Give statistic on the number obese children in the United States
- Thesis: In the United States the rate of childhood obesity is increasing rapidly due to the unhealthy decisions made by parents who lack time, money, and proper eating habits.
- Reasons why parents are to blame
- Lack of Child-Parent interaction
Leaving children in day care
How obese parents are role models to their children
- lack of money
Lack of money forces families to buy cheap unhealthy foods
- Lack of time
Parents who work enjoy the convenience of fast food because it takes no time to prepare.
Children activities make preparing meals difficult
- lack of education on proper nutrition
Children are not educated on proper eating
Eat until the are "stuffed" not satisfied
Eat what tastes good not what is healthy
- Not being pushed to exercise
Allowing children to be lazy and not play sports
they allow gaming/tv watching to free up their time
- ways to prevent childhood obesity
- Teach them the proper way to eat
- encourage exercise and other activities
- set good examples of eating habits
- prepare healthy meals
- conclusion: If parents illustrated better eating habits and educated their children on proper nutrition, the rate of childhood obesity would decrease. Many American parents today are extremely obese and it contributes to the obesity of their children. Without the proper exercise and eating techniques, children are going to continue to become obese. In order to prevent sickness in the future parents must promote activity and good eating habits to their children.
I really like your topic! This really is such a big problem in America! The only suggestion I have is in under your "reasons why parents are to blame" section you may want to put alternative ways parents who are busy or low on money can still provide healthy and decent food.
ReplyDeleteVery good.Great topic and your outline was good, but under some of the unbold catergories maybe you could have been a little more detailed.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting topic. Your outline would be a little easier to follow if you used Roman Numerals and letters instead of the bullets that you used. Other than that, it looks good!
ReplyDeleteYour thesis subverts your argument. Make your argument the focus of the thesis and be specific about the argument in your paper. In other words, give us the roadmap. For example, parents are the culprit for these five reasons.
