Essay idea

Today in class we discussed essay ideas on obesity. Their was a several good ones thrown out there, but, in my opinion the one I chose is best. Now our whole life we are taught what our parents know is best. They always know how to fix your scraped knee or your sadness,but parents could be a source to obesity. When I was growing up my dad was a bodybuilder. So he had a strict diet up to 6 meals a day. Around dinner time he would make dinner for everyone,so we ate what he made. It always consisted of healthy foods, I remember eating tuna at least four times a week. Since my dad ate that way it grew on our family. Till this day I have the same eating habit as he did, being healthy is always important to me. With other families it might be different, when you see an obese father usually his whole family is fat. This is because we eat what our parents out on our plate. That could play an important role in obesity in today's society.

THIS IS PHAT!!

Obesity is a disease, and millions are affected. over 300,000 die every year from this disease. In the article below. It describes how obestiy affects teenagers, and how teenagers are more obligated to eat fast food. In my opinion this article has a good point. The food Americans consume on a day to day basis isn't really food, there food like products. Most Americans know its not good for you, but most Americans or in this case teenagers, are always on the go and have to consume food quickly in order to function throughout there busy day. Even myself i know how hard it is to make your food before school and have to heat it up at school and such.  It's hard that's why most kids are becoming obease everyday. These decsions will affect you down the road. During the summer when we have all the time in the world, it is mostly spent on a couch playing Xbox live with your friends. Lets face it though most teenagers won't spend time cooking a meal. They're use to there parents doing it for them. So they will turn to the McDonalds down the street. It's  the consumers freedom to do what they want with there body. You have every right in the world to eat where you want. It's also the consumers responsibility to know what they are consuming. Teenagers mostly don't care about that, it taste good. It doesnt make you feel good, it's just so cheap and delicious that it's hard not to. In my opinion fast food doesn't make you obease. It's the indulgence of it that causes you to become obease. Just like everything else it doesn't happen over night. If you abuse anything there's side affects in this case you abuse how much fast food you consume. Each one of these meals has enough calories and fat for a whole day.

Reflections on week one.

There won't be really any factors that will affect my participation in the class. I work at subway and I get a lot of hours so I'm pretty busy but I work at night so I will have time after school to do homework.

An awesome learning expirence for me was two years ago when I was a sophomore. I was messing up pretty bad ditching class and making the wrong decsions. I fell into the wrong crowd and such and got in big trouble. It really opened my eyes and I realized I had to grow up. And doing that kind of stuff wasn't cool it was making me a loser. From there I focused on school and got my grades up and continued to my junior year.

I'm mostly excited about this blog thing dr. Preston has set up. I'm not really used to it but its pretty cool how he's really into our thoughts and how he's always wanting to help. I'm looking forward to learning new things and being able to learn to talk around a crowd of people. Throughout the years I have only done a few assigments that were oral, but since we talk about it as a class is new and pretty interesting.

5 GO-TO SOURCES FOR GOOD NONFICTION

There are many places to get sources for non-fiction, but in my opinion the first place of all places is the library. Usually they will have sections of books organized by category. Another place is online a website called goodreads.com. They have the top non-fiction books currently out. You can also ask your English teacher, I'm sure he/she will have great recommendations for books. The peers around you can also be a good source. You could also download an app called audible that let's you choose what kind of book you would like and it will narrate the story to you.
