Taming Fat
An 8 page paper discussing some of the discoveries associating obesity with genetic predisposition. Obesity is approaching "epidemic" levels in the United States, and along with its increase also are rises in incidence of diabetes. Diabetes' high blood sugar damages organs, including the heart, kidneys and eyes. Diabetes is in itself a risk factor for heart disease, and we have known for years that high serum cholesterol (i.e., fat) constitutes a separate risk factor for heart disease as well. The purpose here is to trace fat's progress and examine some of the factors resulting in some people being lean, others becoming obese while practicing very similar dietary habits.

Sleeping Disorders: Apnea
6 pages in length. Research findings indicate that nearly eighteen million Americans suffer with the dangerous and exhausting effects of sleep apnea, in which "certain mechanical and structural problems in the airway cause the interruptions in breathing during sleep" (Hunt, 2002). Telltale signs of a potential problem include loud snoring, obesity, high blood pressure and a physical blockage of the nose, throat or upper airway. Its prevalence appears to be genetic to some degree; however, its appearance in overweight patients also indicates that its composition is rooted in both genetics and environment.

ADA's Effect on Small Business
A 23 page paper discussing the effect that the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 has had on small business in costs of compliance. The law originated with good intentions and originally exempted very small businesses from needing to comply in any but the very broadest terms. Since then, however, other "disabilities" such as obesity have gained official recognition as disabilities, and activist groups have sued small business owners to force them into compliance despite the costs and despite lack of complaints by disabled customers or workers. The paper argues that the ADA as it applies to small business is oppressive and imposes undue burden on small businesses. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

The Physiological, Psychological And Environmental Factors Influencing Weight Management
11 pages in length. With two-thirds of the American adult population overweight and just over thirty percent of them considered obese, there is no question as to the critical nature of weight management in the United States today. The influencing factors - which are mildly persuasive for some and wholly overwhelming for others - run the gamut from a thin-crazed culture to nutritionally-void fast food to an altogether uneducated society when it comes to eating a healthy diet. People have reached the point of being utterly confused and frustrated when it comes to making informed nutritional decisions, given the fact that they have been spoon-fed conflicting - albeit well-meaning - advice from myriad sources that keeps them in a perpetual state of obesity. Far too many people never gain the upper hand on their weight problem, with about 300,000 ultimately succumbing to the fatal aspects of unhealthy dietary habits and physical inactivity inherent to obesity. Bibliography lists 17 sources.
