The topic I have settled on is obesity. This topic may seem to be oure laziness to most but I want to find out why this disease plagues so many Americans each year. My audience is American society, one of the few nations warring with obesity. The purpose, to inform and to help. I want to better understand what causes this problem because I believe the first step is solving any problem is to udnerstand it. I also feel many sources will be available for this topic, including TV shows, documentaries, websites, and self-help books. I feel I will be able to gather a large amount of information data. At the moment I have a few genres planned out in my head. For example I want to make a line graph displaying increases in obesity in America versus other countries. I also want to do a diary entry from the perspective of an obese child. I'm considering the possibility of an informative essay or a catalouge.
