“NFL” Teams With Dairy Farmers For Anti-Obesity Campaign
Written by Vegetarian Star on April 23rd, 2010 in Athletes-Games-Sports, Children, Research + Science.
Much to the disappointment of vegans, the NFL has teamed up with dairy farmers in a campaign to fight childhood obesity.
The Fuel Up To Play 60 campaign encourages children to practice better lifestyle habits such as consuming low fat milk and exercising.
Politics aside, evidence for dairy being beneficial to weight maintenance is not conclusive.
Some studies have linked milk consumption to a decrease in the risk for obesity, while others found the opposite.
Since this particular campaign is directed at children, it’s interesting to note one study in the Archives of Pediatric Adolescent Medicine found children that drank the most milk gained the most weight.
