Recommended: Causes of obesity and its effects

Eating too much is a huge problem for many Americans and some of the reasons for this problem are actually quite straight forward. The video, Chicken Wing Study, presents a few ways including eating food directly from the bag rather than placing it into a serving dish first. Another way to overeat that the video mentions is eating while being distracted by other activities. The video discusses one other way that leads to overeating, being near food. This is a phenomenon that I have experienced directly while living in a studio apartment. I was always a few steps away in direct line of site from the kitchen, I would constantly binge eat because food was always so easily accessible.

Just knowing these problems exist is an important first step

  • Obesity: Serving Sizes Are Growing in America

    With an unlimited meal plan and buffet-style meals, do we students know how big our portions should be?  If we are accustomed to being served super-sized portions, we might not realize when we are serving ourselves over-sized portions in our dining halls. In fact, researchers have found that increased portion size is an even greater problem in cafeteria settings like ours, noting a positive association between larger food receptacles and increased consumption(2).  A correlational study at Cornell found significant weight gain in freshmen during the first twelve weeks of school and identified that both the “all-you-can-eat” dining hall style and student snacking on “junk-food” were key variables explaining a positive linear relationship with weight gai...

  • Chicken Wing Scapula Lab Report

    306 Words  | 1 Pages

    I decided to palpate the spine of the scapula. I did this because the scapula is more defined in the back making it easier to feel on my partners back. I was able to locate the scapula on the rib cage and also the scapulae surface. I was capable of palpate the indentations at the superior and inferior halves of the bone as well. The easiest place to palpate was the scapula surface. The surface was very visible when my partner extended his arm out to his side. The most challenging to palpate was the indentation because I had to really feel for it. Even with my partner extending his arm out I could barely find it. I had to have my partner put his arm down and extend it back out to find the indentation.

  • Chicken Leg Lab Report

    313 Words  | 1 Pages

    The conclusions I've drawn from this experiment were how closely related the chicken leg is to a human's leg, and how they work compared to us. The chicken leg has muscles in almost the same spots as us, on their thigh and calf. our tendons and ligaments function the same, but just on a chicken leg. The first thing i saw was the muscles, and they were pink and in similar spots to humans. I found it weird that the chicken’s leg muscles stretched and contracted at one point, also that electrical impulses were sent to tell those muscles to move. Even though it was just a leg the quadriceps still twitched/contracted when we squeezed it. The next thing i seen were all the two types of blood vessels, and the differences between them. Next I seen

    What stood out to me in this video is the alarmingly growing rate of obesity and diabetes in the United States. Obesity and Diabetes Type II are both diseases that a person can easily avoid by becoming more aware of what he or she is consuming on a regular basis. In the video, one of Dr. Esselstyn’s patients, San’Dera Nation, who used a plant-based diet to reverse her diabetes and hypertension said “…do not live to eat, but eat to live”. This statement helped clarify the thought that many people eat for reasons other than health. For example, holidays are a huge time for socializing and, with that socializing, a huge emphasis is placed on food and drink. Not only are social gatherings a time that food is of importance, but, generally, as a matter of lifestyle, many people eat food as a means to feel happy. People enjoy the taste of food (particularly food that is ...

    Finally, the most common choice people make that causes them to be obese is eating unhealthy. Obesity frequently occurs from poor diet. This includes eating processed foods and foods with high fat content, such as sugary sodas, candies, and sweets. Filling themselves with these unhealthy foods leaves individuals with little room for healthy choices such as fruits and vegetables. Eating out frequently at a fast food chain or restaurant, where ordering fattening foods is the norm, contributes to a poor diet.

  • Chicken Case Study

    Chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is a domesticated fowl, a subspecies of the Red Jungle fowl. It is one of the most common and widespread domestic animals throughout the globe. Domestic chicken is the first populous livestock species with an estimate of 19 billion, three per person in the world (The Economist, 2011). Poultry contributes about 30% (Permin and Pedersen, 2000) of all animal protein consumed in the world. Moreover, they share 34.6% of global livestock meat, of which chicken species account 88% of the global poultry meat and 30.1% of global animal meat (FAO, 2012a). Village poultry make a significant contribution to poverty alleviation and household food security in many developing countries (Alders RG, Pym RAE, 2009). About 1.5 billion chickens are raised in Africa, 80% of them belonging to local chicken populations and found in the rural and peri-urban areas, where birds are raised in small numbers by the traditional extensive or semi-intensive, low-input–low-output systems (Sonaiya, 1997; Gueye, 1998). Indigenous chickens are considered to make a significant contribution to food security and the economical sustainability of rural households (Gueye, 2002; Aboe P and etal, 2006; and Faustin, et al, 2010).

  • A Place To Eat: The Best Place To Eat

    1124 Words  | 3 Pages

    It is astonishing how little time is spent by an individual physically looking at the food they are putting in to their body. The act of just sitting there alone and staring at one’s food is not interesting. Actually eating is dull and feels repetitive as all one is doing is biting the food, chewing, swallowing, and then the same actions repeat again. A person wants to be distracted with a restaurants nice view, a conversations with a friend, or even just watching their favorite television show in bed. So not only are you sitting or lying in that comfortable sedentary position, you have a distraction to keep you entertained from the lackluster act of eating, but also if you are not paying attention to what you are eating you can consume more food and at the same time not feel guilty about it. For instance, there is a difference in the way one feels about eating a bag of salty and fattening chips if they are actually physically staring at the chips and watching how many they are consuming compared to having their eyes glued to a television screen while the bag of chips is just next to them and they are consuming as they watch. You are more likely to feel guilty and have the urge to stop eating if you are actually looking with your eyes on what you are eating. Of course eating while watching entertainment is
