@MomsRising @VoicesAction Our pleasure! Thank you! #FoodFri
A7.1: Educate about how much kids are consuming! #FoodFri
A8. Absolutely! Sugary drink taxes work! They support health by reducing consumption and raise much needed revenue. #FoodFri - sugarydrinks.voicesforhealthykids.org/resources/suga…
A10. Absolutely. This is a national movement and Seattle is paving the way for how to do sugary drinks taxes right. Join the Seattle coalition at seattlehealthykidscoalition.org/action. #FoodFri x.com/MomsRising/sta…
Q10: Are there other tax on sugary drinks initiatives being considered in other cities and states across the United States? #FoodFri
A9. Check out our website at seattlehealthykidscoalition.org, or our facebook for easy to read documents explaining the tax and up-to-date information. With specific questions you can contact our organizer directly at [email protected]. #FoodFri x.com/MomsRising/sta…
Q9: Where can people get more information about #HealthySeattleKids and the Seattle Tax on Sugary Drinks? #FoodFri
A8. We are in favor! The reason is simple. We agree with Thomas R. Frieden, immediate past director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, that sugary drinks taxes are “the single most effective measure to reverse the obesity epidemic.” #FoodFri x.com/MomsRising/sta…
Q8: For those joining us, are you in favor of a sugary tax? Why or why not? #foodfri
A7.1 Early in Council, Seattle heard and answered concerns that the funds be used to support the communities most affected by the negative health impacts of sugar consumption. Since then, the soda industry has blown smoke and fear about how the tax will affect business. #FoodFri x.com/MomsRising/sta…
Q7: A tax on sugary beverages is often met with resistance from different stakeholders. What kind of resistance did you find? How did you build support for a tax on sugary drinks? #FoodFri
A7.3 Most importantly, however, is the tight focus of the tax on reducing obesity/diabetes and funding programs that support those most affected. Our communtiy supports ending the obesity epidemic and understands the tax on sugary drinks is an effective method to do so. #FoodFri x.com/MomsRising/sta…
Q7: A tax on sugary beverages is often met with resistance from different stakeholders. What kind of resistance did you find? How did you build support for a tax on sugary drinks? #FoodFri
A7.2 We have a diverse coalition that came together with great leaders and co-chairs like Estella Ortega (El Centro de La Raza), Dr. Ben Danielson (Odessa Brown Clinic), Vic Coleman (Childhood Obesity Prevention Coalition), the American Heart Association and many more. #FoodFri x.com/MomsRising/sta…
Q7: A tax on sugary beverages is often met with resistance from different stakeholders. What kind of resistance did you find? How did you build support for a tax on sugary drinks? #FoodFri
A6.1: Benefits of Sugary Drink Tax graphic #FoodFri
A6.2 Taxes on sugary drinks are already working in other cities – in Berkeley, consumption of sugary drinks is down 21 percent in low-income neighborhoods, and sales are down 10 percent overall, while sales of water are up 16 percent. #FoodFri x.com/MomsRising/sta…
Q6: Are there health benefits of having a tax on sugary drinks? Is there research that shows these benefits? #foodfri
A6.1 The soda industry disproportionately targets communities of color, particularly black and Hispanic youth, when marketing sugary drinks. Reduced consumption of sugary drinks is expected to prevent thousands of new cases of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. #FoodFri x.com/MomsRising/sta…
Q6: Are there health benefits of having a tax on sugary drinks? Is there research that shows these benefits? #foodfri
A5.2 To see some of the great programs funded this year check out our website at - seattlehealthykidscoalition.org/1community-inv… #FoodFri x.com/MomsRising/sta…
Q5. What happens with the funds collected from the sugary tax? Where are those being allocated? #FoodFri
A5.1 In Seattle $$$ is spent on programs supporting those most affected by the negative public health impacts of sugar consumption. In Seattle we are investing in food access w. the Fresh Bucks, Food Action Plan and in education through 13th Year Promise Scholarship. #FoodFri x.com/MomsRising/sta…
