Carol asks…

writing an essay about obesity (Please help?)?

I’m writing a essay about obesity, and I really need help. I’ve never been to good at writing essays to begin with, but this one is very important to my grade so I need to do good on it. It’s a problem/solution essay with the topic being “Obesity in America”. Can somebody please give me some info on the topic… Or a good, reliable websites where I can find the information myself. Also, could somebody help me on how i can start this? Im pretty stuck..

admin answers:

Well, a good writer has a beginning, middle and an ending.

Start off your paper with something along these lines…”Obesity in American households has grown. Primarily due to the fact of the fast food chains and the growing number of people who choose quick microwaveable food instead of concentrating their efforts on nutrition.”

That’s a good start on it. That way you are addressing that there is a problem. In your middle section you could include some statistics related to your essay (such as 94% of Americans eat fast food 3 times a week).

Your ending would start off with something like this “In conclusion (blah blah blah).

Good luck to you.

Thomas asks…

I need a good thesis statement for the causes & effects of obesity?

I am writing a cause & effect essay and I chose the topic of obesity. My paragraph topics for this essay are: psychological factors, environmental factors, and the genetic factors. Please help me come up with an effective thesis statement for my essay.

admin answers:

It’s certainly true that no one factor can be pinpointed as the definitive cause of obesity; rather, obesity strikes for a plethora of reasons. The three most outstanding factors in the onset of obesity are those psychological, environmental, and genetic.

Steven asks…

Is Childhoood obesity societys problem?DISCURSIVE ESSAY TOPIC.?

admin answers:

Yes because society dosn’t make the outside enviroment a safe place for children to play so because of this there is a lack of exercise
no because it is a parents responsibility to make sure their child eats right and takes excercise but in this day and age with both parents working to provide for their family sometimes its quicker to do them a quick snack that is usually unhealthy or shove a meal in the microwave. So really its mostly down to the parents but society could help.

Your Questions About Childhood Obesity Essay

Richard asks…

What is a good way introduce an argumentative essay about childhood obesity?

admin answers:

Childhood obesity is a due to poor parenting skills.

An obese child should be forced to diet

Leave the fat kids alone with their potato chips

Joseph asks…

What is a good argument for a college essay on childhood obesity?

REGARDING WITH FOOD

admin answers:

That only in America are the poor overweight. If you are poor in Ecuador, you are not overweight, you are very thin and malnutritioned. The cheapest foods in the US have the highest sodium and fat, and least fiber and protein. Therefore those on foodstamps are forced to choose what will fit inside the dollar amount they get. Pass the fat, salt and carbs please.

When the older overweight teen cannot find a job because potential employers think that maybe the kid “clearly doesn’t care about himself” because he is a little overweight (not to mention the health insurance premium), he may decide to join the military to get paid. This is how many in poverty work their way up to middle class. Only now, because he is overweight, he will be turned away and told to come back when he “loses 40″. He may or may not know how to do that or have the tools being only 18 and poor.

Essentially it becomes a matter of national security when our poor are overweight cannot voluntarilty enlist like I did. We will have less and less qualifying potential Soldiers, Sailors and Marines. Is ConAgra foods deliberately trying to subvert our nation? Or can they not see beyond the dollar signs?

Essentially obesity in America is a poverty, keeps the poor poorer, and cripples our pool of military candidates.

The irony is that years ago our poor were underweight (as is natural in every other nation) but we needed more potential enlistees to draft, so we offered free lunch and breakfast, full of fat and carbs and salt to keep the weight on in schools. Now it has backlashed 50 years later. And they cannot enlist for the very opposite reason.

Thank you.

If you use this, I promise you no one in your class will have made the connection before.

Easy A.

The conclusion I draw is that it is not healthy for our food prices to be conversely related to our calori and fat content.

Michael asks…

Would childhood obesity be a good persuasive essay topic?

i was going to use this as my topic for my essay and i was gonna explain how the media like advertisements affect children eating habits and what can be done to combat childhood obesity like having healthier foods in schools and educating the children about exercise etc…

admin answers:

This is a great essay topic because this is currently one of the biggest problems we have here in America. Children are over eating and don’t understand the value of healthy food. We even have a show called The Biggest Loser, which (if you seen it) is based on adults who are overweight and in danger of loosing their battle with obesity.

It’s a good idea to get the knowledge out there and if you could some how show people how much sugar is in soda they might stop drinking soda all together.

Blessings

David asks…

I have to write an essay over “Parents are responsible for childhood obesity.” What are some points I can use?

I have to write 3 body paragraphs. It is a persuasive essay and I am persuading this is true. So I need some points to prove it. Can anyone give me some ideas?

admin answers:

A healthy diet is somethi.g that is taught by parents, kids need motivation from authority figures to exercise, patents need to fill the house with healthy food choices, parents need to stop allowing their kids so much video game and computer time, go outside with ur kids and teach them to play outside

Lizzie asks…

Childhood Obesity Research Essay….Help!!?

I need some help on how to break down my paragraphs. This is my first research essay, so I just need some ideas to get the brain juices flowin’.

admin answers:

What grade are you in? The types of essays you write really depends on your academic level.

For Middle School and High School, you generally want to reserve your introduction paragraph for your thesis statement. Meaning, what are you trying to argue about Childhood Obesity. For example: “Childhood Obesity is an incurable problem unless fast food industries are closed down”. In addition, the introduction paragraph should have a hook of some sort and start with a broad picture, then narrows down into your niche topic.

Proceeding paragraphs would be the different topics your arguing and your evidences. Each paragraph should have 3 pieces of concrete, factual evidence, and 3 pieces of commentary. The number of paragraphs depends on how in-depth you’re going with the essay.

The conclusion is the tie-up of everything. It’s the summary, and a restatement of your thesis. In my opinion, conclusion is often the hardest part of the essay because you want the audience to feel like your argument was valid.

In college, this rubric rarely applies. It’s a good layout to follow by if you want a substandard essay, but often times college professors want something more unique. I myself had to write my thesis at the end of my essay.

Good luck!

Is this the new Oath of enlistment for the Army?

US ARMY OATH OF ENLISTMENT
“I, Rambo, swear to sign away 4 years of my mediocre life to the
UNITED STATES ARMY because I couldn’t score high enough on the ASVAB
to
get
into the Air Force, I’m not tough enough for the Marines, and the Navy
won’t take me because I can’t swim.
I will wear camouflage every day and tuck my trousers into my boots
because I can’t figure out how to use blousing straps. I promise to
wear
my
uniform 24 hours a day even when I have a date.
I will continue to tell myself that I am a fierce killing machine
because my Drill Sergeant told me I am, despite the fact that the only
action I
will see is a Court-Martial for sexual harassment. I acknowledge the
fact
that I will make E-8 in my first year of
service, and vow to maintain that it is because I scored perfect on my
PT
test.
After completion of my Sexual…..er…..I mean “Basic Training,” I
will attend a different Army school every other month and return
knowing
less than I did when I left. On my first trip home after Boot Camp, I
will
walk around like I am
cool and propose to my 9th grade sweetheart. I will make my wife stay
home
because if I let her out she might leave me for a better-looking Air
Force
guy.
Should she leave me twelve times, I will continue to take her back.
While at work, I will maintain a look of knowledge while getting
absolutely nothing accomplished. I will arrive to work every day at
1000
hrs
because of morning PT and leave everyday at 1300 to report back to
“COMPANY.”
I understand that I will undergo no training whatsoever that will
help me get a job upon separation, and will end up working
construction
with
my friends from high school. I will brag to everyone about the Army
giving
me $30,000 for
college, but will be unable to use it because I can’t pass a placement
exam. So Help
Me God!”

i havea sister whos been in the army almost 4 years….shes home onleave and is upset she got a 3/2 rating….i dont know if its a pt test score or an overall evaluation…she is a few pounds overweigh and has had a cpl issues with pt…but my understanding is that she was doing well in the military…shes more upset at her superiors and she feels lack of respect…shes transferring so whatever it was it was given to her as she was signing off and leaving for the transfer…i did some research…and i dont really understand all the army lingo (and shes more mad than upset it seams.shes said the following things about it….”stupid isn’t it? it’s funny because the “bullets” contradict what the rating says, lol!! You can tell they copied and pasted from someone else’s “,and “Ya know Im just hoping they don’t treat any other NCO’s like they did me. I didn’t even get a goodbye formation….so sad. Makes me feel like they really didn’t care :( “…we arent very close so i didnt dig as to not anger her….but from my research, it could be promotion rating(if so is that good or bad)….also saw a few posts about a similar rating being given o someone who was discharged, as a side note she veery recently married a lower ranking soldier….so im concerned that maybe shes just going to the new base so they can be together(cause shes done right at 4 years active….and she hasnt mentioned reinlistment in about a year…), im trying not to start family drama as i said by pushing the subject….she has also stated that she doesnt want any of the family members to visit, as we havent met her husband who is at the new base(leaving base names out for obvious reasons)….and she wasnt stationed on the mainland….but where shes going is a base in the southeast…i have heard her talking to other military friends i assume from the base she left…and they seem to think or at least say that she got dealt an unfair rating…about all the info i have…but she is my sis…so if somethings bad, id like the chance to understand it and comfort her….at this point im afraid to even comment about it to her…thanks for any help…

admin answers:

DA Form 2166-8 is the NCO Evaluation Report:

http://armypubs.army.mil/eforms/pdf/A2166_8.pdf

If you scroll to the bottom of the second page (Part V block c) you will notice Senior Rater evaluations

3/2 means she got a 3 (Successful) under Overall Performance and 2 (under potential)

While she didn’t get “maxed out” (as in a 1/1) it isn’t disastrous or bad.

Laura asks…

can i join the army with 3 misdemenores without a ged?

can i join the u.s. army with 3 misdemenores and with out a ged in october when the new fiscal year starts? i heard that there is a better chance of getting in when the new fiscal year starts. also i feel that i will score high on asvab and i can already pass my pt test.

admin answers:

No you will need at least a GED or High School diploma to get in. Having neither you can’t enlist in any branch. Can’t even hardly join with a GED anymore for that matter unless you have college.

Michael asks…

New Oaths of Enlistment?

US AIR FORCE OATH OF ENLISTMENT

“I, (State your name), swear to sign away 4 years of my life to the UNITED STATES AIR FORCE because I know I couldn’t hack it in the Army, because the Marines frighten me, and because I am afraid of water over waist-deep. I swear to sit behind a desk. I also swear not to do any form of real exercise, but promise to defend our bike- riding test as a valid form of exercise. I promise to walk around calling everyone by their first name because I find it amusing to annoy the other services.

I will have a better quality of life than those around me and will, at all times, be sure to make them aware of that fact. After completion of “Basic Training”, I will be a lean, mean, donut-eating, Lazy-Boy sitting, civilian-wearing-blue-clothes, Chair-borne Ranger. I will believe I am superior to all others and will make an effort to clean the knife before stabbing the next person in the back. I will annoy those around me, and will go home early every day. So Help Me God!”

US NAVY OATH OF ENLISTMENT

“I, Top Gun, in lieu of going to prison, swear to sign away 4 years of my life to the UNITED STATES NAVY, because I want to hang out with Marines without actually having to BE one of them, because I thought the Air Force was too “corporate,” because I didn’t want to actually live in dirt like the Army, and because I thought, “Hey, I like to swim…why not?” I promise to wear clothes that went out of style in 1976 and to have my name stenciled on the butt of every pair of pants I own. I understand that I will be mistaken for the Good Humor Man during summer, and for Nazi Waffen SS during the winter. I will strive to use a different language than the rest of the English-speaking world, using words like “deck, bulkhead, cover, geedunk, scuttlebutt, scuttle and head,” when I really mean “floor, wall, hat, candy, water fountain, hole in wall and toilet.”

I will take great pride in the fact that all Navy acronyms, rank, and insignia, and everything else for that matter, are completely different from the other services and make absolutely no sense whatsoever. I will muster, whatever that is, at 0700 every morning unless I am buddy-buddy with the Chief, in which case I will show up around 0930. I vow to hone my coffee cup-handling skills to the point that I can stand up in a kayak being tossed around in a typhoon, and still not spill a drop. I consent to being promoted and subsequently busted at least twice per fiscal year. I realize that, once selected for Chief, I am required to submit myself to the sick, and quite possibly illegal, whims of my newfound “colleagues.” So Help Me Neptune!”

Your Questions About Army Pt Chart

David asks…

Where can you find the new army pt charts?

admin answers:

United states army web site, of military.com. Also type AFPT in a google search you will find it.

Ken asks…

Army PT workout – Need a week long day by day breakdown.?

I am dating a 1stSgt and lately I have been less than super scheduled with my workouts, well needless to say I have put on about 6 pounds in the past 3 months, 1stSgt didn’t say anything but I know he noticed.

I want to get a break down of daily PT so I can get up to his level. I have asked him for it but he just tells me this or that, I need specific goals.

Like 6 min mile for 3 miles, or 89 pushups in a min, stuff like that.

So any charts would be great, or workout plans. THANKS!!

admin answers:

I know this isn’t Army but here is a Marine Video that might help you PT and get in shape.

Donna asks…

Can I join the Army again?

I received a general discharge in 1998 for failure to pass the PT test in Colorado. A year after my discharge the PT chart changed and my scores would have been a passing PT. (DARN). I never was written up of got in any kind of trouble other than that stupid PT TEST! So I’m 32 now and thinking of joining again. Can I?

admin answers:

Look at your DD 214, Look for the RE code. If its a “4″, forget it. When is bad on the outside…the military builds up. Reenlistment bonus have drop. But check with the recruiter to see for sure.

Mandy asks…

Question about PT requirements?

I am looking at the PT requirement charts and am unable to understand it..

http://usmilitary.about.com/od/army/l/blfitm22to26.htm

I am required to do 60 pushups in one sitting? Or do I get breaks in between? Not sure what a repetition is according to the military….lol

Please explain! I can complete all but the pushup part.

Also, will we have to do pullups as well?

admin answers:

This is how it works you have 2 minutes and you can’t stop to do 80 push ups to get a 100 on the push portion of the test. Then you get a short rest and have to do sit ups as many as you can in 2 minutes with your hands behind your head. A final rest then its time for the 2 mile run. All exercise are preformed consecutively. So one sitting for each of the test.
Way to get more reps fast. For 2 or more hours do sets of 30, 40, 50 reps whatever you can handle every 10 minutes for the time. Watch tv do something but every ten mins drop. If 30s too much do 10 or 20. If this doesn’t work hit the gym and start bench pressing because you need more pectoral muscle.

Your Questions About Complex Carbohydrates Are Found In What Foods

Daniel asks…

what are complex Carbohydrates?what foods are they found in?are they good or bad?

are fruits simple or complex Carbohydrates?
are carbs from fruits bad or good carbs?

admin answers:

I believe these will explain it:

http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-complex-carbohydrates.htm

http://www.livestrong.com/article/27398-list-complex-carbohydrates-foods

(Btw, most veggies are not simple carbohydrates, and neither are many of the things we think of as fruits.)

Betty asks…

What additional nutrients are found in foods that contain complex carbohydrates?

admin answers:

I don’t understand the question. Complex carbs are just carbs. They simply take a little longer to digest than simple carbs. They both turn to sugar in your system, giving you an energy boost along with a spike in your blood sugar. But the fact that they’re carbs doesn’t change the vitamins/minerals they contain.

I’m a top class athlete. How can I?

I’m 15 years old and I’m a competitive swimmer, I’m already Pescetarian but I was wondering how I could come up with a healthy vegan diet. I guess what I’m asking is, how can I calculate how much of each food group I should be eating and where to find it. I need to have a relatively high intake of complex carbohydrates and protein, which I already know but my team don’t know what I can eat other than beans that have these in them.

If it helps, I train everyday at least 3 or 4 hours and try to run and least 5 miles a day.

Also, does anyone know of any existing vegan swimmers?

Thank you for your time.
I don’t eat meat substitutes either.

admin answers:

You will want to get this book; it is the ultimate authority for vegan athletes. Special order it at Barnes N Noble.

Http://www.brendanbrazier.com/book/index.html

The author is an Ironman Triathlete and swims a lot. He also has won multiple 50K ultra marathons.

Good Luck!

The results will be UNREAL

Additional Details: He is against imitation meat as well! Vegans eat that stuff at every meal so he preaches a soy free diet. This way if you shoot for soy free you will end up at a very minimal soy level.

Hemp, rice and pea protein should be mixed to form the ultimate amino acid profile.

What are a few ideas for a photo essay, that has to do with a current issue(s)?

Were supposed to create a persuasive photo essay, that also has to do with values, with the use of a current issue (eg. Global warming, Whaling, Abortion). I’ve made a few points mainly outlining values that the photo essay could be based around. Feel free to expand on these points, or write a few more. Please write anything you can, I really appreciate it:)

*Education
*Family
*Friendship
*Courage/Determination
*Culture
*Individuality/diversity
*Acceptance
*Unity
*Nature/Environment (may link with environmental issues, such as global warming etc)
*Relationships (family, partners, friends etc)
*Universal love

*Freedom
*Youth

Thank you!
Also, if you don’t have anything nice or useful to say, then please don’t!
I wouldn’t do that to you!

admin answers:

I would choose freedom. And would expose how photography liberated the world of images and at the same time made us slaves of them
I didn’ choose universal love because this never existed, just in saints maybe, and men use to bring up barriers and consider the differents as strangers to defend their own interests. Well, Stieglitz was from Germany, Andy Warhol from I don’t know where and Man Ray hat to go to Paris to make art

Your Questions About Good Questions About Obesity

Mark asks…

Why are people so tolerant of fat people?

I recently asked a good question on here that unfortunately got wrongfully deleted. The question was asking fat people the reason why they are fat, and don’t do anything about it. The answers had leaned most towards people simply not caring, and saying they are happy being fat. Sure there are rare diseases some people may have but that’s the minority. One answerer made a good point (although a point I already knew), that thats america is simply way too tolerant of fat people.

Now before you guys go thinking “This guy is some idiot who has been naturally skinny all his life”, let me tell you, I’m not and come from obese parents. My mom died around her 50s due primarily to extreme obesity, and my dad in his 60s is so big he can’t walk, and spends 95% of his life in bed. I also became a fat kid before I knew any better. I’m definetly at a genecical disadvantage, It is much harder for me to loose weight, yet through a strict diet, and exercise, I manage to be in very good shape, I could just about be on a magazine cover. Point being, I know what its like.

Anyways, on to the real question. Why are people so tolerant of fat people, and act like its perfectly ok? It simply is not ok. Statistics prove obesity is one of the largest preventable killers in america, along with cigarettes, and higher than illegal drugs. It causes all sorts of other health complications.

The only valid argument I’ve really heard before is people say “Well, that person is happy being fat”. Well, I think that is a big lie and excuse. Sure they may be somewhat a happy person, but they would be much happier if they were skinny. I mean, your giving up sooo many of lifes simple pleasures (or at the very least making them much more difficult), like getting into a canoe, or going on a good hike, or playing sports, being too heavy to skydive, or simply being able to walk up a flight of stairs without getting out of breath. The list could go on and on, there are simply so many of lifes pleasures they cannot do, or struggle to do. People seem to mostly agree that cigarettes are bad, and that illegal drugs are bad, why do so many people tolerate obesity as not being a problem?

Obesity also affects the non obese in negative ways also, for a couple examples
-The healthcare situation. If everyone lived healthy, and only needed to see a doctor about once every 10 years like me, everyone’s health insurance would be so much cheaper. But you’ve got all these fat and obese people with all their obesity related health problems, constantly needing medical attention, prescription drugs, etc. It skyrockets everyone’s cost.
-Just being in public with them. You go to a parking lot, what do you see? Rather than just pull into a good spot and go. A fat person cruises around and around trying to find a close spot. They spend more time driving than the walk would have taken. I constantly see fat people spending 10 minutes waiting for someone to put all their groceries and family in the car to take their spot, when there will be open spots just 30 feet further away. They screw up all the traffic in the parking lots, then you get in the store and they are blocking aisles, can’t turn their heads far enough to even be aware of their surroundings, etc.
-The food situation. Their are so many fat people demanding all these horrible high fat foods, that these extremely unhealty foods become the most common in america, and make it much more difficult for a healty eater to eat. I wish I could just pull up to any fast food restaurant and get a HEALTHY meal, but I can’t, 90% of any fast food is too unhealty for me to eat. Makes it a hassle, since I have to mostly cook my own food, or eat at the select few places that have a healthy dish.

That’s just 3 examples that come to mind, there are many more. The only good thing they do is make the skinny and athletic people look even better.

So, long winded question, but back to the just of it why are people so tolerant of fat people, and act like its perfectly OK, when its not?
I’ve had some good answers so far, especially TequilaRose, Rebecca, Lalala, and Cat. Keep them coming.

Just to clarify, I’m not trying to say they should be “ridiculed”, but I believe it should not be accepted and told that it is ok to be fat, because it is not.

I’m saying this both for their own good, and public in general. Same way I’ll tell a smoker they should not smoke, and same way I’ll tell a druggie they should not do drugs.

And anyone who disagrees with me, please explain your position better like Magenta did, as to why they should be accepted. Anyone who disagrees but cannot justify their position any better than giving a “your an idiot” type of answer, obviously does hot have a good point.

Yes, there are people such as CAT and others who have health conditions or diseases causing their conditions, those people are excluded, since I’m main talking about people who choose to be fat.
Also, fat people DO affect the food supply. Just like CAT stated, healthier foods do indeed cost more than unhealthy foods.

Take me for example, I will never ever even touch sausage, hot dogs, bacon, butter, oils, mayonaise, anything at all that has been fried, or anything else with too much fat. Never. And I will always buy the healthiest, lowest fat version of any food. For example, I will never get 2% milk ever, only skim. I will never buy hamburger with more than 4% fat. I highly avoid msg, hfcs, artaficial sweeteners, etc. If everyone else was as health conscious, all those unhealthy foods would cease to exist and be replaced by healthier foods. If everyone else was like me, and refused to buy 95% of the food from fast food restaurants, they would end up changing over to healthier foods.

With healthier foods more plentiful, it would be easier for everyone, and the world would be a better place. More people would be active, and more places to be active would be built.

admin answers:

I agree with you completely. Smokers get dirty looks and have to huddle off to designated areas – why are we forced to accept obesity as normal? For most people it is a choice as well. I think it’s more a case that THE TRUTH HURTS. Obese people don’t like admitting they have a responsibility for their bodies. Many people shirk responsibility in many areas of life – and obesity is just one that is easy to see. Deadbeats dads, painkiller addicts, and child molesters aren’t recognizable on the street.

Yes I just put fat people in league with sex offenders. BRING ON MY THUMBS DOWN. It’s still my opinion and I have a right to it. Obesity is NOT OK.

Susan asks…

Are there any good ways or tools to help morbidly obese people bathe themselves?

Serious answers please. I have a friend who is extremely obese and in a wheel chair. She has a significant problem with body odor, her clothes are always dirty and her hair is always dirty. She is really smart and a wonderful person and everyone who meets her really likes her. We sometimes go places together and her smell is at times overpowering and her personal appearance doesn’t match the intelligent, put-together woman that she is. Surely there has to be a way for her to get clean. I imagine that she doesn’t clean herself because it is too difficult. The degree of her obesity is to the point that her belly goes down past her knees. Does anyone know how morbidly obese people clean themselves? Are there any special tools or modalities? Also, what would be a good idea on how to bring this up to her? We are very close.

I am not asking a question that requires judgement about her obesity or character. She has a medical condition.

admin answers:

I am also very obese, I weigh close to 700lbs. Hygiene is a great challenge when you are this big but also manageable. I utilize several items I got from the website Amplestuff.com, like extended sponges and oversized towels, and also some supplies from a medical supply store, including a bidet for toilet cleaning, a sturdy shower bench, and an extended shower head. I do require some assistance so my wife will assist with making sure I am completely dry and powdered to avoid infections. It is not by any means fun, but the effort is worth it. I know that people judge me as a very very large person already, so I believe I need to give them as little to target about me as possible. I hope this helps!

Sandra asks…

Try to answer all questions, and long answers will most likely be chosen XD

admin answers:

I think you’re diet is very…what…..exceptionally well thought out? I like you’re idea’s, and even though you’re young, you are mature enough to understand the way of a fit life……GOOD JOB!

Answer to #1:YES! In a good and bad way…you’re teachers may be concerned about you’re weight loss, because the truth is, the result you want to achieve may make you more skinny and that’s all. You’re skin may sag, and you may find a bad skin reaction. You also might get too addicted to you’re weight loss, and that’s very bad.
While making yourself skinnier and more attractive (if that’s what your basic aim is to) you still need to maintain the healthiness in you’re skin by regularly exfoliating, washing and moisturizing, that includes taking more showers and keeping on top of you’re hygiene. You’re ‘Makeover’ cannot be completed over the summer, and it will take a long time for you to actually make a changing appearance.

Answer to #2:It varies. The reactions are going to be both good and bad, it REALLY depends….everyone has their own views, right? Just keep healthy, and don’t get anorexic….that could end badly and people could start labeling you as a ‘Wannabe’ or ….etc

Answer to #3:Yeah, its good.

Answer to #4:It depends on what you already look like and how intense you’re diet is….don’t OVERDUE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Probably until you’re and adult.

OVERALL: Keep in mind, the key to a healthier lifestyle is inspiration and thinking you can do it in you’re head.
KEEP IT TO A MINIMUM, STAY HEALTHY, BE HAPPIER! A hundred laughs a day can equal a ten mile walk.!

!!!!!!ALSO!!!!!!
Drinking water is EXTREMELY GOOD FOR YOU!!!!
It makes you lose A LOT OF WEIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am effing serious!

admin answers:

I think it’s great that you’re doing this while you’re still young! It will take a lot of dedication and hard work. You’ve put a lot of thought into this, I can tell. If you haven’t shared your plan with some close friends or family members, you should, because they can be a good support system (and you’ll need one, especially during tough times like holidays when the goodies come out).
I’m sure that if you exercise regularly and stick to your diet that you will really amaze yourself and your classmates! I don’t know if you’ll be able to pull off a six pack in 7 months, but if you really stick with your plan, and increase your cardio workouts as you build endurance, then you could definitely get there in a few years.
You’ll look better and feel better for sticking to a healthy lifestyle. When you take care of yourself, people will notice. You’ll be a positive person because positive things will be happening to your body– and people like to be around positive people!
You will definitely get people’s attention. There are always naysayers, but I think most people will be supportive of you. You might even inspire some other people to improve themselves.
I think that as long as you’re getting the proper nutrients, and you don’t overdue it too much in the initial exercises, you’ll be fine. Getting friends and family involved will help you to make sure that you’re losing weight in a healthy way.
Don’t be discouraged if you don’t see the results you want right away. It may take time, but it can happen! =)
Best of luck to you! You’re right, it’s not impossible.

Your Questions About Working Out Is A Lifestyle Quote

Chris asks…

What do you think about this quote?

I know that crossing the border without permission is wrong but when people are desperate to provide food for their families they will do anything to survive. Americans are very fortunate and somehow and somewhere have lost their human compassion and have fallen into this souless creatures. I rather have illegals come in and work for their food then provide a bunch of lazy americans with welfare because they feel we should carry them and the generations they are breeding with the same lifestyle. I feel the people with hatred, racism and black hearts are the only people who call them criminals. When people are hungry all reasoning is out the window
By the way I didn’t make it.
I will repeat I didn’t make this quote some racist Mexican girl did heres the link lay off me man1 I just wanted to show some people how Mexicans view americans. Her name is Yvette.

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AjDoZVmjb6oiC1r.APcZkfXzy6IX?qid=20061116012443AA6yfV3

admin answers:

I believe we as Americans are the most fortunate people in the world, but that doesn’t mean we can solve the world’s problems. We have never turned people away. The problem is that the people crossing the border illegally are not JUST hungry, decent, hardworking humans. There are terrorists, drug dealers, rapists, and murders also coming through. We have to abide by our laws and so should anyone else who wants to be an American. That is also part of the problem. Some want to come here and take advantage of our great nation, but don’t want to be a part of it. They still raise their Mother Country’s flag instead of ours, they speak their native language instead of ours. They do not want to pay taxes like all Americans should. What is the difference if we have lazy Americans or if we have illegals using our system and our tax dollars? If you want to be in America, then you need to do it the legal way and become an American. Only then are you entitled to our freedoms and rights.

Jenny asks…

Which quote best illustrates the ‘Lets Grow Government’ Crowds mentality?

(2) “It’s my parents fault for bringing me into this world and they owe me a living for that”!

(3) “I don’t mind showing up for work, but it’s MEAN that they expect me to be productive while at work”.

(4) “Communalism didn’t fail in the Soviet Union, the Soviet people failed communalism”.

(5) “Make as much money as you desire like it’s a capitalist system. Just make sure to pay ME my fair share of what YOU make”.

(6) “Oh gaaawd, my mother just died & I’m only 47 yrs old. Who else can I find to live with that will take care of me like she did”?

(7) “Get a job & drop public assistance? Why would I drop public assistance like it would ruin my lifestyle?”

(8) “Work fascinates me, I can lay back & watch it all day long.”

(9) “Capitalism?!!! That system is only for the SELFISH exploiters amongst society.”

(10) “I’d relocate to Cuba, but I could not afford the reduction in public assistance benefits.”

(11) “When I grow up I want to be a revenue agent.”

(12) “The secret to my success is that I found out it’s easier to bring down upper class folks to my level, than it is to work hard to get up to their level.”

(13) “Why should I waste my time & energy on thinking for myself? I put politicians into office that do the thinking for me!”

Sharon asks…

Can someone correct this essay!! It’s not a book report it’s a character trait!!look out for grammer errors!!!

The book So B. It by Sarah Weeks leads to a character named Heidi who doesn’t know when her birthday is or who her father is. In fact, the past of Heidi and her mother is a mystery. Heidi lives in an odd lifestyle with her mentally disabled mother and their neighbor Bernadette. Heidi always has luck, and it points her to the right direction, but Heidi wonders more about who she is, where she came from, and why is it only she and her mother. When a mysterious word comes out of her mother’s vocabulary, starts to haunt Heidi, and leads her to Liberty, New York, in search of her mother’s past and most importantly her past.
The main character Heidi shows three main characteristic eager, brave, and smart.
The character Heidi is eager. Even if Heidi doesn’t know her past, she has a lead, and she is eager to find what her mother’s past was about and most importantly her own past. She demonstrates this characteristic when she made a big decision to go out of Nevada to Hilltop home. She wanted to go to find a person named Thurman Hill to get information from an old photo Heidi had found in an old camera. Supposedly the photo was from a Christmas party that her mom was in. Another example of this trait occurs when Heidi made a phone call to Greyhound from a phone booth that was outside, and she found out two important things. One, was that it cost $313 for a round-trip ticket to Liberty to Liberty, New York, and two, she had to be fifteen years or older to travel across the country by herself. Heidi decided to get her money from a slot machine since she knew she had a lot of luck through her life. A quote from the story reveals this trait clearly, “You think I’ll forget about soof and Hilltop and all the rest of it, you want me to forget, but I won’t. If I do, I’ll end up like Mama, full of missing pieces.” Heidi’s drastic plans show how eager she is to find out why her mom keeps saying the word soof, and also what the photograph has to do with the word. And so, Heidi is an eager character.
The character Heidi is brave. When she finds old photographs of her mom at a Christmas party, she’s brave enough to go on a cross-country journey by herself from Nevada to Liberty, New York on a bus. This shows that the character is brave because she has the courage to do something that no twelve years old could do. Heidi had never been to New York and never traveled alone. Heidi said to herself that she would have to go to New York no matter what. This demonstrates that nothing could stop her in search of her past and also her mother’s. And so, Heidi is a brave character.
The character Heidi is smart in unique ways. Even though she’s only twelve years old she’s determined to get to liberty, New York to ask Mr. Hilltop about her mother’s past. She demonstrates this characteristic when she wants money for a bus ticket and she uses her talent in winning that money from a slot machine. Another example of this trait occurs when she wins the money and has to count the quarters so it makes $313. A thought from Heidi reveals this trait clearly, “It was early in the morning and nobody was around to pay attention, so I squat down next to the machine and counted out my winnings. Twelve hundred fifty-six quarters. One dollar more than I needed.” This demonstrates that even if Heidi didn’t have a lot of time to study she was very smart in math. And so, Heidi is a smart character.
Heidi’s eager, brave and smart through out the whole book and that makes her an exciting and hard working character. Heidi expresses emotion in every thing she says and makes the book more interesting than it already is. So B. It is such an amazing and sad book, because there is a lot of suspense going on and heartbreaking moments, and an unforgettable book.

It by Sarah Weeks there is a character named Heidi who doesn’t know when her birthday is or who her father is.] (general coherence) In fact, the past of Heidi and her mother is a mystery. Heidi lives in an odd lifestyle with her mentally disabled mother and their neighbor Bernadette. Heidi always has luck, and it points her [in] (to implies that it’s leading her to a definite destination) the right direction, but Heidi wonders more about who she is, where she came from, and why [her father isn't there.] (general coherence) [Heidi's mother says a mysterious word, "soof, " that starts to haunt Heidi, and leads her to Liberty, New York, to search for answers about her and her mother's past.] (coherence and parallel structure – I think you should mention the word here so it makes sense when you say it later)
[The main character, Heidi, shows three main characteristics: eagerness, bravery, and intelligence.] (You have to set of the appositive, Heidi, with commas. You need a colon after characteristics to show that you are beginning a list. You have to change the words from their adjective form to noun form to list them as things.)
()[The words, the character, are not necessary.]Heidi is eager. Even [though] Heidi doesn’t know [anything about] her past, she has a lead, and she is eager to find [answers about her and her mother's past.] She demonstrat[ed] (Because made is past tense demonstrated has to be too. You can’t change tenses in the middle of a sentence.) this characteristic when she made a big decision to go out of Nevada to Hilltop home. She wanted to go to find a person named Thurman Hill to get information from an old photo [she] (When you begin with Heidi and then say she, it reads like your are referring to two different people.) had found in an old camera. [She thought the photograph was from a Christmas party that her mother had attended.] (The sentence has to be rephrased because you can’t end with a preposition.) Another [example of Heidi's eagerness occured when she made a phone call to Greyhound from [an outdoor phone booth], and she found out two important things. [The first] was that it cost $313 for a round-trip ticket to Liberty, and [the second] was that she had to be fifteen years or older to travel across the country by herself. Heidi decided to get her money from a slot machine since she knew she had a lot of luck through her life. A quote from the story reveals this trait clearly, “You think I’ll forget about soof and Hilltop and all the rest of it, you want me to forget, but I won’t. If I do, I’ll end up like Mama, full of missing pieces.” Heidi’s drastic plans show how eager she is to find out why her mom keeps saying the word soof, and [] (saying also after and is redundant) what the photograph has to do with the word. [Throughout the entire story, Heidi exhibited eargerness.](Restate without repeating)
Heidi is brave. When she finds old photographs of her mom at a Christmas party, she is brave enough to go on a cross-country journey by herself from Nevada to Liberty, New York on a bus. This shows that the character is brave because she has the courage to do something that [most people her age couldn't do.] (It’s not completely impossible for a 12 year old to make it cross country.) Heidi had never been to New York and never traveled alone. Heidi said to herself that she would have to go to New York no matter what. This demonstrates that nothing could stop her in search of her past [and] her mother’s. [Heidi showed bravery by going after her goal against all odds.] (You can’t begin a sentence with “and so,” and you shouldn’t make all of your concluding paragraphs the same.
The character Heidi [shows her intelligence] in unique ways. Even though she’s only twelve years old, she is determined to get to Liberty, New York to ask Mr. Hilltop about her mother’s past. She demonstrates this characteristic when she wants money for a bus ticket and she uses her talent [to win the] money from a slot machine. [She exhibits intelligence again] when she wins the money and has to count 313 dollar’s worth of quarters. A thought from Heidi reveals this trait clearly: “It was early in the morning and nobody was around to pay attention, so I squat down next to the machine and counted out my winnings. Twelve hundred fifty-six quarters. One dollar more than I needed.” This demonstrates that even if Heidi didn’t have a lot of time to study she [had adequate math skills.] [Heidi's intelligence shows in her resourcefulness in making her way to Hilltop on her own.]
[Heidi shows eagerness, bravery, and intelligence throughout the whole book. Her traits make her an exciting protaganist.] (It’s better to use nouns there. – Throughout is one word, not two. – Those traits have nothing to do with her being hard-working so that doesn’t really work there. If you don’t know what protaganist means, it’s basically just the good guy of the story. Your teacher will appreciate the word.) Heidi expresses emotion in [everything] (one word) she says and [in doing so adds emotiong to the story.] [] (You should cut out the last sentence completely. It refers to the whole book, not the character you’re dealing with. It belongs in a book report.)

I hope I helped! This took longer than I thought!

Paul asks…

Is this a good quote to live by?

“What would you do if you knew you could not fail?”

Every time I hear or see this quote it scares me. I think it is because it forces me to analyze fear a little harder. Now obviously everyone’s life would be dramatically different if they were to follow by this philosophy, and I feel mine would be quite uncanny as well. But the question that really causes me stress is if I am living my life as I should be at all. There is obviously no ONE way to live life and it is starting to seem like I am allowing other people to have an enormous amount of control over my life. This ONE way that my life is heading is the cause of school, parents, community, friends, and all the other social forces. Work and go to school, study, get your degree, choose your profession, work 40 years, retire on little money and then reap your rewards when you die. Wait? That doesn’t make sense.

To make this question a little more answerable, let me give some examples of how I would live my life if it were according to the before mentioned quote. If I knew I could NOT fail I would… Create some sort of business or social entrepreneurship group. Move out of my father’s house. Redefine my social persona to my own liking. Date the women I want without society telling me who is beautiful, whom I should date, and at what frequency. Upon graduation of my four year degree leave the USA with whatever money I have and become a vagabond. Say f*ck you to every person who has tried telling me what I SHOULDN’T do. Love my family but not be afraid to live my own lifestyle on my own. Then figure the rest of it out on the road.

This sounds like a fairy tale to me. All arrows point the same direction I have been going of depression and anxiety. I don’t want any of it, but I don’t have the spine to redefine my reality. It seems easy just to say “GO FOR IT” but how the hell do I do that??? I feel like I’m being swallowed by the universe.

admin answers:

I think it’s good in the sence that it can make you realyse what you truely want. But i think that in a wya it advocates no fear for risk. If you folow that quote strictly, i think that you would be more likely to end up being dissapointed. But i think it can be helpfull in a sence that it can give you confidence to go for what you truely want.

Fear is a healthy emotion for a human to have, if you didn’t you would end up doing things that had so much risk you would end up dead. OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN FAIL, SO YOU WILL NEED TO FACTOR THIS INTO WHAT YOU DECIDE TO DO. Even if it is healful for giving you confidence to go for it.

Sandy asks…

Anyone else hate their current lifestyle?

…because I absolutely hate mine.

I’m a 17 year old guy. People would usually consider me as unattractive: short, disproportionate facial features, hairy, acne, etc. I don’t have a girlfriend (obviously). I do my best in taking care of myself–good hygiene, working out, dressing nicely(not too flashy), acne products, and so forth. I clearly have very low self-esteem, which I have tried so hard to work on, but I’m starting to feel like giving up on it.

Currently a junior in a difficult high school, so I have so much to worry about. I messed up my freshman year, so now I’m struggling to get my ideal grades in order to get into a B or B+ college (high standards due to my brothers’ grades and dad’s expectations). I’m also playing a sport that I hate because it takes up so much of my time and energy; I’m not even good at it. I’m only still in it because it’s an extra-curricular activity. My main motivation in getting into a good college is to get into medical school, study for another 3000 years, become successful, and hopefully find the “love” of my life (emphasis on the quotes).

I feel like a zombie, sheep, robot. Whatever it is, I don’t feel free. I don’t see my life getting better. I don’t see hope. It’s late right now, and I have a paper to write, a couple of tests to study for, and a lab due tomorrow. Tonight is going to be yet ANOTHER sleepless night.

I’m more than likely depressed, but I’m not stupid enough to kill myself or anything. It’s just holding me back from doing the things I need to do in order to improve my own lifestyle. Basically, I’m living a cruel and terrifying vicious cycle.

I apologize for the long rant about my stupid life. I was wondering if anyone can relate, or if not…what’s it like on the “other side?”

admin answers:

My favorite thing to say to my kids is ,”Do what you have to do so you can do what you want to do.”

It may not be fun right now, but once you get into college, you will meet people with interests similar to yours and it won’t matter so much what you look like. If you let yourself fall into bad hygine? You will probably spend college alone and graduate school/medical school won’t even consider you. Time passes quickly, and one day you will wake up and realize you are done with school, and when that is over with you will be a successful professional with a decent income, and will have all the freedom you want.

Your Questions About Mushy Poop In Toddlers

Donald asks…

2 year old dark green poop for 2 weeks?

So my toddler has had dark green poop for 2 weeks. It is not really diarrhea. It’s pretty normal consistence I think. But we asked the doctor and he said not to worry but that was a week ago. I am still concerned. She poops probably once a day. Also one of the poops was not green about a week ago at night it was grey with blueberries skins in it. Very mushy. She usually poops in the morning also so it was very strange. The color is usually a dark green like pine green.

admin answers:

Has she been eating a lot of foods with iron in them or taking supplements? Stools can turn dark green when a lot of iron has been added into the diet (i once had to take supplements and freaked the first time i saw this happen to me). If there is too much iron it can also cause constipation problems and then you will have to even it out with fiber. But since it is still going on (and if it isn’t iron), i would ask the doctor again or get a second opinion.

Sharon asks…

fussy toddler eating problems advice needed?

she has what I guess would consider diarrhea its really mushy and at times can be a few time a day although lately only once a day, I did notice though she tends to just love her milk these days and isn’t interested much in food except snacking of course, so maybe thats why she has mushy poop if she is filling up on liquid, but any tips on how to get a fussy toddler to cooperate and eat, its not even that she doesn’t like food its like she just doesn’t want to even try it sometimes like she is trying to rebel like 2 year olds do at times, well she is 2 next month but still. How do I get her to eat her meals properly its driving me nuts, its like soo much food gets wasted, certain things of course like kraft dinner and canned pasta stuff she likes but even sometiems then she is fussy like today she turned her nose up at pizza but she normally likes it, however, she did fill up on a whole cup of milk right beforehand, she begged for her milk cause i prefer to give it to her afterwards for that reason.

admin answers:

Don’t allow her to snack between meals.

Make sure all of her meals are balanced and nutritious

get her to join in when you are cooking and preparing meals, tell her she’s a good cook!

Eat the food she has helped make infront of her

educate her on why it is important to eat etc

reward her with praise when she finishes a meal

make meals fun, for example if you give her a salad, arrange it on the plate like a funny face.

Good luck to both of you!

Lizzie asks…

What is diarrhea?

Okay, I know this is a stupid question, but please answer nicely. With my toddler, there is lots of kinds of poop.

The watery type- totally soaked in diaper leaving only bits of stuff on surface.

The runny type- will drip out of diaper

The semi runny type- will go up back and front of diaper. Very difficult to clean out of folds because it gets everywhere!

The mushy type- will only go up back of diaper

The semi formed type- stays in diaper

Formed- so nice because it can be cleaned with fewer than 3 wet wipes!

So, where is the distinction between normal and diarrhea? Dont tell me different than normal because there is no normal, and even if there was I wouldnt remember….(she has been sick for a while.) I am way too embarrassed to ask the doctor this.

Also, sometimes it is white. Why? I heard that if it is green that just means it is not staying in her gut long and doesnt fully decompose.

Thanks for help!
Dont worry everyone- she is being seen. She has an appointment with a pediatric gastoentenologist next month. I just wanted to start a journal of pooping, playing, sleeping and eating…. try to see if it is food linked.

admin answers:

You should so not be embarrassed to bring this up with your doctor that is what doctor’s do!!!! Probably anything with the word “runny” in it is diarrhea. If your child is sick and is having diarrhea often please take them to the doctor. I am only just starting nursing school and don’t know much, but I do know if my child was having abnormal or inconsistent bowel movements I would make an appointment just to make sure everything is okay and that there is not something more serious going on.

David asks…

question about toddler bms (ya, I know…sorry)?

sorry it’s a little gross…but I haven’t changed a toddler other than my daughter in a while… (my niece has been out of diapers for 3 years, and I honestly don’t remember what it was like)
so anyway…are toddler bms supposed to be like adult ones? (and yes, I mean poop, or whatever you want to call it)
my daughter has really mushy ones all the time. it’s never totally solid. frequently goes out of the diaper.
the reason I’m asking is because I was reading about potty training in what to expect, and they suggested putting your child’s bm from their diaper into the toilet and flushing it down, so they get the idea of where it’s supposed to go. I’m like, get it in there? With what? A stick?
Is she abnormal? Should I talk to her doctor about this? She’s allergic to milk, so she drinks soy milk, not cow’s milk….but we still give her things like reg. butter, chocolate, waffles, cookies, etc. Do you think that’s the problem? She’s not gassy, her bum is rarely red, and she doesn’t have stomach issues. She’s a good weight, and not losing any. So..what do you think? Thanks!
ya..she just had pneumonia and was on antibiotics, so right now it’s bad from all that…so she’s going for a lung check next week..I can always ask her pedi then :)
no no, she has soy milk in a sippy cup with meals, and like, in her cereal, or if I make her pudding..she has soy yogurt, and soy icecream. That sort of stuff
she doesn’t eat that stuff every day! geez. I just meant that she does eat it once in a while, and all that has milk in it, so maybe just that little bit of milk bothers her. we’ve already decided to go no-chocolate, because it just makes her too crazy. trust me, she’s a wonderful eater. you won’t find a kid that likes onions, garlic, spinach and eggs like her.
also, she can’t have yogurt. Or anything “lacto” or “lactos” or “lactic”. She’s allergic…hence the soy. (not intollerant, allergic.)

admin answers:

We have this issue,too!! Our ped. Said it isn’t cause for concern since he doesn’t go any more frequently than would be expected, it isn’t watery, it isn’t causing irritation, he isn’t gassy or fussy, and he is gaining weight well. I suppose it is better than having to deal with constipation, but we go through a lot of baby wipes!

Susan asks…

Your Questions About How To Prevent Obesity Essay

William asks…

rate my creative writing essay? can u help me end it?

“You can never be too rich or too thin” According to Posh Spice anyway. Scan the covers of any glossy fashion magazine and you are sure to be greeted by rail thin, anorexic looking models, accompanied by bold headlines screaming for your attention with captions like: “How To Loose Those Pounds In 24 Hours” or “Liposuck Your Fat Away!” All this to achieve the worldly ideal of being model thin. The high prevalence of obesity and overweight problems in our culture means much more emphasis is placed on losing weight rather than gaining it, so much so it is easy to forget about people on the other end of the scales who have the problem of being too thin.

Being skinny might be an unattainable goal for some, a virtue to yet others, but to me, it is a major drawback. For one, I never am able to find a pair of jeans or any clothing in my size, as most of the designers cater to European sized frames, so an Extra Small size could well translate into a Medium in this country. To add insult to injury, the salesgirls would usually suggest I check out the kids department to find a fit. Ouch! I don’t suppose that is too far off because I once wore my 10 year old sister’s shirt to a function and no one seemed to notice the fact that it was cut for a child. Having said that, most of my clothes, especially my jeans have to be sent to the tailor for a refitting to prevent it from falling to my ankles. It is an unnecessary service that costs time and money, but it’s a heck of a lot better than rummaging through the juniors section.

Still want to be skinny? If you’re a girl, you might want to rethink your bid. Being severely underweight can make it difficult for a woman to conceive. One of the reasons for this is that body fat is essential in the reproductive process. In women with extremely low levels of body fat menstrual cycles can become very irregular and sometimes nonexistent. When the menstrual cycle is thus affected so is ovulation. Body fat also helps in the release of hormones that are necessary for the body to produce the egg. The good news is if infertility is due to being underweight there is a simple and usually effective solution. Gaining weight reverses the negative effects in most cases of infertility caused because the woman who is underweight.

Speaking of which, another drawback to being stick thin is that it creates an illusion of healthiness, when in fact, it could be the total opposite. Naturally thin people do not see the need to exercise as they feel they can’t afford to loose another pound, but lack of physical activity can prove detrimental to their health in later life. Being genetically lucky, the underweight are also unlikely to watch their diet. Although their high metabolism might prevent them from piling on the pounds, this does not exclude them from adhering to healthy eating habits as heart problems are no respecter of kilograms.

admin answers:

This is a good essay with only two minor errors that I saw. I would include a paragraph about anorexia and other such illnesses and then finish by referring back to your opening statement, ending with a quip about your choosing to work on the getting rich side rather than the getting thinner side because you feel that it’s just healthier for you all around.

The errors I saw were:

“How To Loose Those Pounds In 24 Hours”
It should be “How to Lose Those Pounds in 24 Hours”

and

…my jeans have to be sent to the tailor for a refitting to prevent it from falling to my ankles.
Should be: … My jeans have to be sent to the tailor for a refitting to prevent them from falling to my ankles.

Good Luck.

Just try to tie together all of your points without repeating yourself. If you feel up to it even end on a statement that will keep your reader thinking. Also, in your final paragraph “Naturally thin people do not see the need to exercise as they feel they can’t afford to loose another pound,” Loose is as in: my pants are loose. Lose is to have lost something. Little tip: lose loses an O (when compared to loose lol). Your conclusion doesn’t have to be very long, 50-75 words should be quite sufficient; at least it was in my year 12 English class!

—-Changes in Body Weight: Freshman 15

Today, many freshman students don’t know how to handle their eating habit and physical activity in a right way due to the new environment. Why have people always said freshman 15. Is this just a myth or truth? Some research shows that freshman students are lacking of physical exercised and eating three meals at a buffet-style dinning hall caused them weight change. Did students concern about their health from gaining weight? Gaining weight might appear minor for body in a short term, but it can cause serious health problems in a long term. In order to avoid those problems students must eat balance and do amounts of exercise to stay with a healthy lifestyle through all four years of college. The two study reports “The “freshman 5” A Meta- Analysis of Weight Gain in the Freshman Year of College” authors Rachel Vella-Zarb and Frank J. Elgar and the “Change in Body Weight and Fat Mass of Men and Woman in the First Year of College-Study of the “Freshman 15” authors Daniel J. Hoffman, Peggy Policastro, Virginia Quick, and Soo-Kyung Lee , argues that it is important to identify the exact causes behind weight gain changes and know how to devise appropriate prevention strategies to the students. Although both articles have collect good data about what are the factor effect student being overweight, Vella-Zarb did a better job by giving stronger details from a wide-ranging of year study with 3401 students, establishing Hoffman’s articles are weaker with only 67 students in the study.
One of the weight gain problem issue “The “freshman 5” A Meta- Analysis of Weight Gain in the Freshman Year of College,” Rachel A. Vella-Zarb , MA of psychology department, and Frank J. Elgar, PhD of psychology department at Carleton University. Vella-Zarb and Elgar cite their research from twenty-four studies that published in the year between January 1985 and April 2008 to support the conflict of freshman weight gain and the prevention strategies (Vella-Zarb & Elgar 163). The article examined several factors that associated with weight gain: low physical activity levels throughout the year, high junk food consumption, recent dieting, evening snacking, and a combination of dietary restraint and living in residences (Vella-Zarb & Elgar 164).Through the investigation, Vella-Zard and Elgar concluded that greater understanding of freshman weight gain could lead to prevention of this weight gain and thus a decreases in overweight and obesity among young adults (Vella-Zard &Elgar166).In particular, Valla-Zard and Elgar comments, “college health care providers should design weight gain prevention programs for first year students” meaning that programs should require for students to attend and give skills to prevent from weight gain, such as stress and lifestyle habits that can cause the factors of gaining weight instead of telling them started to eat less (Vella-Zard & Elgar 165).College should give a right message for students to balance their intake and exercised, buffet-style is all you can eat, but also mean need to moderate balance energy intake and expenditure in body weight, otherwise many student will end up with gaining weight unless they get greater understanding how to stay with a healthy life.
The other article entitled Change in Body Weight and Fat Mass of Men and Woman in the First Year of College-Study of the “Freshman 15”detail by Daniel J. Hoffman, Peggy Policastro, Virginia Quick, and Soo-Kyung Lee, faculties in the Department of Nutritional Sciences at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey in New Brunswick. They examine weight change from focus on a sample of freshman, who attending the State University of New Jersey. The method they used to determine the weight change is not powerful enough and it is harder to believe those facts only from 64 students .Therefore, the result of the study finding that students didn’t pay much attention in their intake and outtake during a new environment, which cause them weight keep increasing. Hoffman concluded that “students recognize that weight changes seemingly minor and perhaps even harmless changes in eating or exercise behavior may result in large changes in weight over an extended period of time” (Homan43). In particular, Hoffman states, “For those students who experience weight gain over the period we studied, if their energy balance is not controlled, they could placing at risk for obesity and chronic diseases later in life” (Hoffman 45) which mean take controlled of what they eat is important for the solution.
Overall, both journal articles have credible issues about the reasons of weight gain, because the information proves that is coming from valid experiments, which make the reader more believable. Both studies also provides similar claim for their supporting reason to prevent weight gain among students entering college is great and it is impor

Here’s some pointers:
~Always remember to indent for the first sentance of your paragraph.
~In a formal essay never say don’t. Instead say do or does not. Same thing for isn’t, wasn’t, (etc), instead say is not, was not.
~The sentance “Why have people always said freshmen 15.” doesn’t really make to me (the “outside reader”, aka me). I don’t know what that is.You should briefly explain what Freshmen 15 is.
~I’m pretty sure it should be “gaining weight may appear”, instead of “might appear”. Also in order to avoide “these problems” instead of “those problems” sounds better. It also sounds nicer to say “Another article”, instead of “the other article” (obviously don’t put the quotation marks in, I’m just using them to make what I’m saying easier to understand)

In “The Gospel of Food” by Barry Glassner believe that a fast food industry changes our culture with food and health issues. The poor, middle class, and adolescents fall in the category of the ethnic restaurant that is cheap. Now a day, people are getting to lazy to take time to at least make a sandwich or to use their manners without grabbing the food with their hands. Society will always change their culture, it does not matter if someone eats a burger with there hands or dine at a place where the food is cheap. Attending daily to a fast food area is a problem people need to learn how to limit there cravings for a hamburger.

Malnutrition has always been a problem in the community. As Bailey Burritt states that bad eating habits occur by “ignorance not poverty”. Anyone has the choice to eat a healthy and a balanced diet. Taking time to cook a meal for the family prevents issues with food crisis. Food poisoning always occurs at a fast food their products are not healthy. These food are kept processed, who knows if the meat is not spoiled. Children spend most of there time at the fast food chains and less in activities. Obesity, heart disease, and high cholesterol happen frequently when consuming fast food daily. Social status is changing because of these restaurants. Foreigners that come to America experience the difference of food and culture. Adolescent from France, prefer “self service aspect, absence of table settings, utensils, and the usual rules of etiquette”. The French tradition is to always eat at the fanciest restaurant with utensils and a posture of high class.

I’m of two minds about Barry Glassner’s claim that the food chain changes our customs with food and health. On one hand, I agree that society is changing their habits with food and our health problem has increased. On the other hand, I’m not sure if we should make a big deal of how people act or eat. When someone enters a fast food area, sits down expecting a waiter/waitress to take their order. That is not going to happen, these areas improves personal skills of doing things on your own. Utensils and the rules of manners do not play a part with a hamburger. Imagine someone using a fork for a hamburger. Would this seem strange or awkward? Of course they would seem awkward and strange. The only time proper manners should occur is at home, school, or a fancy restaurant. Health dilemma, there is no excuse for not feeding your child with healthy food. I understand single mothers have to work double shift to maintain a roof over their child’s head. That is not an excuse for being lazy or taking time to teach your child to prepare something easy and healthy. A mother complicates matters further when she writes, “My husband left us a few years ago and it’s just me and my son now. I work different shifts over at the hospital and don’t have much time to cook.” In other words, this mother believes that it is alright to feed their child every day fast food. This mother is a nurse as a RN they should know that fast food is bad for a child.

Although I agree with Barry Glassner up to a point, I still suggest that the main focus should be on health issues and not how people act when their socializing at these type of places. If mothers would stop to think about their child, not their job, they would realize the risk that may develop into obesity, heart disease, and high cholesterol. Manners at a fast food chain are ridiculous, people choose the way they want to act or eat. Glassner should stop worrying about changes in our behavior and focus more on other important facts.

Well, its not bad. There are a few spelling errors and the paper doesnt flow too well, but id say its like a B but possibly a C. Id maybe work on better diction and varying sentence length and structure.
