vegetarian commercial
I think I was watching a movie, or family guy, and a commercial came on for an organization called childrens health association or something similar. It had a child and a mom feeding the child fruits and veggies, the narrator said something along the lines of "do you want to keep your children from suffering from heart attacks, high cholesterol and high blood pressure (I actually dont remember all of the diseases he said, but he said these)? Feed them a diet of fruits, vegetables, whole grains.... vegetarian." I said WHAT?!??! a vegetarian commerical?!??!!? This organization came out saying 'you should raise your children vegetarian, its good for them.' WOW! What a great step! I was SHOCKED, especially after seeing meat commercial after milk commercial after cheese commercial after junk food commercial.
It was totally sweet and I just had to tell ya'll.
thats really cool. I'm reading diet for new America right now and have been shocked by all the diseases meat causes. I was thinking to myself that raising a child vegan IS a way to show them you love them. I was also bemoaning the fact that there aren't any commercials/ads for fruits and veggies. I hope this will catch on!
I hope someone posts it on youtube or somewhere. I tried to find it online. Maybe my search was complete rubbish, because there can't be that many vegetarian children commercials. And by "that," I of course mean just that one. :)
I wish I'd seen it! I'd love to get a hold of a copy of it to show to people. (Especially my older sister who lets her kids eat a bunch of processed crap!)
