3 website. Investigate obesity rates for your area. Refer to maps illustrating state obesity statistics and county obesity rates to determine the prevalence of obesity in your area. How do the statistics for your community compare with those for other areas? Is the obesity rate increasing or decreasing? What accounts for this trend? Then, have students develop personal eating and exercise plans to improve their health. The class can find helpful tips for eating from Michael Pollan on the POV website.

One way to do this would be to input the address of your school in Google Maps and use the Search Nearby feature to map grocery stores in the surrounding area. What types of foods are sold at the stores that come up in the search results? Are there any food deserts in the community?

6 Argument Essay Graphic Organizer Name: Period Title: (Does not have to be a sentence.) Red Meat? Claim: (This is your stance, thesis, or position. This is the point of your whole paper. Write your claim in a complete sentence.) The United States dependence on red meat is detrimental to the environment. Argument Paragraph #1 Topic Sentence: (Write a Much of the country s farmland is used to raise crops to feed animals being raised for consumption. Argument Paragraph #2 Growing crops to feed animals being raised for consumption is inefficient. Argument Paragraph #3 Grain feeding animals is costly. - large amounts of feed necessary to raise meet (beef =7-8# feed/1 # meat) (pork = 6# feed/1# meat) (source #1)) - raising crops to feed animals for people to eat is costly and wastes land that could be used for raising grass fed animals instead (source #1) - most crops in U.S. are raised to feed animals, rather than humans (approx. 70 % of crops raised to feed animals, rather than humans) (source #2) - animals raised naturally are healthier to consume and less harmful to the ecosystem (source #2) - significant percentages of soybean and corn crops are grown simply to raise animals, as opposed to those same crops being raised for human consumption (source #1) - this causes environmental issues (ex: the animals passing gas affects greenhouse gasses, nitrous fertilizer used on crops contributes to greenhouse effect, turning forest into pastures or field increases the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, animal waste produce methane when not properly composted) (source #1) - causes more greenhouse gas emissions than transportation (more than 18% total emissions) (source #3) - hidden costs (source #1) - need 1,000 tons of water to raise one ton of grain (source #1) - approx. 80 percent of ground water used to water crops being grown to feed livestock - fuel is needed to get water to livestock (source #1) - takes far less water to nurture the animals than it does to water the crops used to feed animals (source #3) - the amount of grain needed to feed the animals consumed by humans would feed the equivalent of 800 million people (source #2) Conclusion: Restate subject, summarize main points, restate claim. A commitment by Americans to reduce red meat consumption would improve not only the health of our nation s citizens, but improve the environment as well. Everybody has a part to play in the future.
