1. My purpose for writing is to inform others of the relations between fast and unhealthy food to obesity in response to prompt number two. In this day and age, more and more people are becoming obese. There are many causes to why more people are becoming obese but the unhealthy lifestyle is a major component. This selection is the best one for me to write about due to the fact that I am going into the health profession field and obesity deals with health. I have learned a lot about obesity thus far, from medical facts to facts about fast food nutrition. I believe that my peers will have a general understanding about my topic. I considered numerous other options before deciding to write my paper on obesity; my overall goal to writing my paper is to inform everyone on the alarming rates of obesity.
2. The specific topic that I plan on writing about is obesity and the factors that are making more and more people obese. Thus far, I have composed a list of reasons which I will write paragraphs on: the sedentary lifestyle, and unhealthy eating habits. Since we were reading the book, Fast Food Nation, I decided that those would be good components to in cooperate into my paper. I have limited my paper to the current time frame and geographically all over the world. I believe I will focus in more on teenagers and children for my paper.

The research that I plan on conducting is: finding valuable information about nutrition in fast food and the relationship to obesity, some underlying causes to obesity outside of nutrition, and how the sedentary lifestyle is increasing and the factors which correlate to it. Thus far, my research is going pretty well, I still need to use the databases. Daily, I plan on researching more and finding new information that will be vital to adding into my paper.
