Very interesting article, I liked it. If any of the school guys and gals are suffering from asthma or allergies they may want to visit <a href="http://www.asthmaallergiestreatment.com/allergy-medicine-16/"> Allergy Medicine</a> for some tips.

good article esp re good fats - coconut oils and butter - both very nutritious foods as is all saturated fat - cream should also be included esp if kids are not eating cheese or milk (which by the way is very good and rarely a problem if it is raw-- the enzymes are present for aiding digestion and the bacteria for replenishing gut flora, pasturising destroys all enzymes, hardens the calcium and denatures the protein making it difficult to digest completely thus causing problems -for further info go to www.westonaprice.org - see also bone or mineral broths and fermented foods both extremely important for gut health which for so many children today is not good. They are suffering the heavy cost of antibiotic use not just in the children but their mothers too --babies receive their gut flora from their mothers vaginas during birth --and also the total lack of fermented foods and beverages in the western diet.

I'd just like to comment on the above reply from Steve re asthma as a Buteyko Practitioner of 11 yrs there is truly nothing nothing better for helping asthmatics. I am also a reg nurse, homebirth midwife, herbalist and nutritionist and whilst I certainly include nutrition (one can not breathe well if not eating well) it is the correction of breathing that is the cornerstone of asthma management . ALL asthmatics over breathe and this needs to be reduced to relieve an asthmatic of their symptoms.

I am sorry, but the protein breakfasts that are suggested sound truly disgusting and while i do not feed my children sugary cereal, I really cannot see the enjoyment in eating refried protein from a previous meal, and as for the thought of a fried egg on oatmeal.....yuk. If we are to feed our children better we have to consider the taste and desirability of the foods, not just the nutrition.

Gillian, sorry you didn't like my breakfasts - not even the almond butter on rye crackers? What kind of high protein breakfasts would you feed your children? Perhpas you'd like to contribute some alternatives.

Thank you!

I agree totally with Gillian. You want them to actually eat, right? And I believe dairy is an important food that we need to give our children. It has other vitamins and minerals in it that help, rather than hurt. We could have children without colds and ear infections, but what about their bone growth?
