o Who Says Good Nutrition Means Animal Fats?
Weston A. Price.

THEN . . . AND NOW?
These foods could have graced the table a century ago. Here's why the Weston A. Price Foundation believes they're right for today:

Sauerkraut. Fermentation was used to preserve foods. The resulting enzymes, lactic acid and beneficial bacteria may aid digestion.

Raw Milk. Unpasteurized milk retains fragile proteins and beneficial bacteria and preserves vitamins. The foundation calls it a 'magic bullet.'

Butter. Vitamins in butterfat help the body absorb essential minerals. The foundation recommends spreading butter 'so thick you can see teeth marks.'

Fish Roe. High in vitamins A and D, important fatty acids and zinc, it may support fertility and successful pregnancy.

Chicken Liver Pâté. Highly prized in traditional cultures, liver is rich in fat-soluble vitamins A and D as well as essential fatty acids.

Bone Broth. A basis of classical cooking, it may provide nutrients for healthy bones and cartilage and help heal the digestive tract.
