This article states that health is on the fore-front of American’s minds. It uses statistics to say that some Americans surveyed describe themselves as healthy, yet over half of those are overweight. The article states that common issue with unhealthy Americans is time, as they find little time to prepare healthy meals. However, Americans are eating healthier through fruits and vegetables, drinking water, cutting back on sugar, and eating smaller portions. Another trend consumers’ want is being told what to eat, rather than what to avoid eating.

This source is very fact focused, and uses many statistical references throughout the paper to back up its statements. It essentially focuses on the health trends in America as a whole, as in their diet. This Article comes from The Food Institute, and look like a rather unbiased source.

This article is great because it is very fact based, and has plenty of useful statistical data to back up its points. These statistics would be great to include in my final paper.

The source states that the highest surge in health importance comes from the demographics of people age 18-34. The article also reiterates some noticeable health trends from my previous sources, such as Americans tending to drink no-calorie drinks.

The article provides two different charts of data to ensure a visual basis for its claims. Like my previous article, it also includes many statistics throughout the article. There is also a question and response at the end, with a question, and an answer with statistics for each category. The article is relevant, being written in June 2014, and is from the Business Collection.

This article provides factual evidence for my paper. The question and reponsonse at the end, and the visuals are especially

Our second-largest group is adults ages 25-34, which accounts for 26.6% (vertical) of Clif Bar consumers also resulting in a high index of 153. We can infer from this data that current consumers are predominately young to middle aged adults, ages 25-44; the indexes show that a correlation between these age groups and Clif Bar consumption exists.

The increase of processed foods, like meat, greatly impacted American society in the late twentieth century. In the twenty first century, over reliance on processed foods as a cheap and quick substitution, immensely increased the demand for processed foods. In result, the population of obese tripled over the past decades, and continues to rise as the demand of processed foods increases. This new population of obese, and those involved in this epidemic, constantly put the blame on the industries and companies, who merely supply what society demands. Processed and fast food industries have virtually no responsibility in the epidemic of obesity in America.
