The article “Stop Being Lazy and Eat Right” is persuasive, why? because Martin Forstrom is trying to make the students believe in what he is trying to say. Well, his main point was to get students to learn how to cook food at home rather than spending more money on eating at the fast food restaurants in the student union. The article seems interesting and the author’s argument was on point. He provided some evidence and examples to support his point.…

This nation is facing a health epidemic that wasn't around a decade ago. The amount of money this country spends on hospital bills alone should be able to pay off the entirety of the national debt.

America can be called the melting pot but can also be called the most obese country on the planet. In recent years there has been a rise in obesity, especially in youth. The reason might be because children don’t do much physical activity, like playing outside. Children also eat more fast-food due to the fact that most parents work and don’t have time to make healthy meals at home. From health conditions to plenty of temptations out there, it is difficult for a person to stay thin and meet the expectations of society.…

Podcast Hi, I’m Lachlan and today i’ll be reviewing Don’t Starve a popular survival game where pretty much everything in it tries to kill you in some way or another, whether it’s from a swarm of bees, rotten food, starvation, wild packs of hell hounds, frogs or the dark creatures that haunt you at night. You are spawned into the dangerous realm by some strange old gentleman, you start off as Wilson the scientist in a randomly generated demonic world. When it comes to figuring out how to stay alive, there's little room for mistakes here. The lack of any tutorial means that every resource, creature, and curiosity you encounter poses the same question; can I use this to my advantage or will messing with it somehow result in death?…
Obesity in America is a big issue in society today because more than 60 percent of the population is overweight. People eat for many reasons, one being a source of comfort. When they the thing to someone eats for comfort reasons; they don’t understand when they should stop. They eat lots of food to fill an empty void that is somewhere deep inside them.

cardiovascular exercise, fat is melted away, so to speak! So, as regards weight loss, plan on squats, push-ups, sit-ups, and strengthening exercises. For weight loss, as far as dieting goes, I have found the South Beach Diet to be quite effective for me. Weight loss requires mostly a “low carb” diet, where your focus is to eat certain kinds of “carbs” conducive to weight loss, versus others. It is also a very healthy way of eating that promotes weight loss, and as you can pretty much eat as much as you want, anytime, it is not a difficult weight loss diet to maintain in the long run.…
Obesity refers to a state in which an individual has accumulated excess fats in his or her body tissues to the extent that it might impose adverse health effects to him or her. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention use the body mass index (BMI) to determine a snapshot view of obesity in America. The BMI uses a sliding scale of height and weight to estimate whether an individual may be obese or not. This method isn’t completely accurate because it does not adequately assess individual body fat percentages but it is the most expedient and cost effective means of determining potential obesity.…
