A new documentary that examines the relationship behind childhood obesity and The National School Lunch Program features several individuals prominent in the vegan community.

Written and co-directed by James Costa, Lunch Hour will be screened at the Palm Beach Food Festival tomorrow, Wednesday April 18, from 12:00 to 1:30 PM.

Talk radio host Robin Quivers, vegan chef Alex Jamieson and Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine’s Dr. Neal Barnard and Elizabeth Kucinich all have clips in the film and give their input on making cafeteria food healthier.

Dr. Barnard demonstrated with graduated cylinders how much fat can be eliminated from a child’s diet for each day the school serves veggie burgers.

“At most schools in America, the only choice the child gets is that and nothing else,” Dr. Barnard said, holding up the cylinder with the greatest amount of fat in it.

View more of Dr. Barnard’s clip below.

“She is definitely leaning toward being vegetarian. My wife and I discussed this even before Nina was born. We didn’t want to impose any kind of strict vegetarian lifestyle on her; we wanted her to make her own choices and not be limited. We know people who were forced to eat a certain way as children, then rebelled against it. But on her own she’s decided to stop eating meat. We didn’t push her; she’s an animal lover.”

—Weird Al Yankovic, in an interview with Vegetarian Times magazine.
