I looked out of curiosity. They were on tv recently I think. They do seem happy but the lifestyle choices of the parents will have a life long impact on the children, perhaps for the worst. It would be interesting to be able to fast forward 25 years and see what choices the children make as adults.

Having read your post, I have no need to see it in action.

I watched this video out of curiosity and its lovely to see such a happy family but I disagree with almost every choice and statement they make.
Obviously this is their life choice and its a snapshot of their lives so maybe there is more that if I saw that I would feel better about their choices.
There were lots of points that I disliked but the one that hit home most was when they said their 7 year old had no need to read and write at that age.
When I look at our little ones who are so proud of their achievements in that area, who learn through their reading and not just from books. Who love to choose food from a menu, or pay at the till being able to check their change. All those little things in life that do need you to be able to read and write.
I think I was also quite horrified that the little girl walks outside in an urban environment with no shoes. Its one thing in your home or garden but pavements have all sorts of nasties on them and linking that to a lack of any type of vaccinations makes me quite sad.
And quite frankly , anyone who carries a placenta around for 6 days needs their head examined 
But I could be wrong , and this could be the way forward....or not ?
