"Throughout the history of the United States, science has played a large part in the foods and products that the nation's citizens consume. From new foods that are imported and incorporated into the national crop and diet, to older, standby foods that are improved or used in new or different ways, American eating and consumption has long been shaped by technology and scientific advancement. And, as such shifts and innovations have made their way into the country's fields and barns and supermarkets and onto its dinner tables, the American media has also had much to say, for good or for bad, about how science is helping or hurting the consumers that depend on and utilize such developments."

Abstract
In this essay, the writer argues that diet pops are so dangerous for one's health that it would be better if people just ate sugar. The writer maintains that even though sugar is bad for people's health, it is not as bad as the aspartame in diet pops. The writer shows that there is much evidence to support this. As demonstrated in this article, there is also evidence to show that aspartame is not bad for people. However, the writer claims that if this evidence is examined one finds that the evidence may be biased. The writer explains that this is because some research is paid for by the diet pop companies.

Abstract
Childhood obesity needs to be reduced in terms of its impact on the individual and as a consistent health problem within certain populations. The city of Toronto has recently witnessed an overall increase in childhood obesity among its residents. Obesity is recognized as a lifelong problem among affected persons and it is more difficult to overcome obesity than many other preventable health care risks. This paper examines how public planning in obesity education and diet and exercise services has been determined to have a positive impact on outcome in some communities.
From the Paper
"Obesity is a significant health crisis within developed countries; abundance of high-calorie foods and a lifestyle that is low in exercise have created conditions through which it is easy to acquire physical mass and difficult to lose excess weight. There are serious secondary health risks that have been correlated to obesity and the preponderance of weight on individuals. Children seem to be strongly impacted in terms of acquisition of these secondary health risks, as Type II diabetes and cardiovascular problems are increasingly detected among children and adolescents."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In the course of nursing practice, nurses will frequently encounter female clients with eating orders and/or obesity. This is because there are so many people in our society who have these conditions. For example, we frequently hear that Western society has an obesity epidemic. This paper will argue that nurses should focus their practice on counselling women to accept and be happy with their bodies, while attempting to live a healthy lifestyle and take adequate exercise. Nurses should not be part of the system that coerces women to diet, with frequently devastating consequences.

Abstract
This paper reports on a visit to McDonald's to gain nutritional information about the products sold, noting how written information is provided on request but that those working in the store are not able to answer any questions beyond what is written and have only the slightest understanding of the data provided, with even the manager in the dark on most such questions.
From the Paper
"McDonald's is probably the largest fast-food operation in the world, and the company has been much criticized for the nutritional make-up of many of its offerings and has responded at various times with information about nutrition and its food. However, the company does not make this aspect a major part of its operation and leaves it to the consumer to find the information needed to a great extent. The company makes its nutritional information available online and also has a print-out that can be given to the consumer in the store, but based on a recent visit, the store personnel are not that familiar with the data available and cannot answer many questions about the nutritional make-up of the products sold. They can refer to the printed material in the store when asked, but they have not been trained to understand the data or to explain it to the customer."

Abstract
Over 50 percent of Americans are obese and many of these obese Americans can be found at college. One of the reasons that college students are obese is the type of food found at the cafeteria, in the dorms, and in the educational buildings. Pizza, hot meals, cold sandwiches, ice cream, and soda pop all have one thing in common. What? They usually are found at college. Nutrition is a serious problem at American colleges. This paper examines the problem of obesity among American university students and the factors contributing to this problem. The paper suggests that the traditionally unhealthful types of food sold on college campuses are a primary cause of this epidemic of obesity amongst American college students.
