SAN ANTONIO -- Parents may want to think twice before ordering a "healthy" kids meal for their children. It turns out, the food may not be so healthy after all.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine just released its top five worst "healthy" kids meals. Chick-Fil-A's grilled nuggets kids meal topped the list. Health officials say it contains the same amount of cholesterol as a Big Mac.

McDonald's Cheeseburger Happy Meal, Burger King's Kids Meal, Sonic Kids' Jr. Burger Meal and Denny's Build Your Own Jr. Grand Slam also made the list.

Hey, here’s a news flash for the PCRM members…you’re all going to die of something! So are we all! If given a choice, I’ll take death-by-food over overly-constrained-sphincter any day! LOL! Real little cutie in the picture, though.

Here's a direct quote from PCRM 'report' - "Grilled chicken is the largest source of PhIP, a potent carcinogen that may play a role in the development of breast, prostate, and other cancers." GET THAT? Grilled chicken is BAD for you according to these 'dieticians'. They are pushing a vegan lifestyle, nothing more. They are also very active in 'animal rights', which is strange, since they are supposedly doctors promoting 'healthy diets', what does that have to do with 'animal rights'? Makes sense when you realize the militant vegan agenda though.

One more thing about PCRM or Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, they want to ban MILK from all children's diets, saying that cheese, milk and other dairy products are unhealthy. Keep that in mind when reading about their 'reports' and 'studies'

I know, this is out there on the edge, but why not fix your kids a healthy meal at home, including a glass of milk instead of soda, veggies and broiled meat instead of fat laden fried nuggets and fries. Hello parents -- quit stuffing fast food down your kids pie hole because you're too lazy or "don't have enough time" to feed the kids properly.

Come ON WOAI! PCRM or Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is an ACTIVIST group that pushes the vegan diet as the only healthy diet. They regularly come out with 'studies' that are poorly and unfairly executed, and then push for vegan only diets for school children.
