Topic: Obesity in the United States
Organization: Problem/Solution

If you influence your friends and family into eating better, it becomes easier because in one of your weak moments, they can help you, and you can help them if it was the other way around. You will also not see your friends or family with fatty foods, and so therefore, you will have fewer temptations.
