     My topic is related to the effects that food advertisements play on the general population. I have found a lot on childhood obesity thanks to a couple others who have that topic. I've made much ground on researching for this topic, so if anyone would like help and has anything related to mine, I would be more than happy to shoot you a share to a master page of all my sources and quotes, they might point you in the right direction for your paper.
 So far in my research I have gathered quite a ton of information on the physical health such as obesity, diseases, and BMI's of the average child, teen, and adult; however, I am now looking in to the mental health conditions to food advertising, so if anyone is doing their research paper on mental health and food, maybe you could help me? I feel as if there should be a lot on women's mental health regarding advertisements, but not necessarily food advertisements? I don't know, maybe I just need to rephrase the way I am typing it into Google. Also, my research on childhood obesity seems to be getting repetitive and even conflicting, is anyone else encountering that research from different sources seem to conflict? I'm sure that the most recent statistics should be the most accurate, but I suppose it would be helpful to compare with other sources.
     In conclusion, (before I ramble on and confuse myself further), I need help finding some solid resources on mental health and food, as well as other links to childhood obesity statistics.

  1. I have had some trouble as well trying to find some key info. on child obesity. I have been researching on the same topic it should help if you research the obesity rate in the United States compared to other countries, that usually gives a variety of stats. on childhood obesity. Goodluck!

  2. I actually have a topic similar to this and I'd really appreciate if we could collaborate a little on our research to try to see what would be good to add to our reports. My topic is about the relation between ads and eating disorders so if you need anything as well I could try to help.
