THE got milk? MILK MUSTACHE MOBILE STOPS IN OKLAHOMA CITY TO SPREAD THE WORD THAT BEVERAGE CHOICE MAY PLAY A POWERFUL ROLE IN HOW MUCH WE WEIGH

Obesity continues to be a serious health issue facing millions of Americans—two out of three are overweight or obese, including 62% of Oklahoma City residents.

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 coast-to-coast via the Think About Your Drink Tour, a 75-city grassroots initiative stopping in Oklahoma City from April 25 – 29th.
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-void, sugar-sweetened beverages like soft drinks may be a key strategy in the fight against obesity.

OPPORTUNITIES:
Stop by the famed-Milk Mustache events for a chance to:
--Talk with a local registered dietitian who can explain how nutrient-rich beverages may help maintain a healthy weight
-- Receive a personalized beverage analysis of daily beverage consumption
-- Signing up for the Think About Your Drink Challenge -- pledge to make smart beverage choices and one lucky OKC resident will win our give-a-way!
