SugarByHalf teamed up with Facebook and their new Facebook Live tool to create a series of videos.
During the event, live video was streamed to our audience. Host Renae Leith-Manos interviewed SugarByHalf ambassadors while SugarByHalf supporters asked questions and gave feedback in real time.
We'd like to thank our ambassadors, Facebook and our film crew Digital Storytellers for helping to make the event a success!

How does sugar compare to tobacco? A teaspoon of sugar or one cigarette will not harm you. But over time, the habit can be fatal. Unlike Big Tobacco, Big Sugar deliberately targets children. And added sugar has become so pervasive within the food environment that we can't avoid it even if we wanted to.
