Well, I decided to do my research topic on how we can help low income families in California prevent childhood obesity and help with the children that already have obesity. I honestly don't know how I decided to choose the topic of childhood obesity. Now that I have learned more about my topic, it concerns me that a great amount of children in the United States are obese. According to one of my articles, one in five children in the United States is overweight. One of the main reasons why so many kids are obese is because healthy foods are expensive. It upsets me to see that healthy foods like fruits and vegetables are more expensive than junk foods like a cheeseburger. In most cases, families can only afford cheeseburgers or other unhealthy foods because of the prices of healthy foods. It's quite simple, if we all come together and press the government about this issue then it will be resolved because it's an important problem that only keeps growing. Through my research, I hope to find organizations that are trying to prevent or help kids with childhood obesity. If you think about it, we rarely see any commercials or billboards relating to obesity. The question I would like to ask my classmates is how can someone start an organization to help children that are obese? Maybe someday in the future I can start one of these organizations. Hopefully this blog made you more aware of the obesity affecting a great number of children.
