oh monkey bread, how you thwart me!

"Children are the world's most valuable resource and its best hope for the future." ~ J.F.K

Happy Earth day!

Now on to the monkey bread. Last night we made monkey bread, sweet delicious, gooey yumminess that we all enjoyed thoroughly....and seriously within 5 minutes Boy was in his out of focus, can't be reasoned with mood....that quickly I saw the reaction to the milk, totally bizarre. It seems like now that we have been on the diet for a while, the more quickly I will notice a milk attack.

I understand the entire theory behind why this happens to some children and especially children on the spectrum, but seriously? That much of a reaction to just some simple milk? It makes me question the use of milk at all. Why do we as humans ingest the milk of a different species? That's totally weird.

Things that make you go hmmm.....

  1. Although some folks get weird about the idea of drinking another animals milk, it would be awkward to harvest that much human milk for consumption. (I'm sure there would be human rights violations there) Alternative milks, including soy, almond or rice can be made as effective, but require extensive processing. And just because someone reacts to cows milk doesn't mean they react to all milk, a friend can drink goats milk just fine. I think it might be more a result of our tinkering with the cows that provide the milk with hormones, antibiotics and genetically manipulated feed.
