oh please not another obesity paper
For my research paper I am going to write about
obesity, but not just the standard paper on how it is a huge problem it todays
society. I am going to talk about how individuals should be held accountable
for their choices on the food they choose to eat and not be able to sew food
companies such as McDonalds. As a food science major with an interest in
becoming a dietitian I am interested about how what you put into your body
affects so many aspects of your life. The biggest aspect would be a persons
overall health, and even with just a basic understanding of food or caloric
intake individuals should be able to understand the types of foods they need to
take in. Everyone makes the conscious decision about what they put into their
body and the food we choose to put ingest can have giant effects on our bodies.
For my research I am going to look into some previous reasons that people have
sewed food companies, and from there I will further research each of the
reasons. For example, a group of overweight students from New York filed a
lawsuit against McDonalds and sought compensation for their obesity related
health problems and wanted improved labeling of McDonalds products. I am not
arguing that McDonalds serves healthy food in anyway, but they cannot be blamed
for the children constantly eating the fast food and becoming obese. Deep-fried
anything is never beneficial to your health and choosing to eat these types of
greasy products is the choice of consumer. Blaming a company that serves
unhealthy food for your increased risk of heart disease and increased blood
pressure is illogical. They do not force anyone to eat their products, people
choose to and thereby choose to increase their risk for health problems. For my
scholarly sources I will look up old lawsuits and case studies of the health
related topics and for my rhetorical sources I will look up cartoons that imply
fast food companies are to blame for obesity. I think this is an important
topic for people to understand because obesity is rapidly turning into Americas
number one health concern and every overweight person cannot decide to blame
their poor decision making on fast food companies.
