My first source is titled, “Preventing Obesity” from CQ Researcher and it was written by Barbara Mantel. The reason why I decided to use this report as one of my source is because of the author, Barbara Mantel. Her name caught my eyes so many times on so many of CQ Researcher report. Barbara Mantel has been writing for CQ Researcher for over 20 years most of her report covers health and access to justice, she is a health writer at NBCNews and Today, she has won many awards and fellowships, and is a member of Society of Professional Journalists and Association of Health Care Journalists.

The article “Addicted to Fat” by Katherine Harmon dealt with the possibility that overeating may actually affect the brain in a similar way as taking drugs does. When a person overeats, dopamine gets released and that is the same chemical that gets released during drug use or sex. To test the theory that overeating can affect the brains reward system an experiment with two groups of rats was conducted. One group had unlimited access to high fat food and the other group only had access to that food one hour a day. The group with unlimited access ate double the amount of the one hour group.

I cannot assume this is a foster home, but I can relate it to some of the homes my mother lived in. I only say it inspired me due to always feeling the need to help under privileged children. The children in this poem is wanting attention from someone and needs food. You can tell by their silence and awkwardness at the dinner table they knew they were not allowed to speak up or ask for anything.
