56

57

58 Hospital initiatives

59 No sugary drink prescription

60 Industry responses to policy Many things drive obesity Sugar isn t special all calories equal It s about physical activity Science isn t clear Sponsorships, lobbying Front groups We re part of the solution

61 Soda for breakfast. Part of the solution?

62 Beverage company sponsorships Influence policy, education etc. Should Academy accept sponsorships from Coke and Pepsi?

63 What can you do? Support policy changes locally Write or give testimony Write a letter to the editor Encourage coalitions to consider sugary drinks Let Academy leadership know your stand on sponsorship (either way)
