Obesity in America
Karnik, Sameera. "Childhood Obesity: A Global Public Health Crisis." EBSCOhost. Web. 13 May 2012
I think this source can help me because it talks about several different factors that help to contribute to the obesity problem. It refers to the intake of higher calories. It also suggests that genetics can be a problem too. This article suggests interventions to help stop childhood obesity is a good step forward. The top intervention programs usually take place at school and works on having a lot of physical activity. The main problem to these programs are having is finding funding and having the obese children participate in them. This article believes that obesity can be tackled by education, prevention and physical activity. I could use his article to help talk about the problems that are causing obesity and what we have to do to help prevent and fix this problem.
Valdes, Pizarro. "Prevalence of Childhood Obesity in Spain." Nutricion Hospitalaria.Esbcohost. Web. 21 May 2012.
This source talks uses solid facts and uses great statistics to help prove my point. It also talks about how big of problem childhood obesity is worldwide. I think this will be useful because I can then relate the information I obtain on the United States to that of Spain and Europe’s obesity numbers. This shows how big of a problem this has become in the United States compared to other countries. This also helps to show that childhood obesity is in fact a worldwide epidemic that has to be solved. I think that this information can help relate not only to the United States but it helps to compare obesity numbers worldwide to prove a point.
