Mike Adams had no idea we were going to film a show while we were driving back to the start of the festival…
For those of you who know Mike, he’s a journalist for health freedom and he doesn’t hold anything back. This show is no exception. (You can find him at www.naturalnews.com)
We got some great and fun content from him as we drove through Red Rock Country.
Take a look…
Your question of the day: (As per Mike’s request) Should the government take away children from families that are feeding their children raw food?

hmmm…I think they should take away children from families that are feeding them cooked food!
8:46 pm on September 12th, 2008
I think children should have access to raw food because I believe it’s not right for the government to force anyone to change their diet.
When you say taking children away for feeding children raw food, did you mean not feeding them a 100% cooked, pasteurized, or irradiated diet or feeding them the raw food percentage that raw foodists eat?
8:47 pm on September 12th, 2008
Should the government take away children from families that are feeding their children raw food?
Of course not. No government should be allowed to be so stupid. I mean, that’s so long as it is raw FOOD and not raw EXCREMENT. (Of course, then again, cooked excrement might not be a good idea, either.)
9:09 pm on September 12th, 2008
IF… the parents really have a raw food program for their child(ren), they should be allowed to keep on with the program (by program I mean that they are providing a variety of raw foods that enable the child(ren) to live a healthy life).

If the government does not take away children from drug-trafficking or consuming families, from abusive families, or unfit parents, no, no they should not take children away from their families who are feeding them raw food. Even if raw was not the way to health, I see no action from the government for children who are actually denied all food from their families.
9:16 pm on September 12th, 2008
didn’t know that our gov’t is taking away kids from parents who feed their kids raw food. of course parents should be the ones governing their children. where does the gov’t get off doing something like that? as long as the parents are doing good things for their children, why is the gov’t getting involved where they don’t belong anyway? different story if parents were doing something bad like beating them but feeding them good living healthy foods, i don’t see the problem. also as long as the children look & seem healthy where is the problem for the gov’t to be involved?
9:25 pm on September 12th, 2008
No

Answer to question of the day….You have to be kidding!!!
9:42 pm on September 12th, 2008
Thanks Kevin, Mike and Annmarie. I really appreciate (and I’m sure others do too) the service you guys provide by sharing health information. I now know you can’t believe everything the media and governments tell you about health, as there are so many vested interests in the way. Regarding the question of the day, I don’t think governments should be allowed to take children from families just because they are fed raw foods, however I do think parents (raw or not) have a responsibility to ensure their children are not deficient in any way.
Enjoy the Raw Spirit Fest, and I hope you post some more footage from it!
Cheers,
Fiona

Good grief. Is that really happening?
The government should be giving SUBSIDIES to those families instead and support them in every way they can if they’re involved at all. However, I don’t think the government should be involved on any level dictating anything to parents about their children.
Great show and lots of fun! Keep your eyes on the road Kevin!

No, that’s ridiculous.
Great show as always, thanks for the knowledge.

I was in this Happy Place while riding along with you through Sedona (we were there 3 or so years ago) until The Question of the Day! My heart started racing – thanks Mike! Just one more thing to load onto the stack of individual rights that are slowly being taken away from us (because we are blinded or lulled into complacency) by zealous government agencies. As a homeschooling family, we see it in the homeschool community, we also see it in the farming community (esp. re raw milk) and of course the alternative medicine/healing community (there are many more I’m sure). Glad you guys/gals are out there getting the truth out. Now please, let me get back to that Happy Place – I’m going to replay today’s video stopping at the Q of the Day. I will be more determined than ever though to teach my kids a healthy lifestyle so that they can make informed decisions about what they put into their bodies.
Wel
(In Southeastern PA where it’s raining buckets – although we’re not worrying about hurricanes….)

Wow, my reaction at first was ‘You HAVE to be kidding me’! Then I thought about it, and as messed up as the government is I can believe it. That is just So sad to think is happening when there are SOOO many other cases where kids should be protected and aren’t(middle school teacher, seen too much I guess). I truelly hope it’s a case where there are other issues wrong as well (I mean raw as in give the kid a SAD salad a day and nothing more is an issue). Disturbing! Not that you posted, but that it is happening!
As to the rest of the video, I can’t comment on the driving since I live in NE as well.
It was nice to have Mike Adams on and see him in real setting and not just a picture on a website. I think he was scared for his life however, which was rather amusing(NE driver)
11:04 pm on September 12th, 2008
I believe that Parents who have the last decision on the health of their CHILDREN.. What is this world coming to????
Enjoy your time there..

NO, the government has no business there. The more that people are educated in live nutrition, the less people will be sucked into the “health care system”. The government should be more interested in getting rid of the genetically altered food consisting of high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, dead processed “food” and God knows what else. But you see, to have a so called “health care system” you need subjects! In order to have subjects you need sick people. If parents educate their children to eat raw healthy food there won’t be any sick kids/people to experiment on with drugs! How sick is that?
11:58 pm on September 12th, 2008
CPS has a history of poor decision making & has ruined numerous families. They, along with our entire government, need to get out of our lives. The word needs to continue to get out about the value of raw food. Thanks to the 3 of you for doing your part. The rest of us need to do ours.
12:04 am on September 13th, 2008
Thank you Kevin! Thank you Mike! For telling us the truth that nobody else will! I am just learning about this lifestyle. I am praying that God helps me to be able to do this. I need a lot of healing. Hopefully, by next year I will be able to come and experience the Raw Spirit Fest.
How sad, How shameful. Our government is just crewel. I don’t know the right words. They should be working with us, not against us. They should not be taking away children from families that are feeding their children raw, living food. They are filled with an evil spirit of greed. The love of money is at the root of their evil. It’s a disgrace. We have to fight for what is right.
2:42 am on September 13th, 2008
Great show. I’m jealous you and annmarie are hanging out with Mike Adams
naturalnews.com is a huge blessing to the world. Regarding the question of the day I think you’re really preaching to the choir on this one, however, it does bring up the important issue of government involvement in our general everyday lives. I believe the government would do best allowing citizens to make their own choices and reap the consequences of those choices. Government likes to define right and wrong, good and bad as part of their machine to keep citizens ignorant and in compliance with their agenda. The reality is no one does anything inappropriate or “wrong,” given their model of the world. On the bright side we have enough personal freedoms (still) to engage in a conversation like this one. Let’s keep focusing on the solutions everyone.

Maybe we should take the offspring of any species that is fed raw food and put that offspring in a zoo.
3:09 am on September 13th, 2008
Since the government is not taking away children that are fed with sugar and fried unhealthy fats and lots of artificial flavourings and addings, why should they take away healthy children from loving parents that care about them?
God, it was an unbelievable show!!! When I received the e-mail notification I was thrilled, cause you guys (Kevin&Annmarie + Mike) are my favourite online friends/news sources/entertainment. And seeing you together was extraordinary, I felt that I was there with you in the car and chat like old friends. I laughed a lot. And the scenery is amazing. You really made my day now, I don’t know how to return the favour.

I’ve been a teacher for 20 years, and it’s not that easy for the gov’t to take kids away from parents. And believe me, there are some cases I’ve seen, when parents are definitely endangering the health or welfare of their children. Someone needs to defend the rights of those with no power. And children are often the victims of negligence or other abuse on the part of adults with power.
The question is not a yes or no question. If, what Mike Adams says is true, that gov’t is removing kids from a home, then there’s more to the story than whether or not that family simply eats raw.
10:51 am on September 13th, 2008
The govt. is far too intrusive into the private lives of citizens. It is up to the parents what should be fed to their kids-raw or cooked. The govt. is forcing vaccines on kids and pushing for cholesterol lowering drugs for kids. Also they are wanting TeenScreen on kids so that they can force psychotropic drugs on kids. What is the sense of all this? The govt. seems to want everyone to be SICK so more drugs can be sold! Good for the economy! Bad for the health of our nation.
11:41 am on September 13th, 2008
Considering that alot of parents of the North American population are feeding their children crap, leading to health issues and possibly early death…I think it ridiculous for children to be taken away from parents who preach eating raw food. Why don’t they then take away children from families who eat unhealthy food and lead unhealthy lifestyles???
12:21 pm on September 13th, 2008
If the children are healthy and not showing deficiencies, that would be so wrong to take them away.
Has anyone ever suggested that they take kids away from parents who are feeding their kids Doritos or Cheetos before they’re even 2 years old? I saw a kid still in diapers who weighed 70 pounds!! He kept his hand in a bag of cheetos the whole time the family was being interviewed… now THAT is wrong, not feeding you’re kids a healthy balanced diet.
2:19 pm on September 13th, 2008
Not every thing is black and white. the problem is that no one has the same values or should judge who and what a person eats or prays to. Of course the children should not be taken away! As long as they are loved and not starving….not sure about this living on prana thing??
I raised my kids 80 % raw and now they thank me for it and are very healthy. Like to know more about the situation!
6:21 pm on September 13th, 2008
Um NOOOOOOO!
The government is so corrupt, it’s to the point that I wish they had no rights with our personal domain at all.
As Mike said, THEY LIE ABOUT EVERYTHING! Raw foods nutrition/ factory farming/irradiation/HIV=AIDS scandal/Big Pharm….etc. The list goes on.
I thank you Kevin, AnnMarie, and Mike SO INCREDIBLY MUCH for the work y’all are doing. It has saved my life!! Keep it up!

Hi Kevin, Mike and Annemarie,
What a treat to watch three of the best people together energizing this planet with goodness, truth and beauty. You should know, Mike, how much I appreciate the information and everything else you are providing. It is really helping us to understand and be more conscious of the inverted world we live in and which can no longer be ignored.
Thank you also Kevin and Annemarie. You are great!

Raluca above stated my feelings exactly. I’ve learned so much from you guys and I’ve never felt better in my whole life. I hope I get to meet you three someday. Have a blast in Arizona!

Hi, I’m not a regular viewer but my partner is. I’m from the UK and admittedly have a poor diet (processed food etc.) To think that the government is taking away kids who are eating healthily smacks of pure insanity. What about the millions fed on junk like McDonalds?? A large percentage of them as obese as their parents? THEY’RE the ones who should be taken away and fed a raw food diet.
7:05 am on September 14th, 2008
The government is threatened by the possibility that if children are fed properly and grow up healthy and strong with a clear mind, they will be able to think for themselves. That would make them a threat to the status quo. The goverment much prefers the majority of children who are fed on a diet of junk and processed food, who rarely see a fruit or vegetable and obediently take their vaccines. No chance their brains will be intact by the time they’re old enough to make a difference in the world, and if there’s even the slightest possibility of that then the doctors will find some prescription meds to put them on. Job done, threat averted.
2:58 pm on September 14th, 2008
I remember listening to, I think, was a Raw Summit interview with Rhio who addressed this very same concern.
Fiends of ours who just had a baby recently were very concern about this as well.
In the interview, Rhio said she had a vision of having a group of lawyers, teachers, vegan nutritionalist, social workers, etc. who could come to the aid of people who were in such situations where their children were taken away from them for fear that they were being abused. It seems like a opportunity to educate the public at large. Not to say that there are also a lot of well meaning vegans who also need good nutitional education as well. We all can learn more. But having new borns coming into this world on raw vegan foods gives me hope for this planet of ours. We’ll need people with full mental capacities to solve the mess that this generation of adults are leaving behind.
4:13 pm on September 15th, 2008
I hope that this is not happening but If It is as usual the government is again over steppin their bounds! We strive to be raw most of the meals and encourage our family to do the same.
10:32 am on September 17th, 2008
thank you for interviewing Mike you guys are awesome. I think the government should let the parents be the judge of their children. the less they are involved with us the better.
1:38 pm on September 17th, 2008
OMG—NO!!! That is unbelievable. Actually, now that I think about it, it’s not. We are heading toward a police state in this country. Nobody will have any individual rights, and if those who are healthy are weeded out and persecuted, the ones who are left will be too sick to fight back. Our greatest enemy is within, and it is our own brainwashed government which relies on big corporatons for its contributions and existence. We have got to wake up.
It should be a law that families HAVE to feed their kids at least SOME raw food at every meal!
7:13 pm on September 17th, 2008
WOW…You, AM and My Mikey! ( hope no one is offened by my saying that, but that’s what I call him, “My Mikey”, remember the old cereal commercial?
I agree with Raluca, Jacqueline & Karen, this was a treat for some of us.
And no I don’t believe in big brother taking children away because of raw foodism. Not sure if any of you have been keeping up on it But Shazzie is talking about this alot lately. And we are all different body types. If a child is purely malnutritioned then I believe it would be up to the parents families and friends to intervene, not the government.
9:23 pm on September 17th, 2008
I work in a hospital and i hear parents in the waiting room telling their unruly children that if they will just behave they can have mcdonalds when they leave. If this was my family,which is unlikely due to the fact that my kids are well adjusted and not pumped up on sugar,if i were to make that statement to them,….they would ask to be taken away from me rather than be punished with frankenfoods!!absolute truth.(three years clean and organic.!thanks mike, and everyone concerned.
