I just thought that this is important for those of you that may know of

people involved with this...

 

Here is an email that I got from the rawfamily newsletter.........

 

 

Dear Friends,

 

There is an email that is being circulated about having raw food families

appear on a reality based television show. Many people are unaware of the

possible negative consequences that accompany such an offer.

 

 

 

Three months ago this TV company from New York called me several times and

asked for the addresses of raw families in the US. They promised $2,000 to

me if I help them find one and $20,000 to the participating family. I

replied to them that while there were probably hundreds of raw families in

this country it was unlikely that any raw family would want to be exposed.

Now, as the word is out, I am concerned for some raw families who might

agree to participate for the sake of money.

 

 

 

Just last weekend I was in Eugene and met my friend Nancy B., whose

ex-husband (a former raw foodist) is suing her for " improperly " feeding her

two boys (ages 7 years and 2 years). Both boys have developed well

according to their doctor but she is afraid to live at home and is living in

her van.

 

 

 

It is not just a fear, it is a reality. Raw food is not officially

recognized yet. Since 2005 my family has been financially and

psychologically supporting five different families whose children were

attempted to be taken (or were taken) away by authorities. If similar

children will get exposed, there will be some viewers out of millions that

would want to help “poor” children to be fed “properly.” Especially if

professional TV producers will get kids to talk. Children are often naïve

and they can say things like, “Yeah, I also like pizza but my parents never

allow me to eat it!” For years, my kids were questioned about their diet by

many strangers on the street. We were able to escape by constantly moving.

 

 

 

I strongly believe that to expose the benefits of the raw food diet, adults

have to act first without involving children, and this process is already

happening. When it will become more normal and acceptable to be on a raw

diet among adults than we can expose our kids.

 

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Victoria
