Junior Theme

So i started my junior theme and quite frankly i am pleased. my why question is Why are americans becomming increasingly obese? and my book is called "In Defense of Food" by Michael Pollan, who i hope to have my interview with. during the 1980's food were being taken off the shelves and being replaced by cholesterol, fiber, and saturated fats, and this can lead to different health diseases and obesesity. before "foods" were being replaced the obesity rate in america was much lower then it is today. today people are eating more bad foods and not execising, they are eating by themselves or shoved in front of a television. when people eat they should eat to the point where they are not hungry and not to the point where they are completely full. also just because you eat healthy food doesnt mean you are not going to be obese, people are increasingly eating more and more quantities of healthy foods at each sitting, and in reality this does nothing. the growth of fastfood restaurants causes people to take in almost two-thirds of their daily calorie intake in just one meal. during 1998, 97 million adults (55% of the adult population) were obese. to add to this there were around 300,00 deaths annually due to obesity.
