Junior Theme pt 1

Hi y'all AISers, so I haven't posted any updates on my Junior Theme yet. Yikes! Here's a summary of week one (way back when). After spring break, I finally decided on my topic, obesity in America. I've always wanted to learn more about obesity and I think now is a great time! I came up with a why question: Why is America the most obese country in the world? But it has been changed a couple times to: Why are obesity rates moving up so quickly? After getting a bunch of articles and background info on obesity I decided to focus on how Americans over eat and under exercise. I found a couple good books at NT with the help of the librarians, but decided to go with Fatland: How Americans Became the Fattest People in the World by Greg Critser. Now, I'm almost done with the book and it has been very helpful in the research process. Well, that was pretty much the start. Tomorrow I'll post about my interviews and thesis statement(s)!
