Obesity continues to be a serious health issue facing millions of Americans—two out of three are overweight or obese.
To urge Americans to Think About Your Drink, the milk industry has teamed up with dietitians and school nutrition professionals to promote healthier beverage choices, a message being spread from coast-to-coast via the Think About Your Drink Tour, a 75-city grassroots initiative stopping in Denver from August 4-8.
While in town, the Think About Your Drink Tour will host a series of free interactive and educational events aimed at shining the spotlight on the fact that choosing nutrient-rich beverages like lowfat milk instead of nutrient-poor, sugar-sweetened beverages like soft drinks may be a key strategy to help fight obesity.
Stop by the famed-Milk Mustache events for a chance to:
- Talk with a local registered dietitian who can show you how your beverage choices stack up.
- Check out a six-foot drinking glass detailing on average, what women drink each day.
- Signing up for the Think About Your Drink Challenge and taking a pledge to make smart beverage choices.
- Work out and get exercise tips from Curves International.
- Get your picture snapped with a Milk Mustache.
- Sample milk from local milk processors Meadow Gold Dairy, Sinton Dairy Foods and Robinsons Dairy.
