2013 - The Bigger Picture - "A Taste of Home" by Monica

The beverage industry is specifically targeting Latino children and youth by increasing their marketing efforts on Spanish-language television. Monica Mendoza introduces us to an unhealthy family tradition to analyze how sugar sweetened beverages impact Latino communities and contribute to the type 2 diabetes epidemic. Filmed and directed by Jamie DeWolf.

Youth Speaks and UCSF Center for Vulnerable Populations are leading the campaign against Type 2 Diabetes with our new project, The Bigger Picture. Raise your voice TODAY!
