Steve Kubby update- sick and too skinny

from the http://www.kubby.org/ site:

UPDATE

Spoke with Steve today. He's lost 25 pounds and has had blood pressure problems
due to the poor diet he is being fed. He also has had shingles for three weeks,
indicating that his immune system is failing.

The jail feeds the inmates with the lowest quality, most processed food avaiable.
They do not believe this is affecting Steve's health, but his weight loss is getting
quite dramatic. I am personally very concerned that he will not make it through this
situation specifically because of the diet he is being fed.

We are gathering information about the importance of diet and cancer because we are
hoping to educate the jail about the danger they are
putting Steve in with their poor food quality. So far, the jail has been
very stubborn about offering Steve food that will nurish his body's particular needs.

I am so angry at this poor treatment of Steve. Maybe if we all call the jail and try
to educate them about the danger they are putting him in, they would relent and let
us provide healthy food. So far, they won't even let us give him food.

This is quite odd, because the jail has a deal with McDonald's to provide food from
the outside.

This is such a sick situation. I hope that it all ends up O.K. The girls and I have
so many wonderful plans for our future together as a family. I pray we can see them
come to fruition.
