Wow. This weekend was a blast. It was, perhaps, the best Catalyst Summit yet! Thank you to each and every one of you for coming and and making it great.

From the nastiness of sugar-sweetened beverages and food marketing, to the deliciousness of baked pita chips and smoothies, we all learned a lot.  Check out the recipes here. We definitely had fun doing so too. Some of us were actually hypnotised and thought we were ballerinas, and many of us danced well into Saturday night!

Despite the late-night dancing, we all got up early Sunday morning to take part in our activism event against obesity. We from Minneapolis, to Mears Park in downtown St. Paul, to build a giant bar graph filled with soda cans. The bar graph portrayed the skyrocketing obesity rates in the U.S. throughout the past 30 years. We filled the see-through graphs (the highest was 16 feet tall!) with empty soda cans, to demonstrate how sugar-sweetened beverages have contributed to the fattening of America. We are in the midst of creating a sweet video of the activism event, which we will put on YouTube for all to see!

So thanks again for all you who attended! We had so much fun getting to know you all, and can’t wait to see you again next year - or sooner!
