Hi Professor and Class,
I have decided to do my blog this week on:
Is there anything that you have found shocking or intriguing in the process or your research?
Yes, there are things that I have found shocking while doing my research paper. One thing that I found out about child obesity that was new to me was that child obesity has been found to be the second biggest killer in the world with over 400,000 deaths, compared to smokers which were 435,000 deaths. I think that child obesity just gets worse and worse over the years and that the parents aren't really trying to do anything to stop it. Instead, parents continue to buy their children more and more video games which makes their child never want to go outside and play real sports. Also, a child who is obese is often teased at school which causes them to have low self-esteem and eat more because of it. I found these things very shocking because I knew that child obesity was getting worse but I had no idea how bad it has actually got and what it actually does to the child mentally. Doing this research paper has helped me understand child obesity a lot more and I am actually glad I chose this to be my topic. It has became very interesting to me.
