Think your kids won’t eat raw oysters? Do they turn up their noses at liver and onions? You need to read this post.
I had the most interesting conversation with Ceci, the woman who owns our daughter’s daycare. She has a few secret tricks up her sleeve to get kids — any kid — to eat anything.
Yes, liver. And yeah, tripe. And, yep, pretty much anything else you can imagine that you think a child would never eat. Octopus. Natto. Pancreas. You name it. All those super-nutrient-dense foods that are going to give your kiddos high cheekbones, a wide, beautiful face, and perfectly straight teeth.

We just got back from our Christmas trip to visit family in Texas. I had the most interesting talk with the woman sitting next to me on the plane. I feel compelled to share it with you all.
I love talking to immigrants from so-called “developing countries”. I can spend hours talking with them. Why? Because I want to know how they did things in their country, how they ate, how they cooked, what their family’s health was like.

I took my daughter her to the pediatrician the other day for year two-year check up. I was shocked to find out that she is slightly anemic. 10-12 is normal; she’s an 8.
This was surprising to me, considering that Kate is the only toddler I know who loves raw oysters (high in iron) and eats them every chance she can get. Still, she eats oysters only occasionally — once a week or once every two weeks. And she never eats liver anymore. I tried giving her some chopped liver the other day and she spit it out.

If you read my blog regularly, you know we eat a lot of shellfish. Particularly mollusks, such as oysters, clams, and mussels. I try to feed my family mollusks (usually oysters) once a week.
It was after I read Nina Planck’s wonderful book, Real Food, that I decided that we needed to eat more shellfish. Shellfish [...]

I’m really excited about doing [...]

There’s a great post on Chris Masterjohn’s blog, Cholesterol and Health, about food and fertility:
Butterfat contains arachidonic acid. As detailed in my PUFA Report, arachidonic acid is critical to fertility in both men and women. In men, it is necessary for the production of testosterone and sperm. In women, it is necessary for ovulation, and [...]

When you know how good liver is for you, you’re always looking for ways to eat more of it.
As a former Texan (not native, but I moved there when I was seven), I love Mexican food. I’m the kind of person who always orders “extra jalapenos” for my nachos.
If you’re like me and you love [...]
