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.

Rodriguez, Carlos & Wiegand, Kerstin. “Evaluating the Trade-Off Between Machinery Efficiency and Loss of Biodiversity-Friendly Habitats.” Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment. No.4 (2009): p. 361-366. Web. 25 Oct. 2010.
This was a really helpful article because it went into detail about how increasing agriculture intensification has led to dramatic losses in farmland biodiversity. Because of current public demands it is important to look at the trade-off between agriculture production and biodiversity conservation that are related to agricultural practices. The authors discusses what they feel is one of the most important structural changes, field enlargement, and its role in machinery efficiency and erosion. These are important aspects of the whole of agriculture production and they give us a unique comparison of a vital unit, farmland biodiversity.
“A geographic approach to place and natural resource use in local food systems.” Renewable Agriculture and Food Systems. V. 25 (2010): p. 99-108. Web. 25 Oct. 2010.
This journal article shows the importance of the ecological aspects of farming and food, one of those being whether our food is grown locally or not. The article also describes methods for assessing natural resource use in local food, including food miles, consumer transportation, scale and community, agricultural methods and diet. Lastly, the future concerning environmental impact of local food and how the geography of food works to assess where the food production occurs is addressed. This article shows what impact whether or not the consumer desires local produced foods has on the food production system, and would be a helpful resource be cause my topic in on consumers impact.
“Dry Food Transport.” Encyclopedia of Agricultural, Food, and Biological Engineering. Web. 25 Oct. 2010.
This source discussed in detail the different types of machinery and devices that have been developed and are used to transport our food. They showed how for transporting powder or ground products companies may use screw conveyors, for dry foods a chain, belt, rollers, or may use a pneumatic device, and for liquids pumps are used. It talked about how the development of transporting food dates back to the 1930’s, and since then we have improved greatly on our methods of transportation, which has led to a more efficient food system. This was a great source because it gave me an inside look at the transportation part of the production system and thus gave me a better understanding of it all.
"Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)." Encyclopedia Britannica. 2010. Encyclopedia Britannica Online. 25 Oct 2010.
The Food and Agriculture Organization is the oldest permanent specialized agency that works to eliminate hunger and improve nutrition and standards of living by increasing agriculture productivity. The FAO has concentrated on things like in the 1960’s when they promoted the increase of agriculture exports, in 1974 they promoted programs that help small farmers implement low-cost projects to enhance productivity, and in the 1990’s the FAO made sustainable agriculture programs. Reading this reminded me of the different organizations that play a role in agriculture production; whether they regulate or in this case promote agricultural practices they are extremely important because of their amount of control.

Nestle, Marion. Food Politics: How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition and Health. Berkeley: University of California, 2007. Print.
In this book, Nestle argues that big industries are powerful, intrusive, influential, and invasive. Because of this we must be constantly alert to prevent them from influencing not only our own personal nutritional choices, but those of our government agencies as well. Main topics focused on in this book are undermining dietary advice, working the political systems, exploiting kids and the corruption of schools, deregulating dietary supplements, and the invention of techno-foods. This book will be very useful because it brings new information about the food systems of America to my attention.
Cardello, Hank, and Doug Garr. Stuffed: an Insider's Look at Who's (really) Making America Fat. New York: Ecco, 2009. Print.
In this book, Cardello uses his battle with leukemia and his realization of how his health crisis is related to his nutritional choices from working with popular American food corporations. This book is an outgrowth of his professional experiences and personal commitment to ensure that all of America remains healthier longer. The information that this book provides will be helpful because it gives a personal insight to the workings of corporate food companies.
Wansink, Brian. Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More than We Think. New York: Bantam, 2007. Print.
In this book, Wansink exposes the hidden psychology of eating. He shows how many cues such as: container size, placement, and numbers on labels, are all that it takes to get a typical American to eat more than they need or should. He then provides the smarts to reach for less. This book will be useful to my research because it provides another reason for America’s obesity problem.
Irwin, Tanya. "McDonald's Takes Olympics Sponsorship Worldwide." MediaPost NEWS. Media Post Communications, 11 Jan. 2010. Web. 26 Oct. 2010..
In this article Irwin shows how McDonalds gets involved in the 2010 Olympic games. Customers saw winter athletes on McDonald's packaging at 15,000 restaurants across the U.S. Beginning Feb. 1, cups and bags featured Celski, Halsted, Deneen, Graham Watanabe (men's snowboard), Jennifer Rodriguez (women's speedskating), Dustin Byfuglien (men's hockey), Kelly Clark (women's snowboard) and Angela Ruggiero (women's ice hockey). In Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Norway aired TV spots focused on a Chicken McNugget promotion under a "Share the Gold" theme. In Russia, the Big Mac sandwich was featured in print and TV ads. The new commercial celebrated athletes coming together at a McDonald's restaurant following Olympic Games events. At all 1,400 restaurants across Canada, including the 30-plus McDonald's restaurants in the Vancouver and Whistler areas, customers could try limited-time menu offerings such as the S'mores Pie and the Creme Brulee Crunch McFlurry. Happy Meals featured interactive toys of the 2010 Winter Games mascots. This aricle will be helpful to prove how fast food restaurants, such as McDonalds, associated itself with events that are related to top physical fitness and wellbeing while promoting foods that are unhealthy.

In this encyclopedia source, Robert Emery describes the difference between anorexia and bulimia but focuses on anorexia throughout the rest of the article. He explains what happens after a patient is diagnosed with anorexia and what are the most common ways to cure the disorder and which are shown to be the most effective methods. I probably will only use this source for information and not really for my research background because I am going to mainly focus on the causes of anorexia.

This encyclopedic source briefly defines anorexia nervosa and describes the consequences of the disorder. Common symptoms are provided and the article states that anorexia may be brought on from pain or shock. Although the information in this source is extremely vague, it coincides with my previous research that there is a “triggering” effect that somehow causes the onset of anorexia nervosa.
Waller, Glenn. "View Record." CSA. Web. 26 Oct. 2010..
The abstract for this source describes it as the recorded data about sexual or child abuse in bulimic and anorexic patients. It concludes that bulimic patients were more likely to have experienced some sort of abuse in their past than anorectics were. I found this source through the “Psychology” tab on the library website. This information will be helpful with my research because it shows that for most anorexic patients, abuse is not the “triggering” factor for their disorder.

This source talks about the most common causes of eating disorder that have been researched for the past 7 years. It talks about how obesity, anorexia nervosa, bulimia and binge-eating are all eating disorders. I found this source under the “Food Sciences” tab of the library’s website. This source won’t be as helpful to me as I had originally hoped because as I look more closely at it, it discusses obesity as an eating disorder more than it talks about anorexia nervosa.

In this encyclopedia I searched for bulimia nervosa. When my search results came up both bulimia nervosa and anorexia were explained. This encyclopedia described bulimia as an eating disorder characterized by binge eating followed y inappropriate attempts to compensate for the binge. These are things such as fasting, excessive use of laxatives and enemas, self-induced vomiting, or excessive exercise. This is very helpful to me because before I thought that bulimia nervosa was strictly binge eating followed by purging, because that is how it was explained to me in school and everywhere else. I think that this point could be useful in my argument.

In this portion of the encyclopedia, the authors state that one of the undermining problems within Africa is the malnourishment of children. Africa has been impacted by famine and the population that has felt it the most are the children. Likewise, the numerous wars that have been integrated within Africa has also had a devastating effect on the children. One of the most common illness that these children are suffering from is kwashiorkor, a lack of protein within the system.

This article was article found by using the Food Science section called Food Science and Technology Abstracts. I found this article by typing in the word food aid AND Africa AND nutrition.
In this article, Isbatou Boukari and his colleagues found that numerous people within the Western part of various African countries are not getting enough calcium. In fact, the daily intake of calcium within the part of Africa is about 300-500 mg a day, which is small in comparison to the the Europeans and the Americans. Boukari and his colleagues found this to be disturbing because this is one of the industrious regions within Africa and the fact that food high in calcium, such as milk, are relatively unavailable is a cause for concern. If the industrious region of Africa cannot provide the necessary nutrients for its denizen, how can developing countries deliver food to their citizens.
Middleton, John and John C. Miller. "Food Supplies And Nutrition". New Encyclopedia Of Africa. 2nd edition. 2008.
In this section of the encyclopedia, the authors state that the majority of governments within Africa have failed in their duty to provide food for their people. The authors state that military dictatorship and recent famines have caused this recent upscale in famine. The authors also state that the heaviest burden is on the children who are susceptible to protein-energy malnutrition, also known as kwashiorkor. An estimated 200 million people within Africa are malnourished and this will have severe consequences for current and future generations regarding cognitive and physical challenges.

Before the current economic crisis, some countries within Africa were showing signs of economic progress and many scholars were hopeful that Africa would begin to have more countries involved in the current globalization process. However, in 2007, the world was in financial collapse and the world was hit hard. However, the hardest hit was the African countries would depended on relief from the world's superpowers. As the crisis went on, events took a turn for the worst as food was rationed inadequately and the high price of common food led to riots in the street. Suresh also states that has heavily impacted the children within these African which, according to Suresh, was showing signs that child nutrition was improving. Suresh believes that if a sound plan is not implemented soon, conditions within Africa could take a turn for the worse.

An estimated 200 million people within Africa are malnourished and this will have severe consequences for current and future generations regarding cognitive and physical challenges.

This article was article found by using the Food Science section called Food Science and Technology Abstracts. I found this article by typing in the word food aid AND Africa AND nutrition.
Before the current economic crisis, some countries within Africa were showing signs of economic progress and many scholars were hopeful that Africa would begin to have more countries involved in the current globalization process. However, in 2007, the world was in financial collapse and the world was hit hard. However, the hardest hit was the African countries would depended on relief from the world's superpowers. As the crisis went on, events took a turn for the worst as food was rationed inadequately and the high price of common food led to riots in the street. Suresh also states that has heavily impacted the children within these African which, according to Suresh, was showing signs that child nutrition was improving. Suresh believes that if a sound plan is not implemented soon, conditions within Africa could take a turn for the worse.

"Altering American Consciousness: The History of Alcohol and Drug Use in the United States" is about the changing nature of drugs and alcohol from the years of 1800 to 2000. The authors discuss how drugs and alcohol had changed throughout the years and all of the controversies that went along with it. This book could be a useful source for my research on the effects of alcohol on college students, because I might be able to find how alcohol evolved from the 19th century until now.

They encourage talking to a doctor, being supportive, not using food as a punishment or a reward, teaching healthy eating habits, etc. This article is very useful for my current research because it not only gives a brief history, causes, and prevention steps to childhood obesity, it also has a clear medical focus on the aspects of childhood obesity which is needed for formulating a good argument.

This article was found by searching in the E-Journals Sociological data base in Sociological Abstracts. The search parameters that were used where (cookbook* OR cookery book* AND history). The article gives both a historical and sociological look at cookbooks in America. Cookbooks were predominantly written for woman because their life became part of the maintaining the private life, the homemaking. The first cookery book to be printed in America was acutely a variation of a book previously published in England by Mrs. Smith. The book was changed slightly for the American audience by eliminating receipts cooks could not get ingredients for, and make it smaller therefore more affordable to Americans. The source is okay it does give some interesting thought to social network and how cookbooks and evolved, though it is limited in that is it an example of American life and values. Also I a lot of the general information I already knew.

This is extremely useful in that it supports my ideas I have all right formulated about the topic

The earliest in the west was during the Roman empire in the 1st century AD, though the author and book are unknown the oldest English surviving book in The Forme of Cury written in the late 14th century. This is good information as a background; I am starting my research observations and comparisons about the time form the 13th century to avoid gapes time and look and cookbooks as they are more consistent in society.

This article gives a brief overview of the Industrial Revolution, it began in Britain in the 18th century and moved to other country such as France, Germany and America in the 1870’s. It was a time when nations changed socially and economically from agriculture sociality to industrial. This changed brought about the social statue of the working class. This is very useful background because I was unsure exactly when the Industrial revolution was. Also knowing this was the time when the working class appeared is very interesting relating it to my topic.

In this article Gardyn argues how the Olympics are run by media and big company sponsorships. This article gives great background information on the broadcasting and company sponsorships at the 2000 Olympics. Long-time super sponsors such as Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, and Eastman Kodak had gobbled about 80 percent of NBC’s commercial Olympic inventory up. Local cable operators also reported that spots on MSNBC and CNBC, which will broadcast long-format coverage, were at or near sellout in several markets (Gardyn). The Olympics is hands down the most popular sporting event among every demographic. The 1996 Atlanta Centennial Olympic Games were the most-watched TV sports event in history, broadcast in 214 countries and territories with a cumulative audience of 19.6 billion. In the U.S., those Games reached 87 percent of television households and about 193.5 million unduplicated viewers. Eighty-one percent of women, 78 percent of men, 72 percent of teens (12 to 17) and 78 percent of children watched some portion of the Olympics. The average viewer saw about 31 percent of NBC's 171.5 hours of coverage (Gardyn). This article will be useful because it shows why big companies, such as McDonalds, want to advertise at an athletic event even though they sell unhealthy food.

This encyclopedia article argues that although it is possible to eat nutritious fast foods, menus tend to be stacked with items high on most dietitians' ‘Avoid!’ lists. On average, one-fifth of the population of the USA (45 million people) eat in a fast-food restaurant each day (Kent). Fast foods include salty french fries, beef burgers, fried chicken, and pizzas with a thick cheese covering. These appeal to the Western palate by being fatty, low in fiber and nutrients, but high in salt. One beef burger can contain more than 1000 milligrams of sodium (Kent). To make matters worse, they are often served with sugar-laden soft drinks or creamy milkshakes full of empty calories and fat. This article will be useful because it shows how most people don’t choose the healthy option offered at fast food restaurants.

This encyclopedia article argues the myth that fast foods are always an unhealthy choice and you should not eat them when dieting. Fast foods can be part of a healthy weight-loss program with a little bit of know-how. Some tips they suggest is to avoid supersized combo meals, or split one with a friend. Also to sip on water or fat-free milk instead of soda. Choose salads and grilled foods, like a grilled chicken breast sandwich or small hamburger. Try a “fresco” taco (with salsa instead of cheese or sauce) at taco stands. Fried foods, like french fries and fried chicken, are high in fat and calories, so order them only once in a while, order a small portion, or split an order with a friend. Also, use only small amounts of high-fat, high-calorie toppings, like regular mayonnaise, salad dressings, bacon, and cheese (Donna).
