Read 'n' Seed Post 1: Obesity , Business and Public Policy

My book is titled "Obesity , Business and Public Policy" by Zoltan J. Acs and Alan Lyles. This book is very interesting to me and talks about how obesity started and how it became such a huge epidemic. It also talks about how obesity spread and the causes of it and when people started to actually notice it.One thing that I do like that the book talks about is the effects of childhood obesity and how it effetcs income and certain populations and also how the government deals with it and there policies on it. The book also talks about the effects of health insurance on different people and how that can affect people who are obese. The good thing about this book is that it covers all apsects of obesity and how it affects the individual, business and government. I chose this book because I plan to find a career in helping obese patients and knowledge is power to me and I want to know every little aspect and as many details as I possibly can to help. I looked through alot of books and I believe this book will give me the best insight to learn more about it.

I got this book from the UMD Library after my book that I first had didnt go through.

Book Review Article 

This book is 250 pages long and has 13 chapters. I plan to just break it down into 4. I think its best if I break it into 4 different parts. Thats 62.5 pages for each part. I hope I learn alot more and can help others and teach others to the best of my ability when I am finished.

amandaswaterbottlewatch ...had a very interesting share and voice that I wanted to talk about. I really liked how she went out there and helped out with the Great Lakes Aquarium Garbage pick up, but there was a part of the post that bothered me. It has nothing to do with her but with the most common piece of garbage that was picked up. So take a gander at this video I found 



 This video really explores how trash makes it into the ocean and how easy it is...especially cigeratte butts. Im sorry but this bother me so much because its something so easy as just throwing the darn thing in the ashtray or those gray things on the ground that hold the butts. I apologize for my attitude but I feel this is a huge concern and it just shows how lazy people can be.

Peace love and afro pics.

Reflections Post: Week 1 and 2

wow! time flew by quick. I would have to say that I am extremely excited for this class. I really like discussion classes where your able to express yourself and how you feel about certain topics. I thought the star wars activity was really cool and broke the ice a bit. It really gave me a reality check into my own life and made me realize how to solve some of the issues I have been going through and future problems as well. My goal is to apply a new mind state and to open my eyes to the enviromental part of the world because in all honesty I usually pay my attention on sports and music and food. But im glad to be in this class and I think there is a lot for me to learn and to express. NOW...as far as this blog thing goes...Im more confused than all get out and I am not sure why haha. But I think I am getting better at it. Hope everyone has a good safe weekend.

-Just remember that even if you miss, your still shooting with the stars.

Peace.
