Check out the The Network for a Healthy California—Rethink Your Drink Campaign, which aims to educate low-income Californians about healthy drink options.
The campaign, a public health initiative led by the California Department of Public Health, also aims to help identify drinks with added sugar and make the link between consumption of sugar-sweetened drinks and health risks. In this way, the campaign hopes to shift consumption toward healthier, more affordable beverages like water.
The campaign offers lots of resources, including some in Spanish:
- Tip sheets
- Pledge cards
- sugar calculations
- recipes
- information about a cartoon character, Potter the Otter, who loves water.
Officials hope the campaign stimulates community-level partnerships and invites local environmental changes that will improve access, affordability and desirability of healthy beverages.
