Sure am glad I'm not a member of R-CALF, I raise beef.

New PSAs say vegetarianism solves childhood obesity
April 6, 2005
New public service announcements promoting a vegetarian diet to solve childhood obesity are airing in some states. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) produced the announcements, which feature overweight kids having their food choices corrected by "concerned doctors." The PSAs inappropriately point the finger at kids as "the problem." These new announcements may be viewed online at http://www.pcrm.org/news/psas/tv.html under the childhood obesity heading.
The stations accepting these PSAs are likely not aware that PCRM is not a group of doctors and health experts, as its name would imply. Rather, this group is connected to the radical animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and spends significant resources promoting a strictly vegan diet. For a complete profile of this activist group, please visit www.activistcash.com.
If you are aware these PSAs are running in your state and would like assistance responding, please contact us.
Side note: I can't help but say it – Do you think R-CALF knew these people didn't care about the beef industry when they aligned themselves with them?
