I cannot say enough how much I support you in butterfressing. Ever heard of Yogurt butter? Absolute nectar of the gods, best eaten on fresh German bread. Good on you.

Good for you Laura! I can't wait to hear all the great advice I know you will give. We try to eat everything REAL. I just love my farm fresh milk! What upsets me the most is all of the new "organic" or "healthy" foods that have hit the market lately. Just because it says it's organic/healthy doesn't mean it is. A friend of mine started buying the whole wheat white bread for her kids, thinking it was so much healthier than the white bread. When I made her read the ingredients it was made with the same "enriched flour" that the white bread was! Not a bit healthier! Store bought bread it horrible for you - It is loaded with preservatives to keep it fresh until you get it. Well, I guess that's my soap-box! Woohoo!! Good for you Laura!

You have a lot of folks interested in hearing more including myself! I am very interested to hear more about how to make it happen, I'm already all for REAL food, it is getting harder and harder to find real food and not to mention fitting it into a budget. I have to feed a lot of people a lot of food and really want it it be real food. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to reading more! Wow!

That's why I prefer to cook from scratch. However, I disagree about eating dairy products. I'm reading "The China Study" by T. Colin Campbell (available from Amazon.com). I'm discovering what science tells about fats and proteins from animal sources. And I'm convinced that fats and proteins from plant sources are the healthiest fats and proteins.

I absolutely agree with you. It is so easy to get confused about what is healthy and what is not these days. The worst way to learn is to watch mainstream media (that goes for any topic). I just say if it's a chemical, I don't want it in me or my kids. I also live in a state where buying raw milk is illegal and have considered getting goats or a cow. I think this is a great topic to continue with. Great post Laura.

I have done some pretty extensive research on the lives of people in the 1800s and the truth is they worked long, hard physical hours... if you do that (as in the first or second commenters quote about her grandparent farmers) you can indeed eat just about anything you want, because you are burning more calories than you are consuming. The problem is, in my opinion, people want to sit in front of their computer at work and then their tv all evening and wonder why they are gaining weight. It's very simple. If you eat more calories than you burn, you gain weight. Less calories, and you lose weight. And it doesn't matter whether those are processed or unprocessed calories... so I try to choose the unprocessed and just eat less!
