Hey everyone!
Have you seen the NYC Department of Health commercials against sugary drinks? There is one recent TV commercial that was done well. The commercial message was clear and not gross. In the past some of their health campaigns were a bit too raw, gross- unfortunately that was what some people would remember about the commercial - instead of the take home message.
Side note: Good for you mayor Bloomberg for being supportive of these campaigns and not allowing the beverage industry bully you!
If you ever tried to make the case against sugary beverages to your loved ones and you get the "oh please nobody is gonna die from drinking ..." response. Well now you don't to say anything ... you can show them the commercial. It may not work but, its worth a try.
Below are links to two commercials against sugary drinks . One for NYC and the other is for Seattle residents.
Which video do you like?
Or do you think these is not the right approach to educate Americans about sugar in their diet? Some people feel that the government should stay out of the people's lives when it comes to their eating habits, do you agree?
Was this a waste of money?

This blog is about topics I find interesting as a new stay at home mom. I like to talk about things that are either mainstream or topics that are not spoken about because they are taboo or not media worthy. I will try to keep it interesting and informative.
