In this episode, we run the gamut from sharing health resources, pathologically delicious food vs real food, and palette formation to old food traditions and recipes. We answer the question: How important is fleeing the city and starting a homestead as a Christian family? Plus plenty of rabbit trails like the importance of the medieval pig, how conventional health is fear-based, how isolating in our family is impossible, how real food isn't debatable; it's dogma, and our general health plan. Stay tuned for episodes 106 and 107 for the details of exactly how we fought pertussis without antibiotics.
