Kelley, Ben, and Jason A. Smith. "Legal Approaches to the Obesity Epidemic: An Introduction." 25. (2004): 346-351. Web. 28 Oct 2010.
This source argues that childhood obesity is mainly due to the food provided in schools. Since children and adolescents spend around 6 hours per day, 5 days a week in school, they get a lot of their food from it. Even though there have been advances in higher nutrition, there are still vending machines and school stores that contribute. This is useful to me because it is a counter argument I can use when saying how women are responsible for obesity.

Gable, Sara, and Lutz Susan. "Household, Parent, and Child Contributions to Childhood Obesity." National Council on Family Relations 49.3 (2000): 293-300. Web. 28 Oct 2010.
This article argues that children are at risk for obesity because of their family processes that can put their children at risk. Parents should be educated more on healthy eating so that they can create healthy habits for their kids, and educate them as well. Also, children should not watch as much television. This is useful to my research because it supports my idea that women/households play a role in obesity.

Kitzmann, Katherine M., William T. Dalton III, and Joanna Buscemi. "Beyond Parenting Practices: Family Context and the Treatment of Pediatric Obesity." National Council on Family Relations 57.1 (2008): 13-23. Web. 28 Oct 2010.
This article argues that even though healthier eating habits are used after parents are educated on child obesity, they are not long term changes. The three things that the article focuses on which are reasons why obesity continues, is due to parenting style, family stress, and the family emotional climate. This article is useful to me because it talks about how family and parenting contribute to obesity even after they're educated about it.

Daniels, Stephen R. "The Consequences of Childhood Overweight and Obesity." Princeton University 16.1 (2006): 47-67. Web. 28 Oct 2010.
This article talks about all the consequences of childhood obesity. There are negative health issues that result from obesity, that should be seen in older adults and not children. The future generations life expectancy is lower than average, and change needs to happen. This article is useful to my research because it shows how bad childhood obesity is and why things need to be done in order to stop it and change these habits.
