Hi, healthy-food lovers,
We have in-house problems at this time. We do not like to share our
laundry with you but there are details about the quality of our foods
that affect all Rawesome-Club-of-Venice-California members. For those of
you who are not Rawesome-Venice members please disregard this. Thank you.
Today, we received a report from independent investigators. It saddens
us to have to bring this to everyone's attention but it affects our
health and well-being. All o f you know that James Stewart runs Rawesome
Club of Venice. Because of inconsistency of food quality, we had a firm
investigate one of James Stewart's suppliers, Sharon Palmer of Healthy
Family Farm. She supplies so called pastured organic non-soy and
non-GMO-fed chicken and eggs, and until recently raw goats-milk products
and meats. We have signed documented evidence that most of the chickens
and eggs she had been selling us for years are bought from standard
commercial egg and meat suppliers that were not organic and not
soy-free. Also, we have evidence that Palmer does not use organic feed
for the few chickens she had raised from as long as 2 years ago up to 2
months ago.
Several of us called the irregularity of her chickens and eggs to James
Stewart's attention several times in at least 2 years and requested that
he buy chickens from a reliable source but he refused. Since James
Stewart claims to get the best foods that he can for Rawesome members,
why wouldn't he get them from the responsible and reliable Amish farmers
with whom we are already contracted?
The answer to that is even more saddening: Mr. Stewart told another
investor of Healthy Family Farm that he, James Stewart invested $700,000
of his own money (made from profits from Rawesome) and he wants the
profits of the chicken and egg sales that is $10,000 monthly. It deeply
troubles us that Rawesome members have been deceived and usurped by
James Stewart and Sharon Palmer. It lacks integrity and care for
Rawesome members and their rights to healthy food and honesty about
them. It is a crime that we, Rawesome members have been eating
non-organic soy-fed chickens and eggs by our standards.
The raw goat's milk and cheeses we got from Rawesome until several
months ago were also supposed to have come from organically-fed goats at
Healthy Family Farm and Sharon Palmer. The investigative report states
that testimony from past employees at Healthy Family Farm, declared that
Palmer fed her goats non-organic feed and that Mr. Stewart was told. Mr.
Stewart got angry with them and told them they were lying. Why would
they lie? They helped raise the money to finance Healthy Family Farm.
They raised that money to fund the farm because James Stewart and Sharon
Palmer promised to raise the best-quality organically-grown products for
Rawesome members. They used cheap feed, bought commercial products,
doubled the prices and made bigger profits.
Sharon Palmer faces many problems with government agencies, and she
decided to dispose of her goats and only sell chickens and eggs that
were not organic. Rawesome now gets members goat's milk from our
contracted Amish Farmers. The investigative report states that Palmer
was and is a convicted felon of fraud on several counts. At least 2 of
the incidents of fraud involved talking out loans on elderly peoples'
homes, taking the money and letting the elderly people be evicted for
non-payment of loans. She has defrauded Rawesome members with Mr.
Stewarts knowledge and complicity.
Those are not the only incidents regarding falsely presenting foods as
something they are not. For about 2 years, James Stewart sold pressed
oils as raw, pressed under 105 degrees F. When our president questioned
him about the temperatures, James Stewart got angry and told everyone
that Dr. Aajonus Vonderplanitz was a jerk and trying to sabotage
Rawesome. However, Aajonus simply tries to protect people's rights to
healthy food, including his. He tries to make producers prove their
claims for their products. James Stewart insisted that he had put a
heat-gun on the cold-pressing machine and heat on the oils were all
under as low as 80 F. and not above 105 F. Two years later, Aajonus
happened to be present when the oils were pressed. Using James Stewarts'
heat-gun to test the oil, two of the 3 oils were from 124 - 171 degrees
F. Only then did James Stewart change the signs that those oils were not
pressed below 105 F.
Now that we have evidence of fraud by James Stewart regarding
goat's-milk products, chickens and eggs, all Rawesome members must make
him face accountability. We have poisoned ourselves with soy,
non-organic and possibly GMO and antibiotic toxicity because James
Stewart assured us we were eating "completely organic, non-soy-fed and
non-GMO" chickens, eggs and goat's-milk products from Healthy Family
Farm/Sharon Palmer. Is it appropriate for us to insist that James
Stewart get another source of chickens and eggs, such as from the Amish?
We will make the report available to those who doubt any statements
above. We realize that the above is more than you may have wanted to
know but it is better that you know the details before collect your eggs
and chicken from Rawesome Club Venice . There is more about James
Stewart and his attorney that a RTCHF-representative will issue within
12 hours. Like all of the Rawesome members, we are people just trying to
be as healthy as we can.
Sincerely,
Right To Choose Healthy Food
Dr. Aajonus Vonderplanitz, President
