I’m speaking at the Aspen Ideas Festival: Health. I’ll be interviewed by Helena Bottemiller Evich of FoodFix from 9:00 to 9:50 a.m.. Topic: “Making sense of nutrition science.”
I just got off a subway car adorned with posters advertising the New York City Health Department’s “Are you pouring on the pounds?” campaign. They are riveting.
They make a simple point, but one that is not always understood: Soft drinks contain sugar, and lots of it.
Lots of sugar—all those packets—will make you fat.
The campaign also includes a tough video.
New York City’s Health Department is taking on the city’s high rates of heart disease and type 2 diabetes in every way it can.
Take a look. What do you think? Will this work?
