Dr. Mehmet Oz is being derided by social media users online after encouraging parents to feed their children "real food" in order to boost health and immunity during a televised interview.

Oz, who is the new administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, appeared on Fox News while visiting Philadelphia in an effort to promote the administration's goal of making America healthy again. Speaking to host Lawrence B. Jones, Oz told parents to feed their children real food that "comes out of the ground".
