Being new to this i printed M.K's site and followed her lead. I also went from Jan S. site also. At first i would go armed to the store with my list in hand of what to buy for Lizzy, now after over a year I have it memorized. I seldom give banana's but do give mango, small amounts. I found those sites to be very helpful, also the folks on this board.

In Reply to: food:so many people use different things???.... posted by IG27 on March 02, 2000 at 14:46:45:

: I was just reading the big variety of food people use and some conflict with MK's website?
: I noticed zucchini,broccoli, and carrots were considered terrible by MK. Kale, boy chok, and yellow
: squash should only be used sometimes, not that often. I see everyone is in aqreement with the greens, but
: MK don't suggest putting them in the main salad, just as a side item? She had the salad consisting of grean beans, snap beans, or snow peas!
: An orange veggie(butternut, acorn, or Kaboucha squash, sometimes sweet potato! Small amount of fruit, long list, but grapes were on the list, bannana's won't?
: Something for protein/color--only mentioned a parsnip, if not in season use asparagus? Then protein, consisting of crushed alfalfa(rabbit food) but also mentioned subbing
: a commercial food just so it contained alfalfa and low amounts of other stuff! Mentioned other items that could be added to a basic salad, not subbed, like
: mushrooms, peppers, yellow squashes, etc.... Then suggested putting the leafy greens on the side, not actually mixing them in the salad?
: Is all of MK's suggestions correct? Then why do a lot of people use so many different variations and which is more correct? Thanks.
