Optimum Nutrition Product Reviews

Not like we need another reason to like Jillian Michaels, but this is just another reason to like Jillian Michaels.

The Biggest Loser trainer recently teamed up with Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine to ask her fans to support the Improving Nutrition for America’s Children Act — a bill that would help schools serve more fruits, vegetables, and plant-based meal options.

“I’m the tough trainer on The Biggest Loser and Losing It with Jillian, and I am passionate about helping people reach a healthy weight,” says Michaels. “But I’m writing to you with a request that just might put me out of business. I want you to help fight childhood obesity so that fewer people will need to go through the difficult process of shedding excess pounds. More than a third of America’s children are now overweight or obese.”

Michaels is asking everyone to contact their member of congress and ask him or her to vote in support of the Improving Nutrition for America’s Children Act. Luckily, contacting your representative is so super simple with PCRM’s quick and easy form.

We’re excited to see so many stars coming out to support this wonderful bill and have our fingers crossed it gets passed. Because honestly, who doesn’t want America’s youth eating healthier food? Exactly!
