My essay is going to be centered around the obesity in America. When this assignment was assigned I knew right away what I wanted to write about. We have had many great discussions based upon our readings and videos we have seen. With that being said I feel as though every discussion has involved pointing the finger at someone else. Some topics including the slaughterhouse issues and greed of large food corporations rightfully lead to finger pointing. These are issues that need immediate attention. Another question that I have yet to hear a lot about is why are Americans viewed as lazy and fat? The answer is simple, we are! There are plenty of statistics out there that back this claim up in full. I will try to cover topics such as the lack of exercise in Americans today as well as the issues with fast food restaurants. I know that my essay may bring about some people who disagree with me as well as those who agree. I look forward to hopefully holding some discussions about these topics!
