Fells N3VPU Amateur Radio Operator We have been talking with a couple in Australia who's 12 month old baby was taken from them last week for being " skinny " and being fed a raw vegan diet. They emailed me a photo and the baby looks a picture of health! Why aren't all the obese babies being taken away from their parents when it is KNOWN that these babies are at risk for disease, whereas one can totally thrive being skinny! The authorities are saying this baby is low in protein levels. But he hasn't been sick a day in his life! Not even so much as a runny nose! So because he doesn't measure up on paper to some government standard of how much protein a person is supposed to have he is being separated from his parents. I suppose they want to get his protein levels up to a level where he will be ever-congested and riddled with everything from diaper rash to colic to asthma to chronic debilitating diseases! What a time we live in! After helping several families over the years with similar issues Storm and I have decided to form a League For The Protection of Raw Vegan Families under the umbrella of our non-profit organization Ekaya, Inc.. We want to make this League open to everyone who is moved to be involved in any way. If you want to help through just putting your name on our list of supporters or members, if you are a professional person who can contribute legal help, medical or scientific support, or simply to lend credibility, if you have had personal experience with this type of thing and are able to offer emotional support and advice to the families involved, or if you would like to volunteer in any other capacity we would love to hear from you. Just email me at info (AT) thegardendiet (DOT) com with whatever information you would like us to know about you and we will keep you in our database of supporters. We'll contact you if there are opportunities to help, we'll keep you updated on our activities from time to time, and we'll list you as League Members in our petitions on behalf of the families. We are putting together an Educational Package that families can give to the authorities they are working with to educate them on the scientific and medical validity of the raw vegan diet. If anyone has any information to contribute, especially articles from medical journals, studies done by universities, recommendations from doctors, or reports from the FDA, CDC, or other government or medical institutions we would be grateful for this information to include in the package. The Educational Package will include our film " Breakthrough " in which a Medical Doctor tells us that there is nothing unhealthy about being thin. At the time Adagio was quite underweight according to the charts. The doctor said there was nothing to worry about since he wasn't sickly. He also looked a picture of radiant health and was full of energy with no physical complaints whatsoever. The Educational Package will also include the DVD " Eating " which was produced by doctors and gives the most factual and compelling scientific evidence for a plant-based diet that I have ever seen. We'll also include some of the scientific articles we've been collecting and putting up at http://www.thegardendiet.com/science - I have a few more that I'll be adding soon. Please feel free to email us with any other ideas!
