Rhee, Kyung. “Childhood Overweight and the Relationship between Parent Behaviors, Parenting Style, and Family Functioning”. The American Academy of Political and Social Science, Volume 12 (2008). Print.
This article discusses the relationship between parent behaviors, parenting style, and how a family functions with respect to the development of a childhood overweight. Parents can influence a child's weight through specific feeding and activity practices and also through their parenting style and family functions. Understanding the impact of specific parent behaviors within the context of parenting style and family functioning is very important for children’s health. This article is helpful to me because it shows the relationships between the parental behaviors, and practices and how they influence the child.

Murphy, Maureen.“Parental Perceptions of the Schools' Role in Addressing Childhood Obesity”. Journal of School Nursing Allen Press Publishing Services. (2007):40-46. Print.

This article is about the schools that struggle with their role in the children obesity epidemic. In this article there is a survey taken of school-aged children’s parents about their perceptions of childhood obesity, body mass index and the school’s role in prevention and treatment of obesity. More than half of the parents identified poor eating behavior and parental control. Parents also support eliminating junk food vending machines in the school, and offering low calorie meals. This article can be important to my research because it deals with the parents’ perceptions of their children, and how they can change the face of foods served in schools.

Luce- Demory, Debby. “Fast Food and Children and Adolescents: Implications for Practitioners”. Clinical Pediatrics Volume 44. (2005): 279. Print.
This article talks about how the consumption of fast food affects children and adolescents. The nutritional content of fast food is very poor and unhealthy. This article also talks about healthier choices that fast food companies have to offer children and alternatives to typical “junk food” of hamburger and fries. This article is very important to my research by pointing out the effects that fast food has on children and how it positively correlates to childhood obesity.


Jalonick, Mary Clare. “Childhood Obesity Still Rising andParents don’t see it.” The Seattle Times 29 June 2010. Web 10 October 2010.
This article is about an obesity report shows that an increasing awareness of obesity and its threat to public health. It talks about how it has not become apparent to adults with children that they are threatened. Nearly 84 percent of parents believe their children are at a healthy weight. This report talks about the rise of adult obesity and how it translates to their children. This article will be helpful to me because it does talk about the lack of parental awareness in children, and how this can lead to obesity.

Carter, J. "About 15 Percent Of Major College Athletes May Have Symptoms Of Eating Disorders, Study Suggests." OSU Research News Index Page. 22 Aug. 2002. Web. 26 Oct. 2010. .

In this article it argues that eating disorders are no more prevalent in female college athletes than college females that are not athletes. It provides a study that was done to prove this fact. This helps my research because I gives me a counter argument to the argument I make in my paper that college female athletes are more likely to develop eating disorders than non-athletes.

Smiley, Nikkie. "Eating Disorders Among Female College Athletes." The Sport Journal 13.4 (2008). Print.

In this article the argument that female athletes are more likely to develop eating disorders than non-athletes is made. And they provide a study that was done to back up their argument. This article was beneficial to my research because it gave me another angle to add to my paper that I really think will help strengthen it.

Garner, David M. "Cambridge Journals Online - CUP Full-Text Page." Cambridge Journals. Web. 02 Nov. 2010. .
In this source, Garner describes the research findings from self-reports from 40 anorexic patients. The participants described their symptoms from anorexia. This source won’t be very helpful in my later research because I am not focusing on the symptoms of anorexia but the causes of it. I will probably use this source for background information if I use it in my papers.

Maloney, Katie. "Anorexic Teens Get Boost From Family-Based Therapy - Newsweek." Newsweek - National News, World News, Business, Health, Technology, Entertainment, and More - Newsweek. Web. 21 Oct. 2010. .
In this article, Maloney argues that recent research suggests that family-based therapy provides anorexic patients with a better long-term prognosis for recovery rather than individual treatment. These studies have shown that “including the family…leads to a faster, more complete, recovery…” This will be helpful with my research because from the books I have used so far, many claim that familial issues are one of the causes of a patient developing anorexia. Although it is not the main cause, it is still a major factor in the onset of anorexia.

Minuchin, Salvador. "AGRIS Repository Search Result." Search AGRIS - from 1975 to Date | AGRIS :: International Information System for the Agricultural Sciences and Technology. Web. 02 Nov. 2010. .
This source discussed the family influence on patients with anorexia nervosa and how they affect the onset of the disorder. This source will be helpful to me because many of the sources I have used have talked about the affects of family atmospheres and how developing anorexia is a type of rebellion against the family and also an attempt at controlling an aspect of their life.

Tozzi, Federica. "Causes and Recovery in Anorexia Nervosa: The Patient's Perspective - Tozzi - 2003 - International Journal of Eating Disorders." Wiley Online Library. 25 Feb. 2003. Web. 02 Nov. 2010. .
This source is about anorexic patients and their stories about their struggles with anorexia. They discuss what caused the onset and what made them seek out treatment and what helped them to recover. The source discusses the method and results from the specific treatment and then describes what they have found: that individuals with anorexia are affected by external and internal problems that cause the disorder. This source is helpful to my research because I am researching the causes of anorexia and this helps prove that there is not one individual factor in developing anorexia.

CFP for Class Conference

Alimentary Education: Call for Papers for the English 201 Symposium on Food and Research
English 201, Section 06
Final Two Weeks of Class


In his essay “Toward a Psychosociology of Contemporary Food Consumption,” Roland Barthes says that “we do not see our own food, or, worse, we assume that it is insignificant” (28). More than just “obvious” or necessary, something we must think about in purely material ways, Barthes contends that food is an apt subject of investigation for a range of disciplines because it “transmits a situation; it constitutes an information; it signifies” (29). Papers in this conference will realize Barthes’ assertion and show the various ways that food signifies across a range of disciplines. These papers will examine food in its multiplicity of meanings, whether as a form of agricultural commodity, the object of environmental concern, the subject of education and preparation, and many other fit topics. This conference will happen over four days. One panel will deliver its papers each day, and each panel will consist of four to five participants. Participants and their papers will be organized into panels by the conference director but will subsequently work together, amongst themselves, to plan the order and mode of delivery.


Please send proposals of approximately 300 to 600 words and a very brief bio to James Trout via email. Deadline for proposals is Monday, November 15th, 2010. Your proposal should include the context for your research, the subject of your study, and your argument. Using this proposal, it should be evident what texts you’re in conversation with, who will care about your study, and why your study is important in general.

In this article, the authors investigated whether food aid sent to Africa had an influence in recent rise in enrollment of girls in schools. The results that both of these authors found was that food aid did in fact play a role in increasing enrollment for girls in regards to education. The reason for this rise, according to the authors, was due in part to non-discriminatory practices that are practices within these schools. As a whole, when there is a scarcity of food, the girls are the ones who are likely to not have any food since most of it is given to the males. The schools , on the other hand, did not discriminate and both sexes were treated to an equal amount of food.

Lieberman, Sarah and Tim Gray. "GMOs And The Developing World: A Precautionary Interpretation Of Biotechnology". British Journal Of Politics And International Relations. 10.3 (2008): 398-411. Web. 26 October 2010.

In this article, the authors warn about the dangers of GM foods and that the unknown consequences that these foods might have could undue all the hard work that we are doing right now in Africa. The authors argue that the food that should be given to these African nations should meet the same standard as health organizations such as the FDA within the United States. Failure to do so could lead to drastic consequences in the future.

In this article, the author focuses on how food aid impacts the elderly within a community. In this study, Oldewage-Theron found that the health of the elderly were influence greatly by food aid than other groups except for children, who were influenced more by food aid. The reason for this included the essential nutrients that were found within these food, the decrease in deaths from starving related illnesses and an increase in the number of meals that the elderly ate.

Tagle, Michael. "Operational Conflicts Of Food Aid At The Recipient Level". Food Technology In Australia. 33.8 (1981): 368-371. Web. 30 October 2010.

In this article, Michael Tagle discovers that numerous nations during the 1970's did not regulate where the food aid was going once the goods entered the country. Tagle found out that the intended population did not receive the food and that numerous governments, in which aid was given, prevented the intended population from receiving it. One of the countries that learned of this, Australia, found that this practice was happening in African (Egypt, Liberia, Niger, Mali, Senegal) and in Asian countries (Indonesia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka). Since the Australian government found out about this, it demanded that all food entering foreign countries be regulated.

I found this article very useful to my research; I am now more focused on obesity caused by unhealthy food at school and this article provides a background of the National School Lunch Program. In addition, the effects of the program on people’s health are discussed based on an experiment. The results suggest that NSLP promote children to attend school but displace food consumption from other sources. Hinrichs uses tables, charts, and specific facts to provide his experimental paper with immense credibility.

Counihan, Carole M. "Female Identity, Food, and Power in Contemporary Florence." Anthropological Quarterly. 61 (1988): 51-62. Print.
In her article Counihan argues that the power women have obtained from providing meals to their family provides them with the ability of whether or not their children are healthy. If a child watches and learns that her mother is eating healthy, she will easily pick up on those habits. This article is relevant to my research as a challenge to my argument (that bad school lunches are to blame for overweight children). Counihan displays her credibility by begin published in the Journal Anthropological Quarterly.

The authors of this article provide a study that test fruit and vegetable consumption and the effects of school lunch and breakfast programs on students from grades one through twelve. The study showed that eighty percent of children do not consume the necessary amount of fruits and vegetables. This article is relevant to my research by providing insight to the choices children are making at school no matter what healthy options are present. The credibility of this article is present by providing specific data and using the scientific method to conduct the experiment.

The authors of this article evaluated the outcome of the Connecticut's Healthy Food Certification program. This program gives incentives to schools to adhere to nutrition policies for any food being sold inside and outside the cafeteria. The results showed that this program worked extremely well. This article is useful to my research by providing ideas to improve upon the poor nutrition within schools. This source is credible in that it uses clear and concise charts and tables for the data collected and provides exceptional explanations of the research and evaluations being conducted.

Each of these books can serve as primary sources for my paper. In each book I looked at the composition of the book, what kinds of things were in each one and how they differed if it all. One great find The Household Guide or Domestic Cyclopedia: because it is one of the earliest cookbooks that has exact measurements in the recipes. Also The New London Cookery was a great comparison to the first book mentioned because even though it was printed with the same 70 years it does not have exact measurements in it. These all serve as excellent example for my paper and will be used as a jumping off point for theorizes I have.

Havelaar, Arie H., Stanley Brul, Aarieke De Jong, Rob De Jonge, Marcel H. Zwietering, and Benno H. Ter Kuile. "Future Challenges to Microbial Food Safety." International Journal of Food Microbiology (2009). Print.

In this article the authors argue that food borne illness still poses a considerable burden despite the efforts of all parties involved in making our food safe. Microbes can enter the food chain at any step and are able to adapt to the environment in order to survive. They are extremely dangerous for this reason. Thus crucial steps must be taken by everyone involved in food production. The Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) and good manufacturing principles must occur.

They work the system in every way so that they can create and protect their selling environment. This book would be a great addition to my work since it has more examples of the food industry and their efforts to maximize profits at the expense of our health.

DeSimone, Jeff. Fraternity Membership and Drinking Behavior . 1st ed. Cambridge : National Bureau of Economic Research, 2007. Print.
This book discusses the impact that alcohol has when you are in a fraternity or a sorority. Furthermore, the issues about how the students started drinking by how they were raised and how the students were influenced by their peers. Finally this book talks about how alcohol is impacting fraternities and the consequences of drinking. This could be a great article to argue about fraternity and sorority drinking amongst college campuses.

Wechsler and Wuethrich discuss the causalties that alcohol is causing because students are binge drinking. Other issues discussed within this book is underage drinking, advertising of alcohol, and the relationship between alcohol and sexual assault. This article does not focus enough of the Greek System at schools so it would not be very benefical to use this article.

Final Bib sources of my choice :))

Mielke, Robert. Personal Interview. 30 October 2010.

This interview was extremely helpful because my source is a local farmer on a four generation wheat and barley farm. Robert believes that sustainability is extremely important but recognizes the importance of profitability. I will be able to use this interview because I can use research gather personally to strengthen my argument. Also, it is beneficial because I was able to ask specified questions revolving around my paper.


Horne, James E, and Maura McDermott. The Next Green Revolution:
Essential Steps to a Healthy, Sustainable Agriculture. New York: Food Products Press, 2001. Print.

This book was designed to inform readers of current agricultural issues around conventional farming. Horne argues that a sustainable agricultural system is dire but the income and profit of farmers must not be sacrificed. This book is beneficial because it parallels my argument and brings up important supporting claims along with challenges.


Jackson, Wes, Wendell Berry, and Bruce Colman. Meeting the Expectations of
the Land: Essays in Sustainable Agriculture and Stewardship. San Francisco: North Point Press, 1984. Print.

This book is slightly different because it makes a point to approach sustainable agriculture from a broad scope. The authors have a multifaceted view and believe a sustainable farming system is possible but all areas affected by agriculture must be satisfied first. This is a very beneficial source because it looks at sustainable agriculture from various angles such as socialists, environmentalists, and industrialists.


Edwards, C A. Sustainable Agricultural Systems. Ankeny, Iowa: Soil and Water
Conservation Society, 1990. Print.

Edwards argues that a sustainable agricultural system is inevitable. A method must evolve that will allow environmental health to flourish while supporting the farmers tending the lands. He dissects current and ideological farming methods to invent a successful agricultural system. This source will assist my argument because the dissection of each farming method emerges accompanied by strengths and weaknesses that form challenges and claims.
