Yale Speaks on Surgary Drinks

One of our favorite sources of information, the Yale Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity has released a new report on sugary drinks and their marketing to children. My favorite quote:

"Sugary drink companies speak to children early, often, and when parents are not looking. Sugary drinks are the most unhealthy food product marketed to children and are relentlessly and aggressively targeted toward them. Food marketing to children negatively influences the dietary choices and the health of society's most vulnerable citizens. Given the childhood obesity epidemic at hand, we need meaningful solutions and real change. We're here to give you the FACTS."

A slight change of direction

I am gathering so many sources of information in this quest to improve the food culture at Butterbean's school that I am going to begin posting them here. Hopefully we can start to track our progress. Here goes change!
