Weight of the Nation Essay – The HBO documentary on America’s obesity epidemic
For modules 6, 7, and 8, you will watch the first 3 parts of a documentary titled, Weight of the Nation. The HBO documentary confronts America’s obesity epidemic and is presented in four sections:
- Part 1: Consequences
- Part 2: Choices
- Part 3: Children in Crisis
- Part 4: Challenges
During Modules 6, 7 and 8, you are required to watch one section and we will discuss the documentary as a group in the Discussion Board. Each section is about an hour so make sure to give yourself sufficient time to watch the documentary. As usual, you are required to post your first comment before you can see the rest of that Module’s discussion, so posting early is best. Remember that you are required to post to at least two of your classmates as well; therefore, the earlier we all post the better the discussion will be. If you do not post your first comment by 4 days into the Module, points will be deducted.
Module 6 Requirement: Watch Weight of the Nation, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pEkCbqN4uo Part 1: Consequences. Post your comments, thoughts, etc. to the discussion board. First post must be submitted by November 3rd for full credit.
