Pouring on the Pounds: Video on Sugary Beverages and Obesity

Keywords / Description:

This 30-sec video is based on the subway advertisements produced by the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene warning individuals to not "drink yourself fat." It shows a young man drinking a glass of fat from a can in order to attract the attention of the general public to the relationship of these drinks and obesity, and promote healthier drinks. The video and other additional resources can be found at http://nyc.gov/html/doh/html/cdp/cdp_pan.shtml .
