I've got 2 kids. 1 month old and 18 month old. Wife and I didn't get the coof vax, started eating mostly locally raised meats and eggs off our land a year ago. Meat from a family that grows their own grain, hay, and alfalfa, then converts it to beef and pork. Our chickens that are ranged a time or two a week, and eat mostly scraps, sunflower seeds, and milo. There's a BSL box in their run that free feeds into a kiddie pool so they can't escape, and the chooks can eat them when they want. I have 200 siberian pea shrubs to supplement the chicken feed, but they aren't producing yet.

The developmental differences between our kids and kids of friends who eat grocery store food is noticeable. My kids are towards the top of their ages for weight, but not fatter than standard baby fat. My youngest just turned a month old and can already hold her head up for 10-15 seconds. She actively tracks with her eyes and her head. My oldest actually listens, and throws diapers and other trash away for us of his own accord, and helps me pull weeds in the strawberry patch and more. Again, this is a 1 month old and an 18 month old. Our friends with kids the same age are all at least a month behind developmentally.

Idk if I just hit the genetic jackpot with my wife, somehow we managed to be really good parents (I have no idea what I'm doing), or diet and sun exposure really help that much, but that's my anecdote for the night.
