“I’m still waiting to see how serious the administration is. Even naming it “Let’s Move” suggests that the problem is that kids aren’t sweating enough, and I think that’s a mistake. Researchers have looked at the causes of childhood obesity and the changes in physical activity and diet. And the changes in physical activity, while there for some kids, are not enough to account for the increase in obesity. If you tell a kid you’ve got to exercise off the calories they just ate in six chicken nuggets, that child has to run 3-1/2 miles. In theory, you can force children to exercise off the calories we are stuffing down their throats, but the issue really is the input side.”

—Dr. Neal Barnard, founder and president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, on Michelle Obama‘s campaign to get kids fitter, Let’s Move!” Dr. Barnard, who follows a vegan diet, believes calorie counting is not necessary if people fill up on grains, beans, fruits and vegetables.

The PCRM recently unveiled its eating guidelines in what it calls the Power Plate. The Power Plate doesn’t recommend a definite number of servings from each food group, but simply advocates eating a completely plant-based diet, choosing foods from legumes, grains, fruits and vegetables on a daily basis.

And please don’t call him a vegan. Although he eats a plant-based diet, he said the word vegan, “sounds like I’ve got a red tie-dye shirt. What I say is that I follow a vegan diet. I use it as a word for foods, not people.”

When Mayim Bialik takes her little one for a check-up, runny nose or prescription refill, she’ll never have to worry about doc giving her a lecture on proteins, soy products giving him male breasts, the kid’s growth being stunted or any of the other naysaying arguments those in the medical profession who are uneducated about veg diets and children give.

Mayim’s pediatrician for her children happens to be a vegan.

“Fortunately, our pediatrician is vegan, and that’s so incredibly important,” Bialik told VegNews in the April 2011 issue.

“Not only for my son to have a vegan diet reinforced at our check-ups but also to have a pediatrician who’s a nutritionist, whom we can actually go to with my mother-in-law’s questions.”
