Healthy People 2010/Obesity Objective
A 3 page research paper that discusses the overweight/obesity objective 19-1 of the Health People 2010 goals.

Eating Disorders / Treatment Alternatives
Anorexia, bulimia and obesity are all considered by the general public as eating disorders. It would be more appropriate to designate them as 'weight disorders', as they are primarily concerned with and defined, at least in part, by the weight of the individual. Anorexia is loss of weight to the point of emaciation and, or starvation. The physical repercussions are the uppermost consideration in the treatment of Anorexia because of the nature of physical damage caused by the disorder. Bulimia is an obsession with the manipulation of factors concerned with weight gain. Obesity is when weight exceeds a certain percentage of the norm and causes health problems. This 10 page paper examines the components of these eating disorders and the treatments available. Bibliography lists 21 sources.

Still Raising Hell
A 6 page book report on Sheila Baxter's 'Still Raising Hell.' Baxter's book is a first hand look at poverty, obesity, and general prejudices aimed towards the less privileged, or the less beautiful, people. Baxter's main issue is that in dealing with this subject matter, it has only been the 'educated' that truly write about these realities, not the victims themselves. She has lived the life of the poor, and in many ways still lives the life of the less privileged and her book details how, even at her age, she is 'still raising hell.'
