On September 5th, Viktoras Kulvinskas, Father of the Raw Foods Revolution, appeared in an interview by John Stossel on ABC News' "20/20". Video excerpts from that interview are now published at the "Viktoras' Online Media Events" link on the sitemap of our website at
www.viktoras.org.
It is apparent to we "raw fooders" that tabloid style television journalist John Stossel ambushed Viktoras by framing the presentation about raw foods within the context of a very rare eating disorder known as "orthorexia".
We have organized a petition to the editors at ABC News to request a more unbiased and positive hearing for Viktoras and the Raw Foods Movement on their network programming. We request that you participate in this petition and that you request that raw food friends of yours who might be interested also participate. Here are instructions the intructions for this webpetition.
Please copy and paste this petition requesting a reappearance for Viktoras on "20/20" into the Letters to the Editors comment link at ABC News:

www.viktoras.org To the Editors and to John Stossel,
It is my opinion that the recent interview by John Stossel of best-selling author and co-founder of the Hippocrates Health Institute Viktoras Kulvinksas on "20/20" presented a biased and negative point of view.
We believe that it would be in the best interest of your viewers if a reappearance by Viktoras were arranged to highlight the hundreds of thousands of individuals globally who have recovered from chronic degenerative disease and who are thriving on the Raw Foods Diet which health scientist Kulvinksas has expounded for some four decades now.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
[Your name]
Raw foods advocate
