This can be tricky, because you don't want kids to feel deprived or to reinforce their insistence on eating cooked food. So do it on a gradient. The best way is to make a lot of delicious raw dishes which they enjoy andwant to eat. Usually this means desserts at first. Raw desserts are made of healthy filling ingredients - usually it’s just fruits, spices, nuts, and dates or honey. so you can give them a piece of raw cake for dessert, for a snack, or even for a meal.

In a nutshell, raw foodists eat: fresh, raw fruits and vegetables as well as seeds, nuts and some soaked or sprouted grains. There are unlimited recipes and dishes which are made from these ingredients, including: pates, loafs, "noodles", cakes, cookies, crackers, soups, salads and marinades. Raw Foodists do not have to eat only salads! Not usually. Some raw foodists in a transition period will choose to eat things like mahi tuna or steak tartar, but after awhile they usually stop.

Yes, raw food is exactly what you should be eating if you're ill. Many illnesses come from lack of usable nutrition in the food you're eating, or an over stressed digestive system which is not doing it's job properly and is putting strain on the rest of the body, making you more likely to get sick. Eating raw allows your digestive system to clean itself out, and gives your body the nutrition it needs to rebuild and heal itself. However, you still have to use common sense.

Red wine contains antioxidants, especially when made from pinot noir grapes. Burgundy, Bordeaux and grapes grown in Chilean valleys are especially rich them. Although these antioxidants have been linked with helping to lower the rate of heart disease, it is actually the alcohol in red wine which helps to relax blood vessel walls and has this potentially protective effect. This means that beer, spirits and other alcoholic drinks have the same effects and therefore are also 'good' for the heart.

It’s not unusual for kids to reject certain foods and most have definite likes and dislikes. Offer them a range of foods, prepared in different ways. Be creative as it may be that they will eat the same food in one form, but not another.

Lead by example, whenever you can, sit down and eat with them and make sure you are all eating the same meal.

No, you do not NEED to eat all organic to be raw. I personally reccomend eating as much organic food as possible.

Klee Kai love kids and do great with them as long as the child has been taught to respect the dog and not tease it. These dogs are small enough that an out of control child could cause serious damage. Most Klee Kai would give a child enough leeway that the child could cause serious damage before the dog could run. Good owners make good dogs. They do seem to have this sixth sense about the intentions of a child and will usually avoid a child with bad intentions.
