Are You Pouring On The Pounds?

New York City’s health department issued a series of shock value ads illustrating the ill effects of soft drinks and other sweetened beverages. When you see it like this it is truly disgusting.

I’m not one for shock value with no substance, but when it comes to health related advertising I think that it can be very effective for one reason — they aren’t selling anything. Seeing something like this definitely makes you take notice.

Unfortunately it may not be enough to change people’s habits, but it should be!
