Snow, Anita. "UN Promotes Health Campaign for Women, Children." Seattle Times 23 Sep. 2010.
The UN pledged over $40 million to help poor mothers and their children because of the high rates of mortality between the two. Ensuring that women have food can allow them to provide a better future for their children. There are many quotes from people arguing why women and children need help, and provide facts about how many deaths there are from this reason. This will be useful for my research because it deals with the lack of food provided for women and how it affects their health and lifestyles, which relates to identity.

Park, Alice. "Lab Report: Health, Science and Medicine - Chocolate for the Heart." Time Magazine 30 Aug. 2010: Web. 10 Oct 2010.
Studies are showing that consuming chocolate can help lower blood sugar and cholesterol, and reduce risks of strokes and heart attacks. 31,000 postmenopausal women completed a study showing that chocolate reduced their risk of heart failure by 32%.This relates to my research because it deals with women consuming food and the effects of the chocolate, good and/or bad.

Fox, Nick. "Mercury in Tuna." New York Times 21 Jan. 2008: Web. 10 Oct 2010.
The amount of mercury found in fish sold in stores, including canned Tuna, exceeds the federal Food and Drug limits. Mercury can cause neurological damage to anyone, but the most vulnerable are fetuses and younger children. The government got involved, and set an amount of tuna that women (especially if pregnant) and children should eat, so it does not affect them, and did a tuna recall for these higher amounts of mercury sold in stores. This will be useful for my research because of the damage it can do to women if too much is consumed and how it can also damage their fetus if pregnant.

Belluck, Pam. "Obesity Rates Hit Plateau in U,S., Data Suggests." New York Times 13 Jan. 2010, New York ed.: A20.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say that obesity has it its peak in the United States. Data shows that the rates of obesity have leveled off over the past five years. This steady level of obesity may be related to the public awareness, especially for women who buy, prepare, and make food for themselves and their children. There is a large number of data and statistics from studies that prove this argument, along with quotes from doctor’s who research into this topic. This source is going to be useful to me because of how women play such a role in either promoting or decreasing obesity by buying and making food for themselves and their families.
