Feeding Children.
One of the most important findings of Dr. Price’s research involves showing the absolutely disastrous effects the modern diet has on growing children. Raising children has probably always been a difficult job, but keeping children well-nourished in our modern world has its own unique challenges.
As parents who follow the teachings of the WAP Foundation, we are constantly struggling to keep our children eating well. Restaurants, schools, childcare, birthday parties, holidays with family and other events all force us to either sacrifice our principals or risk having our children resent our control over what foods they can eat. This event is intended to provide all of the fun without the sacrifice.
Everyone is welcome and encouraged to come, whether you have young children or not. This is an opportunity to support local parents and the next generation of healthy children (and try some tasty food yourself!). And I am sure that parents of young children will appreciate any good NT recipes or tips from parents who’s children are grown.
Bring Something to Share
Please bring a Nourishing Traditions-style nutrient-dense dish to feed growing children, and join us for some great food and fun! Families and guests are welcome. Please bring enough food to feed the size of your party, as well as your recipe on a 3×5 card or notepaper (Please include your name, and the source of the recipe. Be sure to give them to Lisa at the end of the evening).
To avoid the possibility of too many sweet treats, we ask that any desserts you bring be accompanied by a dish that features meat and/or vegetables with plenty of healthy fats. Thanks.
Please RSVP:
Because of the nature of this event, we need to have at least a rough idea of how many people to expect. Please RSVP if you think you might be attending.
