Real Bears Video

http://therealbears.org/#video

This new video was released by the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) as a "drink less soda" initiative and is sure to cause quite the uproar by the soda industry. The video is very entertaining and has a lot of hard-hitting statements about the dangers of soda to health. I can't wait to see the food politics unfold!

    I thought I recognized the music in the background of this clip, so I did some investigating. While finding out this information (go Jason Mraz!), I stumbled across the organization that created this video. Food guru and TV sensation, Jamie Oliver (AKA The Naked Chef), is the social activist behind the "Food Revolution." This organization is fighting the war against obesity and trying to save lives by "inspiring everyone to start cooking good foods from scratch again." The "Real Bears" information page is below. There are also some great links on this page informing the public about more harmful soda facts and ways to evaluate the healthiness of your own diet. Check it out!
