Benjamin is researching the problem of obesity in the U.S. His claim is that convenience stores should be required to have a variety of fresh fruit and vegetables available for sale throughout the year. He wants to include the following reason to support his claim: Working families in urban areas are more likely to be obese because they have limited access to healthy foods, but, if they had more places to purchase healthy foods, they’d eat them more often. Here are some resources he found:
a .edu website on the health benefits of bodyweight exercises
a .gov website article on how poverty is associated with weight gain
a blog by a life-long organic farmer about the drawbacks of convenience store junk food
a gym chain’s article on how to burn calories and lose weight
