NYC’s Sugary Beverage
Ban
According to Reversing Obesity Task Force, obesity is a leading cause of preventable death, second only to tobacco. 58 percent of adults – or a total of 3,437,000 people – are overweight or obese. The Task force and the Mayor believe setting a maximum size for sugary drinks offered and sold in restaurants and other Food Service Establishments is a way we can change the default and help reacquaint New Yorkers with “human size” portions to reduce excessive consumption of sugary drinks.
Special Guest: Michele Simon founder of EatDrinkPolitics.com, a public
health lawyer specializing in legal strategies to counter corporate
tactics that harm the public’s health and author of Appetite for Profit:

Bullying in the Hood
While the issue of
bullying has been a hot topic in recent years, the face of the resulting
suicides have been of suburban white teens. A 12-year old boys' from Harlem puts the issue
in the spotlight in urban communities and among people of color, where such
bullying is often under-reported.
Special Guest: Willie Davis from Project Speak Up Now about the issue of bullying in the hood
