I have already discussed somewhere around here how we broke the younger one of his overly picky eating habits. (I don't consider allowing mild levels of self-starvation to be child abuse, myself. They'll eat when they're hungry.) But the drinking/swallowing thing has proven to be much harder. Believe me, we've tried. What makes it hard is neither one of them "knows" how to swallow. I think it was HLJ who was mentioning the phenomenon--if you tell them to swallow, they just stare at you blankly. They aren't consciously aware of how the food gets down their throat. We've practiced chugging liquids so they can really feel each big swallow, but still I get the vacant look.

Yep. So if we actually ate a healthy, raw food diet, we wouldn't need to be constantly guzzling all this water.

WEll, if you juice, you get your food and water together! I recommend, "The Raw Food Diet" by Natalia Rose. I drink the Green Lemonade from there regularly. It's yummy, even if it does have kale in it.

I don't understand juicing. It seems like you're taking healthy food and then just removing all the fiber.

Yeah, me neither...unless it's the same as puree-ing, so the fiber's still in there.

Now, my wife used to take the fruit pulp, dry it, and make rabbit treats out it. But still, I'd rather get that fiber myself.
