When 13-year-old Ryan Storm went to school on Tuesday he had some questions for the Canadian Sugar Institute. Why were the Canadian Sugar Institute presenting at his school as part of a “Healthy Hub” program? Why were they claiming sugar was healthy? What studies they were citing? Who had funded the research? But the sugar reps weren’t too happy with his questions. “I was asked by the supervising presenter to stop asking so many questions, and basically asked me to leave their table. 4 people were at that table promoting sugar, and one pretty small 13 year old kid asking questions was a problem?” So Ryan decided to blog about being silenced by Big Sugar – and his account made headlines around Canada. It’s inspiring to hear this young activist call out the sugar industry for the way its sells itself to kids.
