Childhood Obesity

I haven’t completely decided how I will develop my project completely. Depending on the style I choose will determine the images most useful to my project. The first image that I like demonstrates the childhood obesity cycleinto adulthood. It illustrates exactly what I explained in my issue analysis. Prevention is the key to reduce childhood obesity. The cycle depicts what will occur if it is not prevented.

The second image I found depicts the current issue in the school gym classes. Overweight children are unable to participate in the activities assigned leaving them with even less exercise. They are left to sit and watch while their fellow classmates tease them. Leading to long-term psychological damages that will follow them into adulthood.

One of the biggest problems is the lack luster nutrition and lack of energy in children who are overweight. This image depicts a child who has “crashed” in front of the television after eating sugary sweets and salty snacks. This image is exactly what we need to change.

One last image I could use for my section discussing inadequate playgrounds in urban communities displays broken seesaws. No wonder children have no place to play. However, until I know exactly what my project will be…I can’t determine for sure what images will visually communicate the best!
