is very good for cholesterol because it binds to bile and make the liver produce more bile which the body uses cholesterol to help the liver produce bile.

My grandmother told me to feed my first smashed up boiled egg yoke, I did. Years later I found out that egg yoke has great enzymes for baby's tummy… I think I'll stick with grandmas advice…

Sounds like the meat industry has powerful lobbyists there too…
I fed my first 2 vege's and meat. I had tried rice cereal with the first but he always spat it out. I didn't learn about better nutrition until I had my 3rd, and he had raw egg yolks from 6 months. All 3 ate huge amounts of avocado too, they could never get enough of it. I wonder, is this a good first food too? I always thought it to be. We had moved overseas to the netherlands before our 3rd was born, and I am constantly astounded by the nutritional advice given to parents here. From 6 months, parents are pushed to give brown bread with margarine as a first food. I was often asked why I was not giving my son bread, as it is important fibre that the baby needs for digestion! margarine is also pushed by child nutritionists, to give children the vitamin a & d they need. What a shame! there is so much beautiful grass fed butter here!
The reason for giving babies butter (I don't know if I'd give margarine, it's usually synthetic) is that fats in foods help to better absorb fat soluable vitamins. Complex carbohydrates are very good for digestion.
margarine is usually synthetic? I thought it was always synthetic – or are there genetically modified margarine producing cows now? I give my kids heaps of butter, I know its importance for absorbing the fat soluable vitamins. I merely was stating the advice given to parents here by the dutch children's health network. They advise to give margarine so that children will get the vit A & synthetic vit D that is added to it. No thanks.

I feel like the tides are turning for quality food advice and traditional cooking/nutrition. Maybe it's just in my mind, but when I hear that my sister bought a pasture-raised side-of-beef, I feel hope. Blogs like yours, Sarah, are making a difference. I read it frequently and have learn a lot. Thanks.
Wow, I'm impressed with with your children speaking full sentences prior to 1. I have an 11 month old who can barely get dada down appropriately. But I've never given cereal or grains to him. I tried baby led weaning and he's just not that interested in food (we still breastfeed.) It's a celebration when he actually swallows something, and that doesn't happen but every few days. But as they say "food for fun until one", I keep having to remind myself this.
Anyway, I have a question on how to feed meat to him. Do you puree it or just hand him a chunk. I've just handed him chuncks of meat and he sucks on them and tries to mess with them but never swallows anything. I've just recently tried a soft boiled egg yolk. Which btw, I'll also take tips on how to handle that a little easier. It's been a mess. And I just recently bought a frozen liver (will let freeze for 14 days just to be sure) to start giving him. So I guess my question is, how to you give the baby meat?
Thank you!
Sara has a video on how to do this, you should check it out! In short you grate the frozen liver with a cheese grater. I grated the whole frozen liver with a food processor and re-solidified in ice cube trays. This made serving it a matter of leaving a cube in the fridge to thaw the night before.
Shaniqua, as per food safety rules it is NOT safe to refreeze raw meat or other food once it has already been defrosted.
Your idea about grating frozen raw liver is a good one. Even easier is what our paleo ancestors would have done: Chew a small piece of meat a bit, then pop the chewed wad into baby's mouth. Yum! And perfect for toothless babies. (Except Sarah's remarkable kids, who had a full set of adult teeth by the age of 3.) But this would probably make modern moms a bit squeamish.
I eat plenty of healthy fats and my little began eating egg yolk at 6 months. She is almost 13 months and is not speaking. She started at 4 lb. 9 oz. 18.5″ (no known reason). She is now in the 90th percentile for height and about 20% for weight. She just does not seem as far along as my first two were by age 1. Maybe it went to making up lost ground? I don't know.

None of my three sons spoke a word before 21 months, yet they spoke 50 words by their 2nd birthdays, and it snowballed from there. They are very bright and do well in school now many years later. I think all babies develop a little differently and not to worry much about one area as long as other milestones are met.
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
Fantastic testimonial Caitlin. My three children were also all speaking sentences before age one even my 2 boys who are typically slower to learn to speak than girls. My first child I did feed rice cereal early unfortunately as I didn't know better at the time, but I was still breastfeeding and eating lots of fat even though it was pasteurized organic dairy (blech!). Now we only do raw dairy which is so much better and more digestible.
My next two children got egg yolks and bits of grated raw liver (frozen for 14 days prior to ensure safety) as their first foods and they did speak even earlier than my first.
Speaking sentences before they even turned one? That sounds completely impossible.
I think she must mean before age 2.
I've known babies who can speak *short* sentences before age one… it's not impossible, just uncommon.
My now 22 years old daughter sang the happy birthday song to herself the day she turned one!
And of course she spoke in sentences, living people around impressed.
I spoke in sentences before I was one. Just simple, two word sentences usually, but sentences none the less.
Annie Brinson
My son spoke/signed in sentences before age 1. And he was rice cereal at 4 months and on formula. It's not that uncommon.
Yes, it is impossible. Sarah is notoriously dishonest unfortunately. She has a lot of good ideas and suggestions about traditional diets but she just plan makes things up at times which is why I am done following her on FB. I think she just likes to write provocative articles to get lots of hits on her blog so that she makes money. Disappointing.
back that up.
Well to start on this particular lie here are ASHA's month by month development charts:
0-1 Year:
1-2 Years:
2-3 Years:
So to say a child is speaking in complete sentences before age 1 is simply fallacious. Anyone with young children can confirm this. So unless all of her children are prodigies then she is lying. To go through and highlight every instance in which she exaggerates or has made strong conclusions without backing them up would take way longer than I want to spend on this.
Michele Moore
I'm curious…what was the first food(s) you fed your children? I don't ask in judgment at all! I'm nearly 55, my kids are grown, and I have 4 grandsons. But I've learned so much since my kids were babies, and I can't even count the number of things I would have done differently had I known. Thank you for the work you do. I appreciate what I have learned and continue to learn from you.
Caitlin Bourne
With my fourth daughter I was unable to breast feed after 4 months so I was extremely careful about making homemade formula. At around six months I began adding a bright orange raw egg yolk from a pastured hen to her bottle every single day. Now at 11 months she is eating bits of meat and raw cheese (no grain, whatsoever) and some fruits and veggies, usually cooked with butter, as well as her bottle. She is BY FAR my earliest developed mentally. She takes commands and responds to questions with both intelligible words and signs and interacts with people on a greater level of understanding for her age compared to my other three. I credit the egg yolks!

My first 3 babies had quite a rough start with allergies, severe eczema, etc. I started them all on rice cereal because I didn't know any better then. I was also a vegetarian part of that time and very restricted in what I could eat while breastfeeding; seemed like everything bothered my babies. All 3 of my sons have had ongoing health struggles that are only now starting to resolve on GAPS, years later.
Soon after my twins (2nd and 3rd babies) were born, I discovered WAPF and gradually changed our family's diet. When the twins were 5, I gave birth to a much healthier son who still had allergies (my gut is not 100% healed yet), but did a whole lot better than his big brothers. I also had learned by then that rice cereal was a bad first food, so I fed him mostly liver (he couldn't tolerate eggs at first) for many months, with some muscle meat added in occasionally. He also got FCLO every day, from my milk and then directly, and plenty of bone broth and healthy fats.
This boy is now two years old, enjoys abundant health, and is far more intelligent and aware than his older brothers were at this age (and his brothers are/were not dummies). He is already able to read a lot of words and is eagerly learning more words each day … since when can a 2yo READ? I am in awe, and I'm certain that his diet has everything to do with this.
I can't wait to have another sweet baby to nourish like this. 😀
