The Story Behind My Topic Choice

I chose this topic for my research project because almost every other commercial that is shown states something about weight loss. Young people are being pressured more than ever to have a perfect body. Celebrities are the main ones who advertise this idea. With their advertisement they are also contradicting themselves with saying it is okay to have curves. The majority of celebrities become famous based on their looks. Celebrities are stereotyped to look a certain way so that is why the majority of them are chosen for what they do. Take models for example the only plus size models are the ones featured in Hanes commercials or for plus size women shopping outlets. Being judged by how much you weigh is becoming a major issue in the USA; since, we are already known as the fattest country in the world. The obesity rate is increasing from an even younger age in present day. Kids are learning from a young age that it is apparently okay to eat whatever you want whenever you want. Everywhere you look people seem to be getting more and more unhealthy and overweight. The type of food Americans are eating is progressively getting more artificial. With so many fast food restaurants a lot of people don’t bother to cook fresh meals anymore. Americans are getting lazier as time progress into a new technological era. This means that people are eating more microwavable food and not more freshly made veggies. We are consuming more processed food than natural food which is why a lot of young people are dying off earlier in their lives from heart problems or other dietary problems. Either America needs to get their priorities straight or we are all in for some trouble in the future. This topic may be looked at by a majority of different people but with this research project I would personally like to analyze it from a different point of view with considering my feelings towards the issue.
