Jules, again

[Guest guest]

I've been thinking about your previous post about

Raw Kids. I hope I didn't scare you away with my post

about prosecution. I am not sure but I believe that raw

foodist are much more accepted in Australia, than

America. I say this because I have read about two medical

doctors who were advising their patients to eat raw. One

american and one Australian. The American was prosicuted,

and is no longer in practice. The Australian is still

in practice and wrote a book on the subject. I saw

Mel Gibson on T.V. (an Aussie) he says he eats mostly

raw, on his doctors orders. I'm going to say that

again; " On his doctors orders " . God I love the sound of

that! Anyway, if I had kids I would certainly raise

them raw, and at the first sign of trouble, I would

jump an a plane for Australia, and move in with Victor

and his crocodiles. My love for my children would far

out weigh my love of country. <br><br>I know some raw

people raise there kids to tell people they are allergic

to whatever cooked food is offered to

them.<br><br>Doug

Hi Doug,<br>Didn’t run me off at all, thanks for

the concern. I ran the story by my wife who used to

be a Child Protective Services investigator in

Austin, Texas about 10 years ago.<br><br>Her take on it

was there were other factors involved other than just

diet. I asked her directly if Texas state law would

allow the removal of a child over diet and she answered

possibly but only if the diet one of Drano or the deadly

nightshade. <br><br>She said that it practically takes an act

of congress to remove a child from his/her parents

in Texas. Even to a fault. It’s one of the reasons

she left, was the bureaucracy involved in getting

kids out of really dangerous situations. I think that

the story was incorrectly reported with only the

peaks of the story showing.<br><br>Thanks again for

your concern, and Austrailia does seem pretty

inviting.<br><br>Jules
