Living Tree Community Essay Contest

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

My Mom, June Thaw, as a Christian, is dying to be

VEGAN.

She resides at San Marco Nursing Facility in Walnut

Creek, Calif. She is forced to eat flesh and dairy

which is contradicting to a true Christian belief.

Her civil rights are being violated. I have tried

for months with clinical reports from Physicians for

Responsible Medicine, but to no avail.

Walnut Creek Kaiser doctors say that cholesteral after

70 years of age is not a problem. " Everything in

moderation " with regards to smoking, drinking, and a

fatty diet.

Visit a nursing home and give your LOVE to someone

who would really appreciate it.

You will be surprised how it will benefit you also!

The residents are there 24 hours a day!

There are NO vegan friendly nursing homes!

There will be more to say later.

Sincerely,

Steven Thaw
