    No the whole Country is vegetarian. :D Just kidding. ;) No I really like meat, one child was vegetarian but I talked him back into eating meat. Just wondered what the whole process was is all.

    So do you drive the cow to the butcher and lead him to the door and the butcher kills them? I am thinking they would be pretty heavy to get off a truck otherwise? I think chooks would eat all the offal too, mine certainly would they eat anything! About how much does it cost to have them do...

    I'm not sure I really want to know, no I do. I am interested so don't get too gory on me but the cows you kill, how does one kill a cow? Then what do you kill them for? Food? What's the process like do you have a massive freezer for it? Cut it up? What about the furry bits? I am...

    When you say lint do you mean the stuff the dryer collects when your drying your clothes? If so I have so much of that and with 5 people heaps of toilet rolls!

    I googled and they look to be a tropical mite, so fortunetly we don't seem to have them in the town I am in either! But next time I go to QLD I will know to be careful!

    Healthy Fats and Oils.......IMO!

    Yep I totally agree with this statement. Iv never said unsat fats are a problem and eat them daily. But most of your other statements I just cannot see the reasoning in them. Anyway I agree with others a balanced diet is the best way to go and cutting out a whole food unless you have a good...

    Healthy Fats and Oils.......IMO!

    I got my information of the cartons of milk in the fridge, we have both and I didn't even look at carbs, quiet frankly I didn't really care about them, I was asnswering your commnet that skim milk is all sugar when that is NOT the case. All they do is skim the fat off. But just as a side note...

    Can you train a cow? That sounds like fun! I'm thinking a hornet is a cross between a bee and a wasp? They don't like water? My son ran up to me yesterday, he likes to hug me 20 times a day and tell me how much he loves me but this time did it just as I was bent over in the pantry with the...

    Healthy Fats and Oils.......IMO!

    Actually no, that's incorrect too. I'm comparing them as I type here in front of me is still exactly the same amount of calcium (the sole reason I drink milk) and in fact there is LESS sugar than your full fat milk:D so yeah not sure where you got that info from but it's also wrong.

    Breastfeeding

    I still feed Kyan at 4 years. I fed the others until 2 years as WHO recommends. Those that are going to feed generally keep it up until 12 months over here. many until 2 years, There are heaps on the BF forum that extend feed until over 4 years. The benifits don't stop at a particular age.

    Breastfeeding

    Love it! Beekissed I had a read, I am on a breastfeeding forum and have seen it all before most of the ladies I know will use breastmilk for conjunctavitis and cuts and if they have suplus left over would using in cooking for their LO's but this would be the rarity as it's not all that easy to...

    Healthy Fats and Oils.......IMO!

    That's still pretty debatable, as majority of studies prove that high fat diet will kill you eventually. All the quotes on millions of years ago we lives on meat and high fat as a bit irrelevant. They slept out in the cold and worked hard chasing food all day of course they are going to need...

    Healthy Fats and Oils.......IMO!

    BTW I don't disagree that sugar free is the way to go, I prefer sugar, and I eat butter but low fat butter made with skim. I cook with full fat butter but always in olive oil forstuff that needs frying, although I have to say frying isn't done much here. I don't like aspartames or colours in...

    Yes but how often do you hike at high altitude and belly dance? I am talking about althletes that train every day. I would consider myslef I that range, I train 1 hour weights, 2 hours cardio and then another 45 mins walking another 45 minutes Yoga. Then every second day do a good 1.5 hours...
