One Step at a Time – Jordin Sparks I’ve always thought that I should rush things. It’s like time is always running out. But as I rush myself into things‚ I always end up repeating what I started.

Obesity is a problem that needs to be fixed. It’s a hard task to accomplish‚ but it’s possible we just need to get started. The main reason obesity is rising is because of the cheaply sold restaurant foods. My idea is to shut down unhealthy fast food restaurants‚ but that is obviously not possible.

Synthesis Essay “Sixteen-point nine percent of children and teens are obese” (Huffington Post). Childhood obesity is becoming a greater problem in today’s society because of the readily availability of foods‚ appealing commercials‚ and the children themselves. I think that food industries are out to make money without offering healthier alternatives or taking an interest on how it affects the children. With more sugary foods being developed‚ kids are more prone to wanting to have that food in their
