I think Peter has some valuable points, I too think that if you follow the "Kushi standard diet" there is a big risk of getting osteoporosis and other problems, not least in children. In the book "Raising Healthy Kids" by Michio and Aveline Kushi it is said that "Fish can be enjoyed occasionally by older children. A small portion of white meat, non-faty fish may be given from time to time, on an average of once a week".

I think this is a dangerous recommendation. From where is the children supposed to get omega 3 (fatty acid) for instance? About oils it is said "Oil is difficult to digest unless it is cooked with salt." That excludes flax seed oil which is sensitive to heat (and would be a possible source of omega 3).

Personally I eat much more fish and egg compared to the recommendations, and I feel much better from this. I also feel better when I avoid cows milk.
