1)Since my topic is on obesity as a disease I am writing to everyone. I'm not saying everyone is obese, but most people do not consider obesity a disease. With my paper I am going to be writing to anyone who does not think obesity is considered a disease. Also people who are obese I could be informing more on their disease and the condition they are in. This is such a crucial topic because obesity is considered an epidemic. This epidemic is spreading all across America and across the world. It is a preventable disease and it is very prevalent in our society because over 400 Million of the worlds population are obese today. I like this topic because I am into health and I feel badly for people that are struggling with this disease. I think high school teachers wanted us to learn how to write a paper and they did not care so much for what was in the paper. Now as a college students i think teachers want to know how we feel about a certain topic and maybe some teachers think our opinions help us with our writing.
2) Yes i am seeing different views the internet sources so far are still the same, with cause and effects. The book sources are branching out into different ideas such as, genetics and environment.
3) I learned the obesity rate of adolescents and children has tripped over the past 30 years.
4) To Lindsay Carpenters blog,
I agree that obesity is a disease and that something drastic needs to be done to reduce the number of obese people. Some people can not help being overweight because they could have a thyroid problem or something else. I would like to know more about why you think obesity is a disease. This is an interesting topic and one that does need to be addressed. Keep up the good work.
