Obesity Research Report Thesis
Name: Joshua Quibol
Research Question: Are we taking it too far by blaming fast food restaurants for obesity? When is it individual responsibility and when is it appropriate to place blame?
Working thesis statement: Even though fast food is one of the leading causes in obesity due to the high calorie food, however it is an individuals decision on what foods they allow themselves to eat.
Why I selected this topic: I selected this topic because I feel like that fast food restaraunts are taking too much of the blame as to why Obesity in America has been on the rise. I chose this topic because for someone like me who is going into the health and fitness industry I want to open the minds of people around the world of my thoughts on the matter.
Audience Analysis: The general public in order to open the closed minds of many.
