New Commercials for Sugary Foods
Overview
Some experts recommend that sugar in the diet be limited to less than 25 grams (or 6 teaspoons) per day. This amount includes sugars that are included naturally in fruits and some vegetables. Yet most people take in much more sugar than this amount.
In this activity, students will recognize that commercials and other advertisements for foods often provide poor information about their products. This is especially true for sugar-rich foods and snacks that are marketed to young children. In response, students will create honest advertisements or commercials for these products.
