Weston A. Price/ Nourishing Traditions

Hi Celestia, I hope this is still your email address. I have been on a path of trying to eat healthily through mostly a vegan diet with meat sparingly, etc. Basically I have followed the teachings of Dr. Christopher, Traci Sellers, & Green Smoothie Girl. I have had the Nourishing Traditions book for some years now and have just always dismissed it because it is basically opposite of what I have learned. However, recently, I for some reason decided to pick it up again and try reading the beginning of it to see what it’s about. I think it was all the hype lately that I have seen about it why I decided to read some on it. Anyways, I had never read the sections on Protein and Milk/Dairy before and after reading it tonight I’m curious to find out some of your and other lds people’s take on it. My main concern is that in D&C we are told that we should only eat meat sparingly and “it pleases Him if we do not eat it at all only in times of cold, winter, or famine. ” I also think about Daniel’s diet and how he showed the “healthier” way of eating. I guess I’m a little confused after reading some of the book tonight and I’m very passionate about trying to feed my family as the word of wisdom says the best we can and strive to be the healthiest naturally. The things I read about in the NT book tonight made sense but I just couldn’t keep wondering about the word of wisdom, the things I’ve learned and felt were true from the resources listed above, etc. I guess what I’m looking for is a discussion from another lds mom that I think is a firm believer in the Weston a price diet so that I can learn and try to figure things out of what I feel is right/wrong too. I would greatly love to hear what you have learned and why you feel this way of eating is the healthiest and how you think it relates to the word of wisdom. Thank you in advance! : )
