Montel Williams’ Daughter Shoots Pro-Vegetarian Commercial
Friday, May 8th, 2009If you live in Los Angeles, San Francisco or Washington, you may soon notice a new television commercial featuring talk show host Montel William’s fifteen-year-old daughter. According to news reports, Wyntergrace Williams recently completed taping a television ad that emphasizes the need for public schools to offer vegetarian options to students by amending the Child Nutrition Act.
“Some us don’t eat right,” Wyntergrace reportedly says in the ad. “Fast food, junk food - sometimes, even our school lunches have too much fat and cholesterol. More than 80% of Americans believe that vegetarian meals should be available in schools to children who want them, a recent survey conducted by Opinion Research Corporation found.”
The television ads are not the only step that the young Miss Williams has taken toward promoting vegetarianism and healthy eating. In fact, she has paired with Dr. Neal Bernard, who is part of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, and has paid several visits to Capitol Hill in an effort to urge Congress and the President to join in efforts to fight childhood obesity by helping schools serve more vegetables, fruit and low-fat vegetarian foods.
Right now, the ads are slated to only run in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington during children’s shows, news shows and during “The Ellen DeGeneres show.” But, who knows? Even if you don’t live in one of those areas, the spots may very well make their way to your neck of the woods.
