Obesity is now said to be an epidemic here in the U. S. Using the videos “Super-Size Me” and the “Portion-Size Me” along with CDC. gov; explain why this has happened. Your essay should include SPECIFIC details of Morgan’s journey, along with the research Jim Painter and his students did through food service, food safety, dieting, portion sizes, vegetarianism, media, diseases, society, etc. You may want to use what you have learned about portions, reading food labels and nutrition fact sheets play an important role in our nutrition choices. Were there any interesting details and/or findings? Think about what you have learned about fast food, food labels and general nutrition to help build reasons.
Remember the obesity maps from CDC and these numbers for 2018:
No state had a prevalence of obesity less than 20%.
2 states (Colorado and Hawaii) and the District of Columbia had a prevalence of obesity between 20% and <25%.
17states and Guam had a prevalence of obesity between 25% and <30%.
22 states and Puerto Rico had a prevalence of obesity between 30% and <35%.
9 states (Alabama, Arkansas, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, and West Virginia) had a prevalence of obesity of 35% or greater.

You will put this into a 5 paragraph essay and turn it into Google Classrooms. Think about what your 3 paragraphs that support the reasons “WHY” obesity has become an epidemic in our nation. Provide clear and FACTUAL EVIDENCE to support your reasons.
