For my composition class, I have to write a 15 page persuasive paper. I know I want to write about child obesity, but can't find any controversial issues with it. Any ideas? remember I have to write 15 page paper so there has to be lots of info in the issue.

Write about how elementary school cafeterias don't give enough healthy options, setting the example for kids that eating junk food and pizza everyday is okay. It's not like they have a choice to eat anything else, you know? I remember seeing a little news clip on Dateline or something about that.I know in my high school, they didn't have any healthy options. It was pizza or hot dogs or chicken nuggets every day.

When my son was in elementary school, there was a boy who was very overweight, and he would but TWO lunches and TWO breakfasts.The issue is, is it his right to purchase 2 meals?Our schools have a healthy lunch program, no fried foods, no sweets.( fresh fruit is served for dessert, no cake, cookies, etc)So, you could consider the role of the school in childhood obesity on issues such as lunches, PE. etc.

You can include like Is it the fast food industry's advertising ploy that is the root of child obesity? or parent's fault? or children spending much time in front of TV?
