About my topic

My research topic is about how the economic class has an effect on obesity and how does the food industry play on this through marketing. For example, all social media apps like Snapchat, Twitter, Instragram, Pinterest and etc. Throughout my food research project I am explaining how many toddlers to adolescents are starting to get many eating disorders and obesity because of many myths that are thrown out there that if both parents were or are obese then statistics show that the percentages of the young child getting obese or have any other type of eating disorder is very high. Next I am starting to question why are so many stores advertising high prices of foods on healthy foods instead of the junk food if the country is so big on " Staying fit and always working out." I also feel where I am falling short is that I need more research and fall deeper in what I am doing for my topic. Like pinpointing more examples instead of making it a broad example. Also, what I am struggling with is that I do not want to constantly keep repeating myself throughout my five to six pages of my research paper. Because if I tend to do that and not catch myself then it will be harder for me to get that far throughout my paper. I need help showing comparison of prices of how much healthy products are so expensive than really bad food and how that has played an effect on our economy.

  1. I am kind of going through the same topic relating to an economic standpoint and some of the same struggles. I felt like I was having trouble finding more specific research examples also, but what really helped me was going through the links on the last wave of the blog. Even if the links don't exactly relate, you can still use some of the credible websites to find out more on obesity. Also if you need more to write about so you don't repeat yourself, you could talk about a counter argument and then disprove it to show that you know all sides of the issue and the true reality of the obesity situation.

  2. I'm having a hard time as well figuring out what I need for my research. I try to word it differently in google and other search engines to see what I will get each time. So far, I've found some articles that have helped my argument, but I feel I need more. I feel I need more scholarly articles, but majority of the ones I find I have to download it or it's a book. I was hoping to find more medical journals and article because my paper is about obesity, but so far I've found some but I'm still missing that key part.
