Did anybody watch Wife Swap last night?????

That is exactly what I was thinking. I would become a vegetarian. I'm not a veggie fan but it would be easier then eating raw meat. What I don't get is they were eating raw chicken. Wouldn't they get semenella (sorry don't know how to spell it) poisoning from that?

Well theoretically ALL chicken is not contaminated with salmonella so you could technically eat it and not get infected, if you're lucky. Still, who would chance it? Not me!

I am sure there will be a re-run, just stay tuned, well it was a shocker. I am with you. I normally don't watch the program, but my mom had it on and it looked interesting so I watched it with her. I am just very surprised by it all. The wife that switched to the family in the country was not happy about eating raw meat. In fact she didn't eat it at all and she objected so many times. Pablo Positive Plus for you :)

The thing is we didn't see how the cooked food affected her. She may have gotten sick too and we just didn't see it. I think the father and kids got sick becuase their first cooked meal was burgers and fries. That is alot of greasy food to ingest when you are used to eating nothing but raw foods. The change in diet was too drastic. Please no one get mad at me for what I am about to say. It's like when you change your dog's brand of food. You cannot completely change the food in one meal because it can cause your dog to get really sick. You have to gradually introduce the new food over 3-5 feedings until you get the dog completely changed over in order to avoid the dog getting sick. That family went from a totally raw food diet to high-fat, greasy, cooked food in one meal. Of course they got sick. Haven't you ever eaten anything new that you weren't used to eating and gotten sick? I tried the raw food thing (fruits and veggies only) and the first week or so I was really sick. My doctor told me it was the complete and drastic change in diet. I didn't last on the raw food diet. I was always hungry!!

Yes i seen it. That is so gross eating raw meat. What i want to know is how come the father and the 2 kids got sick after eating normal cooked food when the wife that got swapped didnt get sick when she went out to eat and ate normal food. i think they was faking it because she would have got sick too wouldnt you think?

Oh yeah I forgot about the clay and butter toothpaste. YUCK!! And yes at 2 am everyday the mother would make them wake up and drink this spoiled milk stuff and then go back to bed. Her theory was if you don't eat every 5 hours your body goes into anorexic shock. Please.........

I forgot to talk about having to eat every 5 hours. Raw food diets are not very filling. You eat a lot of stuff, but it is digested and expelled very quickly. Most people who live on raw food diets (lots of info on the internet) eat every 3-5 hours because they get really really hungry a lot. There are a lot of health benefits to a raw food diet too. It's not what we consider a normal diet, but it is the same diet that was around for centuries before man got wise to cooking his food. The only thing I really had a problem with on the show was the farm mother's belief that drinking water was actually going to hurt you. Our bodies are made up mostly of water so we need water to stay alive.

I was surprised at that too. Isn't there any laws in the states about keeping your kids out of school. I mean they had no friends, nothing. The boy looked to be about 14 and the girl 12 or so. I felt sorry for them. The boy was so emotional you could tell it was taking a tole on him.

There are laws in all states regarding school, but you can always remove your child from school and say that you are homeschooling your child. The law protects your right to homeschool. That is how they get around sending their children to school.

They live out in the country so I am sure they are homeschooled? Plus the family has their own farm so I am sure they are killing their own animals. Therefore, they can control how it is killed and if the animal is sick then they aren't going to eat it. I am not sure if it is weird because I think each person can live how he or she wants, but I am still wondering why the parents didn't let them go to school. It was a little sad :(. Pablo Positive plus comment for you, lingli :D

Well I think that is definitely their intention to put extreme opposites together cause it makes the show more interesting and ratings will soar. If they were too much alike I wouldn't watch it.

The city wife actually made all of them go to the doctor to get checked out. You never really get any of the results though. The farm dad did tell the doctor that since the family switched to this diet none of them had gotten sick. I got the feeling that they have built up a quite a resistance to bacteria. They had a nutritionist come in to the doctor's office to tell them that she would never tell anyone to eat that kind of diet. The father kept asking her if she had proof that the diet was bad. I think he felt he "won" the discussion because the nutritionist said she had no research to say that their diet was harmful.

Yeah I hear that heroes is really good but I haven't watched it yet. She believed the Apocalpyse was coming and she was saving all kinds of food so that they could survive.

Oh let us know when it is suppose to air so we can all watch it and then discuss it. That would be really neat.
