Kids get healthy public service announcement needs transparency

A public service announcement for child obesity paid for by the nonprofit organization Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine should be more transparent. The PCRM is a vegan organization. Their "Nutrition for Kids: A Get Healthy Approach to Achieving Weight Goals" menu is entirely vegan. While a vegan diet may be tolerated by some, it is definitely not for everyone. Many clients have come to see me in very bad shape after being on vegan diets. Before havng your child follow a diet like the PCRM recommends, I highly recommend seeing a health professional to evaluate if it is a viable choice.
