Share On Social!

Sugar isn’t always sweeter.

Latinos and many other families live in food environments with an abundance of unhealthy high-sugar food and drink options. They have less access to fresh produce, clean water, and other healthy options.

This situation, sadly, sets the stage for obesity, diabetes, and more.

Let’s use #SaludTues on Tuesday, April 3, 2018, to tweet how to increase the availability of and access to healthy food and water for Latino and all families!
