The presentation I decided to write about was Nick’s presentation about obesity in the U.S. I knew that obesity was a problem but I didn’t realize it was this bad, according to his presentation, obesity in the U.S. is a major problem because 34% of people are obese. That is 1 out of every 3 people. Also, I learned that African Americans and Hispanics are more likely to become obese than Caucasians, also Asians are the least likely to become obese. This was hard for me to understand because I had always thought it didn’t matter what race you were, I thought your eating habits and how regularly you exercise was what decided if you were obese. This presentation made an impact on me because knowing that 1 in 3 Americans are obese something needs to be done and I not only have to control my eating habits, but help others control there’s.
