Synthesis and Plan

I have been researching all about nutrition and the well-being of people. I am fascinated by how people make decisions and what fuels their decisions to make healthy/unhealthy choices. Thus, so far I have beeing looking into why Americans are so fat and why people make unhealthy decisions. I have researched how our wealth affects our weight, how our choices affect our weight, and also how some people don't have much control over their weight. I have learned that many times a lower income leads to obesity due to the abundance of cheap yet junky food available. I have also learned that technology has played a surprisingly large role in the rise of obesity. Some questions that I would still like to discover with my research are:

• Is the price of healthy food better in the long run?
• Is the increase of fast food restaurants a main reason for the increase in obesity?
• Why do people go on such harsh diets when all they need is to eat healthier and get a normal amount of exercise?
• What would it take to motivate people to be healthier (both with diet and exercise).
