"My problem with dairy is with the milk proteins and milk sugars. Many people are intollerant to these as our bodies stop manufacturing the enzymes to properly digest them once we are weaned. This is true for many animals. Milk works well for them until they are weaned and then they become intollerant. Some of us are able to delay this intollerance by continuing to drink milk well beyond the weaning stage. Just because we can do this doesn't seem to me to make it optimal. Once past the age of 3 I just don't believe that every body needs milk, and I think that there is a good bit of evidence that the opposite is true.
As for butter, as long as your talking pure fat I suppose butter works. I eat it on occasion when eating out becuase most of the meat available is too lean and butter is the most available fat. It's one of those "make the best choice you can" situations and I'd prefer the extra fat even if it is butter rather than overly lean meat which just doesn't satisfy."

You tested out this diet, which is believed by most of the world to be one that would cause sickness unto death, upon your child first?I see my family (uncle, aunt...etc. ) eats fried chicken or pizza or candies in front of him and he just looks at them but never asks. But at the same time if he is hungry and one of them eating a fresh fruit, he asks for that fresh fruit, not any cooked things. So, I guess he must be developing a sense. I never have any plans to put him those poisonous public schools. Probably Montesories or other type of schooling is good for him. He's now four. But planning to put him in school after five.
Why would you not test it out on yourself first to make sure it was safe before feeding something considered so deathly to your child?
Mother's instinct! I get that feeling by reading an old book that beef juice is very healthy for sick people. My child was ill and had blood deficiency. After hearing that beef juice, I was too much into making raw beef juice and all I was doing from internet searching. Because, my son was raw vegan from his birth and then raw vegetarian. I just don't want him to give any cooked food and cooking meat is the only thing that prevents me to give him meat and make him just raw vegetarian . That means I only used to give him raw eggs, raw vegetables juice and fresh fruit smoothies. In one point I trust raw meat more than anything else and feed my child that. After I introduced him raw meat, he asked for raw meat even more then his favorite orange juice. So even his 1st try, he likes raw meat so much that he asked for it instead of freshly queezed orange juice. After that I get more curious about raw meat and discover this raw paleo forum.
Other than that, how are you going to deal with your child going to school, if he goes to a public school, and preventing him from eating any of the school food or candy that he will come across? I know when I was in elementary school, teachers often gave candy as a reward for getting answers correct, and they sold pizza once a week.. once getting into middle and high school, then they sold pizza and soda every single day. If all your friends and everyone else around you is eating it everyday, you're probably going to eat it too. Although, I wonder if growing up on a raw diet would cause him to dislike the taste of cooked foods and junk foods and soda and candy?
Or will you not be sending him to public school?
So he doesn't eat carbs every day? Once in a week, a month or only in the summer?He absolutely doesn't eat any veggies. But I put him on bath with wild grass and wild dandelion leaves juice on the water. He doesn't like honey. Almost a pound of meat/other organs, fats (brain, bone marrows, ducks and chicken eggs, tongue, eyes), he consumes. That's all. Whenever he gets a chance wild berries or blueberries, he eats. He loves seeded water melons. Oranges time to time (once or twice a week). His language (we speak couple of different languages at home) development is slow, but every other thing is normal.
Does he eat some veggies, honey?
How much protein does he eat on average? Any organ-meats?
What about his cognitive development?
