The issue I chose was obesity and the background information that I have is simply from seeing super size me twice at school in different classes and being an athlete I have heard several things regarding weight and working out and where I should be with my fitness. I want to know more about this issue and more of the facts. I have heard that it is becoming a major problem in the United States and while I have a good idea on why that is I would like to know more of the facts and what if we even are doing to try and fix this and prevent it. I chose this issue simply because it seems to be a huge issue now a days. It doesn't affect me personally my whole family is in really good shape and watch what they eat and do. But I am passionate about playing sports and staying active I love tennis and staying fit would be a huge thing to go along with tennis today, so mainly I chose this topic to see the variety of things in today's world and economy that is contributing to us being over weight and what we can do about the to fix it. The more and more that technology grows and we have access to more and more things that the generation didn't know or have before, the more stationary we become. The new technology is largely to blame because more and more kids play games inside rather than going outside and playing. But I want to find out more about this growing concern in the United States.
