Frederick is learning to be very gentle with animals particularly after our new rule:
If you kill it, you eat it.
It is only a matter of time before this rule will be used against my mother who tries to control the local mouse population.

Rebuild from Depression
Endorsements
The best book on postnatal depression and food I've seen is Rebuild from Depression, by Amanda Rose, who understands the condition from bitter experience.
Nina Planck,
Author of Real Food
Rebuild from Depression is going to be a very important book. Its dissection of the role of diet and nutrition is well-researched and an eye-opener.

About
Amanda Rose, Ph.D., is a political scientist and author of "Rebuild from Depression," on the link between nutrient deficiencies and depression. She has been depression-free for over four years, even during the recent pregnancy of her second child. Read her postpartum depression success story.
Depression buster foods
From an analysis of over 5,000 foods in the USDA nutrient database, "depression buster foods" are the foods highest in combination of the seven nutrients most commonly associated with depression. Brains need nutrients to be healthy, particularly those nutrients in these foods for depression. The depression buster food list is published in the book "Rebuild from Depression." A subset are displayed here in the depression buster photo album.
Omega 3 foods
Omega 3 fatty acids are critical for brain health and they are disappearing in the Western diet. You need to consume more Omega 3s and fewer Omega 6s. These photos and descriptions of Omega 3 foods will offer you some guidance. Omega 3 fatty acids are one nutrient that helps fight depression. Read more about the Rebuild philosophy on depression-fighting foods.
Food science graphs
For food science junkies, here is a graph archive based on peer review studies presented on this blog. Each graph has a general explanation and provides a quick link to more detailed discussion.

Gill on the Hill:
Life after depression
There really is life after depression. I am so excited by that point, in fact, that I neglect this blog and find fun/quirky projects to do with my family. We live in the Sequoia National Forest in a house (and former brothel) designed by Irving Gill. My 7-year-old son Frederick and I chronicle our adventures at Gill on the Hill when we're not exploring. Frederick posts some of his homeschool projects at "Frankly Frederick."

LOL, how sweet, reminds me of the local Bunjalung (Aboriginal people's) law: No Greed, No Lying, No Fighting cause if you fight you might kill and you have to eat what you kill. My kids say the same to me when I kill the pestilent Cane toads. I try to explain I'm saving our native green frogs.
I didn't know you had a child (have only been following for a while). Perhaps you could share some of your wisdom regarding children and food choices at my blog. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

You did open up a can of worms over there!
The man cub is a big part of my story. My depression started almost as soon as I was pregnant and continued just about forever. At least that's how it felt.
