i'm not a mother, or a doctor (although i hope to be an ND in the future). in fact i'm only 16. i happen to be the daughter of a wonderful woman, who (although skeptical) about raw foodism is accepting and supportive. so i understand the importance of support from family, and hope that you can foster support from your own family somehow.
i can only offer you moral support, and admiration, considering the incredible good you are doing for your daughter. from what i know, children that are fed this way from birth are much less likely to be compuslive eaters, not even mentioning the innumerable health benefits.
if i may make a suggestion, as this helped me, organize a raw food dinner party for your close friends and family. prepare your favorite foods, and prove to them that it is more than "just salad".
lend your sister some raw food literature, or suggest she log on to thegardendiet.com to see shining examples of healthy and thriving children on a raw diet.
good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!
