My topic is obesity as disease. Its the argument of is obesity a disease or a condition. Does genetic factors make one obese or is it their environment and way of life. I knew I wanted to write on something to do with obesity but just obesity as a whole is a very broad subject. Obesity is very prevalent in our society today, most adult Americans are overweight or obese today, which causes the rise in obesity in children too. Obesity is a main cause is many diseases such as heat disease and diabetes. Obesity is a growing epidemic and the more people know about it and its risks the more likely lifestyles will change. While researching i expect to find not so much the argument but research that shows both sides. I had done some internet research and most of the things i have found include the effects of obesity and what can cause it. I have not done in dept research to know if scholars agree with my question yet, but as i research more i hope to find some different view points. I also i hope i can find enough information as the argument and not just basic facts of obesity.
