Tackling Australia’s Obesity Problem by Cutting Sugar in Half

By Dietdoctor @DietDoctor1

Australia is facing huge problems with obesity - 2 in 3 adults are either overweight or obese - and the rates keep going up. That's what a new campaign, SugarByHalf, is trying to change - by drastically reducing the amount of sugar people eat:

One of the greatest factors driving obesity is consumption of sugar, oftentimes hidden in products labeled as "healthy" such as cereal, yoghurt and snacks. By increasing awareness about this, and making people cut the amount of sugar they eat in their food by half, the people behind the campaign hope to stop this devastating trend.

A great idea I think. What do you say?
