Health Department's New Anti-Obesity Video Shows What it Means to Drink Sugar
"Pouring on the Pounds" campaign inspires a second YouTube skit
In a continuing effort to educate New Yorkers about the potentially serious health effects of consuming sugary drinks, the Health Department has launched the second Internet video of its "Pouring On the Pounds" campaign. The 50-second spot features the same young man, seated at a lunch counter and blithely stuffing his mouth with packets of sugar while other diners look on in horror. The irony is that they're taking in just as much - if not more - from the sweetened sodas they're sipping.
