In today’s blog we’re going to discuss an article titled “American Adults Just Keep Getting Fatter” and this article basically just reviews how Americans just seem to keep getting bigger rather than slimmer. They explain how the risks of developing heart disease, diabetes and cancer are being increased as they keep obtaining weight. They also point that American youth are better than adults when it comes to being obese.
Matt Richtel and Andrew Jacobs. Matt being a best-selling author and Andrew being a health and science department in New York both collaborated to create this article . Both of them being reporters to The New York Times.
The audience would be both American youths and American Adults. It is seen throughout the article, that both audiences are being targeted with the statistics given. The people that really care about their weight is usually teenagers and upcoming adults because they tend to care about appearance.
This article was published on March 23, 2018. After following up with many statistics and results on how American Adults are becoming more obese within the years. Over the years America has mode obesity a huge deal but with children and at one point America was the number one FATTEST country in the world but now we are number two.
The main argument within this article was that Americans just continue to pile up on pounds becoming more obese within the years. I believe that people in America are still gaining weight from things that are labeled as low fattening. Things that are low in fat are the reason people eat more and more. When you don’t eat fats you don’t feel as full as usual and low fattening doesn’t fill you up so you just eat more and more until you feel full.
ClaimsRisks such as heart disease, diabetes and various cancers can come within obesity. Efforts on educating people about the health risks of having a poor diet do not seem to be workingYouths seem to be doing a better job than. Adults when it comes to obesity
Evidence. 7.7 percent of American adults were reported to be severely obese therefore increasing their risks to various cancers, diseases, and diabetes. Eating too much contributes to being overweight hinting at a poor dieting scheme and telling people about the problem doesn’t simply just solve it. American youth aging from 2 to 19 had an 18.5% obesity rate in 2015 & 2016, while 5.6% were marked towards being severely obese; therefore comparing the youth to adults comes to show that the youth are doing a bit better than adults.
