I think that picture sums it up. Why is my daughter (Sophia) naturally attracted to butter? Why does she get so excited to have some butter when I bring it out? Well, the answer lies with how healthy it is. Lets listen to the health experts at the Weston A. Price Foundation explain why butter has always been a healthy choice.
As we sat in our classrooms as children we were praised for simply regurgitating the answers that our teachers wanted to hear. Information was laid down by the teacher and the "right answer" reflected the same information. That cycle really does subvert independent thought at every turn and it holds plenty of potential for abuse, especially if the information is wrong.
In school we were taught things like how Cortez conquered ancient Mexico but it was rare for students to discuss if that was fair or how it must have felt like to be invaded like that or how our governments are still involved in similar acts today. Very few independent thinking assignments were given to me as a student and if they were I was always marked according to "the right answer". There was always a part of my spirit that knew the information I was receiving was a little biased and therefore my school years reflected my spiritual turmoil.
To be healthy we really have to re-teach ourselves to think independently. Just start with simply questions.
Have you ever heard of a lion having a heart attack because they ate too much red meat? Why did lions at a New York zoo become extremely ill when white meat was subbed in for red meat? Why is it illegal to sell un-pasteurized butter but not illegal for pregnant women to smoke? (I have actually observed 2 pregnant women smoking lately) If cows get their calcium from grass (enough calcium in fact to make their own bones strong and produce milk for their offspring) why all the static about needing milk to get calcium. If cholesterol is bad for us why is breast milk loaded with cholesterol? Are we to assume mother nature got it wrong? Your answers will show you that illusion is king and reality is often scoffed at.
When our schooling provides no incentive for independent thought, not thinking can become a concrete habit. Habits are hard to break as we all know. Think more about your health, even if your thoughts are not the "right answers". It is hard to believe the modern information is right when the results are so wrong. It is just common sense. Listen to your inner voice and let your results guide you.

I think your daughter is so lucky to get such a good healthy start at life. Not many can say the same for there own kids, or their own childhood. Most people that live healthy lives these days could be so much healthier if only they had never been "contaminated" by all thejunk that todays media call "healthy" options
