Grab your mustard, the hot dog is a welcome addition to Summer 2014 websites.

It shouldn't be so hard to get unsweetened drinks in a town hyper-focused on healthy foods, yet I am continually challenged at restaurants, delis and even grocery stores. Yeah supermarkets have sweet, sweeter and southern iced tea aka diabetic coma tea. Even the milk is getting a sugar coating, try buying lil milk boxes-no more 3 pack of 2% milk-stores stock vanilla, strawberry or chocolate sweetened milk.

No incentives for store management, little or no public awareness to cut out the sugar and no easy healthier options are offered.

Lets send a message we want the sugar cut. Pressure business to offer unsweetened tea, milk & juices. This does not mean diet soda—artificial sweeteners, another topic for another time

Get the board of health involved. Tweet to grocery store corporate twitter accounts, loop in the diabetes foundation. If consumers show a demand for it, business will sell it to us.

Sugary drinks increase risks of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and gout

A 20-year study found that people who increased their sugary drink consumption by one 12-ounce serving per day gained an extra pound every 4 years. One study found that for each additional 12-ounce soda children consumed each day, the odds of becoming obese increased by 60% during 1½ years of follow-up.
People who consume sugary drinks regularly—1 to 2 cans/day have a 26% greater type 2 diabetes risk.
Those who averaged one can of a sugary beverage/day had a 20% higher risk of having a heart attack.
Those who consumed a can a day of sugary drink had a 75% higher risk of gout.(26)
