Default What is a good persuasive topic for obesity? - 01-08-2009, 03:32 AM

I have a lot of good references and sources.- half of tax pays for obesity- Medicare declares obesity to be a disease- Cultural norm has made us more unactive- Large proportion of American food is malnutritious- Ethnicity plays a role in obesity- Technological advances = obesity- Biological and environmental factors = obesityThese are some good info I found about obesity. I want to narrow down my topic into a persausive arguement. I'm writing a 10 page essay on this, so please help.This essay is for a persuasive writing class (college). I have all these good info about obesity and I can find more.My problem is that I don't know how to find a good persausive topic for obesity.According to the CDC (Center for Disease Control), half of tax goes to obesity. I found that info on their website.

Obesity was a sign of wealthy and now is a sign of poverty at least in most societies, but not all. There's a contest in Africa for the fattest man and the winner gets his choice of beautiful women as a wife.

Half of tax pays for obesity? Sounds out there to me. Better check that one out. There is NO way that's true. Also, the word is"inactive".Nobody can help you build an argument if you don't tell us what it is you're trying to convince people of. That obesity will harm them? That it's costing taxpayers? That it's none of their business if they don't have a weight problem? That they all ought to protest fat people? What is the point you're trying to get across and what class is this for?Just so you know, if you're a skinny little thing that has never had a weight problem, your little essay won't go over so well if there are overweight people in your class. Is this a required topic?We need more info to know what you're trying to do.

Part one: Cover page.Part two: Three pages covering three different societal causes.1. Fast food, and other dietary influences.2. Modern technology, including modern transportation.3. Depression and other psychological influence factorsPart three: Three pages covering three different societal effects.1. Increase health care costs and increased societal burden2. Devolution of societal core energy and DNA of many3. Decreased immune system function, possibility of spreading of illness(es) to other parts of the population.Part four: Three pages covering three different future scenarios if things don't change, or if you are optimistic, if they do.1. Improved economic perspective or its opposite.2. Improved vitality, energy and overall health, or the opposite.3. Longer life span for those afflicted, and hope for their offspring, loved ones, and associates.Part five: To review, capsulize the points from each section that you see as most important, and bring to a reasonable conclusion.The above ideas are only suggestions. You may want to modify them based on your own knowledge and research.

I think you can go for something like the “obesity- self claimed health condition” actually almost every individual is aware of side effects of obesity and they know very well that their eating habits is the cause of this but still they can’t resist their temptation.
Obesity and treatments- Crossroad- here you can go with the treatment options that are present in hundreds but aren’t effective in any way. Just for promotion and marketing products are launched
