The stunt took place during the organisation’s annual health event at the International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine in Washington, D.C., held on August 10 and 11.

The event attracts huge numbers of medical and health professionals for two days of talks, discussions, and networking with a view to sharing essential knowledge about plant-based and preventative medical care with a focus on nutrition.

Physicians Committee President, Neal Barnard, M.D, who can be seen to the left of the ‘Go Vegan’ sign, said: “Diet is the leading cause of death and disability in the United States. Health care providers are eager to learn to use the power of nutrition. The International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine is the perfect place to do that.”
