Guest guest Posted December 10, 2002 Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 Dear All Just a quick message to say 'hi' and 'happy holidays' to those of you who remember me from my few visits to Seattle the year before last. I enjoyed meeting you all very much and hope to see you again next year at Portland? If so, I will also be happy to introduce my new little son to you all, Luke, who is a glowing raw baby, currently 3 months old : ) I really enjoyed my trips to Seattle and I made lots of great friends, some of whom are on this list, and are still in my thoughts and heart even though we are out of touch all these miles away, but I can't wait to get back to the States and see you all again next year. Anyways, in the meantime, I've been busily working on The Fresh Network website, which I hope you have come across before now (if not, please go take a look right now!!!), and I'm hoping that some of you will help us out (and by 'us' I mean the whole raw food community worldwide), by either submitting a recipe, or passing on a good website link (list your favourites), or - even better - submitting some good places to eat, shop or visit in any part of the world, as we are compiling 'the raw fooder's guide to the world', country by country, city by city. A massive project as you can appreciate, but I hope some of you have the time and inclination to assist if possible. There'll be lots of other ways to network on the site some time after Christmas, as well as loads more recipes and helpful hints and tips (avocado section) so please keep checking back. If you like the site and want to receive monthly bulletins regarding latest news and updates, please to the FreshNews ebulletin, details of which you can find in the red section. (The thing I love about our site is that, although yes there is an online shop, we are predominantly about HELPING raw foodists whatever stage they are at, and wherever they live on Planet Earth, so I feel OK about asking for help ; ) Any questions, comments or suggestions, please don't hesitate! We are fortunate to have a beautiful website and we want it to be completely comprehensive so that it can serve you guys as much as it currently serves the UK. Love to all Karen Karen Knowler www.fresh-network.com PS: Did you know we also publish what some consider to be the best magazine on raw foodism in the world???! It's called Get Fresh!, is published 4x a year, and has Dr Doug Graham, Gabriel Cousens MD, Roz Gruben, Nomi Shannon and many others as regular columnists. Victoria Boutenko joins us from this coming issue. See orange section for more details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Thanks for forwarding that request for me. This family is a very healthy Vegan family but the State is trying to say it's their Vegan diet that has made their son sick and have taken him away. I believe they are now trying to find problems with the girls as well. please could you read their story and forward on to as many Vegan/vegetarian list and groups as possible. http://www.patriotsaints.com/MyChildMyChoice/cases/MatthewThaxton/inde x.html http://www.lifesave.org/FamilyVsState.htm, www.lifesave.org and http://www.PetitionOnline.com/thaxton/ They will probably loose their home with what it's costing them already to fight this. It's a tragedy. So please spread the word and if anyone knows of where they can find a board certified Pediatrician in Utah that is okay or supportive of Vegan/vegetarian life styles please let me know.
