Michael Moore Please Include Vegan Lifestyle Into "Sicko"

Michael Moore is filming a movie entitled “Sicko” where he will focus on the American healthcare system, and will look at it through an inspection of the system of mental health care. We all know Mr. Moore makes very entertaining, and thought provoking films. With his new movie coming out soon, I hope he can include a small part of it and informing people if they wish to cut health care costs, they can do so by going vegan. Please ask him to include in the movie how a vegan lifestyle can help keep you out of the hospital.

Mr. Moore please read these facts about eating vegan and consider adding into your movie how eating vegan can save lives.
