The article is about how children obesisty is rapidly increasing and is it right to advertise junk food for children to see. They feel that its right only if its done responsibly. They do feel advertising snack foods with low fat is okay, but when they advertise the higher snack foods they feel that its not good for the children to be seeing them cause they could want them. Obesity rates are escalating 14.5% of 11 year olds are obese and 21.5% of 12-16 year olds are obese at this time in England. We are now event seeing type two diabetes from being overweight, and 1/3 of heart disease and cancer are realated to poor diet.

This shows me that obesity is a problem throughout the world today, and its even starting to occur with the younger age group.

I feel that this article will help me to establish my point of view with obesity because there are so many people obese now and it is really starting to become a health issue. So for this article i am against it. I am Con.

This article will help me with my decision because i don't like how the number of children and teens today that are obese. It is a health issue and seeing people get type two diabetes from being obese is horrible to hear about.

What is type two diabetes?

Why do you get it?

During my research i found that a lot of America is obese from the horrible foods we eat. If we limit our junk food and our fast food intake we can eliminate the number of obese people we have in our country. I feel that the majority of our country needs to cut back on our food intake. So if we were to limit the amount of junk food we eat in a normal day will America not be as obese?

Obesity.
I know that in this day and age a majority of America is obese. I do have a personal issue to my topic. A couple of my good family friends are obese. I sometimes feel bad for the struggles that they go through. Some people can loose the weight but others can't. There are alternative ways to loose the weight now without dieting. Many people who are 100 or more pounds overweight can use a method called lyposuction. Several humans have been resulting in lypo. There are many things i want to learn about the struggles of Obesity but this is what i know as of right now.
