I chose the topic Childhood Obesity, because it has become a national epedmic..
I plan to discuss and argue the causes, health complications, psychological effects.
Also the one controversy regarding this as far as who is to blame. Most of all
Ways to conquer this ongoing serious problem.
As far as limiting my topic, Chapter 6: Writing The Research Paper, Break long projects
Into parts. Then assemble the pieces into something whole. Roy Peter Clark (2006)
Writer and senior scholar at the Poynter Institude. Step by Step.
I will discuss the scholarly data that I researched which will include, education for the
Parents and children, testing and the different government funded programs to help
Conquer this problem. The one controvery is that two doctors say that this problem is
Only the parents fault. Dr. David Ludwig and Lindsey Murtagh About.com Pediatrics.
According to all of my research, childhood obesity is a very serious epademic.
Although there are some genetic and hormonal causes of childhood obesity, most
of the time it's caused by kids eating too much and exercising too little,
(MayoClinic.com). Symptoms may not be weight gain, they have to check with
their doctor. One of the main problems is they can develop diabeties, high blood
pressure. Also sleep disorders, metabolic syndrome, asthma and early puberty.
Another serious problem regarding this is psychological and self esteem.
All of this is very important, reason being, these are children,
