Milk Does NOT Do A Body Good

I took a break from my healthy eating this weekend (Happy 4th!) to enjoy a few of my favorites: Cinnamon rolls, (Hot out of the oven. They're never the same after they cool :) Ice cream, 1 bacon and 2 sausage, (I consider pork an unhealthy food), and Krustez pancakes with butter sauce, (Yum!) and that was it really from Friday night until the present time and I feel satisfied and done. (In fact I think the pork is causing an issue. I've got a stomach ache.)
I was chatting with my husband last night about how I haven't had any cravings for things that I normally do. The only thing on that list that I REALLY wanted was the cinnamon rolls and other then that, I just chose to indulge because I wanted to not because I felt I NEEDED to. I would contribute that to the increase of fruits and veggies that I have added to my diet and I have to thank our traveling co-op for that. I have loved it!
I mentioned earlier that I was reading a book called 'Natural Cures "They" Don't Want You to Know About' by Kevin Trudeau. I've learned so much and there are so many things that I want to change in my families lifestyle and diet. My wish is that I had a much larger food budget each month so that I could purchase all organic and fresh foods. I would love to buy organic and kosher meats and dairy products. One switch that we are going to make is with our milk. I don't think I can give up dairy entirely so we'll take it one step at a time. I've tried some rice and almond milk in the past and I love almond milk! It's really good! In fact I didn't drink or use any milk during my pregnancy with Kaylee except in cooking.
I never really knew how bad homogenization was for our bodies. Here's an article that I found that explains what happens when milk is homogenized. It's amazing how hard the Dairy Industry has pushed the idea on the public that you need dairy to be healthy. They've done a great job with all their campaigning and such to get people to eat and drink dairy products at the expense of their own health. Here's another article that's a good read. I have never wanted to own a dairy cow before in my life... in fact when I finished my last year of 4-H I swore that I never would, but now I do. I want to be able to make my own yogurt, butter and cheese and have fresh whole milk in my fridge that hasn't been messed up by the greed of the dairy industry. You should read that book, seriously. There are things that he suggests that I either don't agree with, don't want to do, or simply can't afford to do but as with any book, I just take what I can use and leave the rest. It's been quite informative and educational and I recommend it. That man has gotten so much opposition for the industries that he's fighting it's amazing he continues to do what he is. You can get a copy of it for as little as $2 on-line. My health is so important to me but making some of these changes has been hard and I know it's not going to all happen for me over night but it will get easier if I just keep on going.
