By my count this is Michael's 3rd nutrition related grift. First he fucked up school lunches. Then he started a scam nutrition company last year. Now he's pushing a "healthy" soda that's only slightly better for you than a can of Coke, and if the school lunch fiasco is any indication it probably tastes like fermented piss.
First. How about WATER for your fat kids. It has zero calories.
I snooped around to find the nutritional value of Plezi cans of sugary drinks and they contain 35 Calories vs coke 90 Calories. ( Those are small ~230mL cans ).
So substancially less sugar than coke or fruit juice ( fruit juice has as much sugar as regular soda. If the main health problem is your kids are too fat, fruit juice is as bad a soda. ''Muh vitamins'' bitch your kids are not vitamin-deficient, and if they were 150mL of orange juice is enough for the day. ).
The problem is, however, the same as with every ''diet'' replacement that never adresses the core of the problem : stop pacifying your kids and yourself with food. Stop indulging in every food craving. Develop self-control around food.
As with all ''diet'' substitute you will subconsciously tell yourself you can have more ''because it's healthy'', and you're likely to crave more by volume because it was less calorie dense, and you can feel the difference.
Kids are so fat they are developping T2 diabetes at unprecedented levels. It used to be very rare to see T2 diabetes among kids and young adults.
My grandparents' generation also drank soda. I still have the glasses they used to serve themselves once. They hold less than a cup ( 250mL ). Grandparents were skinny.
Portion sizes inflation and snacking at every craving are why people are fat. Not soda simply existing in the vincinity.
Water. Apple Juice Concentrate. Soluble Vegetable Fiber, Citric Acid, Watermelon Juice Concentrate, Natural Flavors, Potassium Citrate, Ascorbic Acid, Sodium Citrate, magnesium Lactate, Pectin, Stevia Leaf Extract, Zinc Oxide.
This is a highly processed food. You'd be mad to serve this to children.
And not that I care but this is the least "environmentally sustainable" packaging you could possibly produce. A plastic bottle, wrapped in a plastic label, in a plastic covered cardboard box. How much fucking estrogen leaks off these? Who knows... probably a fuck ton.

Aside from the fruit juice concentrate, that's basically soda with part of the sugar replaced with an artificial swetener ( stevia ).
I see no excuse to try to pass this off as ''healthy''
The only accidental point made by ''Fat Acceptance'' regarding the diet industry : this diet food isn't healthy.
