What I Already Know About My Topic

The most important thing that I already know about my topic is that it is a very big issue in North America; because, of the way we consume our daily calories. With this country-being the only country- people are seen as progressively growing in size. Obesity and over-eating are seen as a problem but they are not always addressed in that way. Americans have grown up on foods that are artificially preserved and rather very unhealthy for you. As the generation gets younger and younger the food is less and less freshly made. The young people of these times are not being made aware of the dangers that occur from over-eating. Heart failure and diabetes are starting to affect our youth more and more which could become a national crisis if the youth does not change their eating habits. The important things that I already know about the public pressuring the youth to have a perfect physical persona is that it is becoming a demoralizing topic to be discussed. This greatly affects the average teenage girl. Teenage girls are told from a young age that you need to look like this way or that way. Growing up through the teenage years is hard enough but with emotional problems toward the way you look can damage a young teen into their future life. Eating disorders are a big problem across the nation with the younger generation and it is getting disturbingly more and more popular with young girls. If these harsh realities change then maybe higher self esteem will be bestowed upon the upcoming gernerations. Combining all three of the problems into one research paper will definitely bring positive and or negative attention to the general public.

  1. This is very interesting Ryley. I think that this would be really informative to the youth, including myself, and I really can't wait to see what you have in store for us:)
