Victoria B.'s take on ABC TV/Raw..Be Forewarned

[Guest guest]

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!â€Â  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
