Abstract
This paper discusses fat intake and people's concerns over ingesting high levels of fat. It begins by describing the importance of fats for normal body functioning. It then goes on to describe the risks of taking too many trans fats, saturated fats and cholesterol into the body. The paper concludes with a letter to a college cafeteria regarding the health content of the food they provide.
From the Paper
"According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health, more than 12.5 million Americans have CHD, and more than 500,000 die from it each year. This makes CHD one of the leading causes of death in the U.S. The DRI committee recommends that no more than 30 - 35 percent of calories should come from fat. The percentage may vary with the total calories. For example, a person who needs 2,000 calories per day, the recommended intake of saturated fat is 20 grams or less per day, and the recommended intake of total fat is 65 grams. To alert people about the importance of fat intake, the FDA has required saturated fat and dietary cholesterol to be listed on food labels since 1993, and, on January 1, 2006, the FDA began requiring the addition of trans fat on labels."

Abstract
This paper discusses where one can find a policy basis for federal dietary guidance and for shaping nutrition education. It looks at and discusses various guidelines that have been set down with regards to daily nutritional intake. The writer then analyzes his own daily dietary intake and compares it to the recommended daily nutritional intake.
From the Paper
"There is no RDA for fiber at this time. The average consumption in industrial nations is 15 grams per day, which helps in a number of ways to keep the dietary tract healthy. Fiber also helps fight obesity and decreases the level of cholesterol in the body. It helps stabilize glucose concentration in the blood and can purify the body of toxins and heavy metals. However, high dietary fiber can reduce the effectiveness of some medicines. It may also restrict the absorption of nutrients such as iron, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, and calcium (What is dietary fiber [fibre] and its role in nutrition, 2007, Sections 1-2)."

Intake Procedures For Juvenile Justice, 2004.
A discussion on whether the intake processes in the juvenile justice systems are really fair.

Abstract
This paper examines how there are many valid, and even disturbing, questions surrounding fairness issues in the processing (arrest, intake screening, assignment to incarceration) of juveniles into the criminal justice system in America. It looks at how the disproportionate number of minorities locked up in juvenile justice systems is a glaring issue that has not really been addressed adequately. It also discusses how it is likely that the intake processes are going to continue to be based prevention and punishment rather than fairness and justice.
From the Paper
"Bias against minority children incarcerated in the juvenile justice system ? and a lack of good mental health service for them ? is an unequivocal reality. Certainly, based on the research (Thomas, et al, 1999) an analysis of previous empirical data, it appears that when the juvenile is an African American, that offender is far more apt to a) receive a more severe disposition at the intake level; and, b) when in potential need of mental health services, be tossed in JJS lockup rather than given the health care required. Research shows that adolescents are clearly subject to ?irrevocable stereotypes? in JJSs, the authors say, an ?inequitable? phenomenon which has invoked criticism from a wide range of groups."

Abstract
This paper explains the importance of calcium in a child's diet and takes a look at the calcium intake and needs of children and adolescents. The paper summarizes a study on fracture rates vs. milk consumption, on adolescent bone mineral density and on calcium in vegan diets and then looks at dietary factors which affect calcium intake, absorption and calcium loss.
From the Paper
"Calcium intake in children may be insufficient for their needs, as their bones are growing and a study by Goulding et al showed that children who avoided drinking cow's milk for prolonged periods and did not consume calcium-rich food substitutes had low bone mineral densities. Low bone density combined with a high body weight increases the risk of bone fractures during growth when children are more prone to such fractures. Optimal bone growth cannot take place without sufficient calcium intake and in the Western countries dairy products are..."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Numerous studies performed have demonstrated several reasons that depict the growing food epidemic. Eating behavior has been correlated to the effects of daily hassles. Research has found that an increase in daily hassles was associated with an enhancement in consumption of foods high in fat and sugar along with a decrease in regular meals and vegetables (O'Connor, Jones, Conner, McMillian, & Ferguson, 2008). Abundance in caloric intake was also found in consumers when given the option of tasting full-, reduced-, or no-fat foods. Women were found to adhere to the norm of society by choosing the no-fat foods, signifying that the placement of nutrition labels on foods curbs the eating behavior of people of certain races, gender, and living place (Bushman, 1998)."

"STRESS AND DIETARY INTAKE
Abstract
This research paper examined the influence of stress on dietary intake with a discussion of stress-induced eating, stress and food choice, gender and female choices, obesity and eating disorders, and conclusions. The literature reported that animal and human studies have been conducted and each support the relationship between stress and overeating, poor food choices, obesity, and eating disorders. Human studies have shown that stress results in high cognitive loads and threats to the ego which prevents diet monitoring and results in increased snack-food choices and overeating. Further analysis of stress-induced eating has shown that emotional stress, more than environmental stress, and psychophysiological responses are mediating factors."

Discrimination Against Fat People, 2007.
An examination of the oppression and discrimination against fat people - fat prejudice.
2,212 words (approx. 8.8 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 68.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this paper the writer argues that the effects of oppression and discrimination against fat people exact a heavy toll, especially on women. It shows that there are health advantages in being fat, that the dangers of fat are over-rated, especially in relation to women, and that the health dangers of being too thin are systematically under-rated. This paper explains that the true problem is fat prejudice, not the so-called obesity epidemic. The writer points out that fat prejudice works in favor of the powerful diet industry, giving rise to the suspicion that fat prejudice is fanned in the media due to the influence of this industry.
From the Paper
"The media constantly tells us that thin people are healthy and beautiful, and that fat people are unhealthy and ugly. However, it is argued that the health dangers of obesity are hugely over-rated, for a variety of reasons. These include the interests of the multi-million dollar diet industry, as well as the fact that coercing women into worrying constantly about their weight is an effective part of the anti-feminist backlash, ensuring that women waste their energy on frivolous matters. Moreover, it will be argued that the greatest threat to the mental and physical health of fat people is not their fat, but rather fat oppression: the discrimination that fat people face in our fat-phobic society."

Abstract
The courage to change is at the heart of Raymond Carver's short story, "Fat." The paper shows that the waitress experiences a moment of clarity after waiting on the fat customer, which inspires her to change her life. It shows that the man's appearance, how he treats her and how he reminds her of her own life cause her to reconsider her choices in the past. Her relationship with her husband reinforces her feelings as she comes to realize that she can choose to be a victim, like the fat man, or she can choose a better life.
From the Paper
"Furthermore, it becomes clear that feels something toward him, for she asks him where he is from and how his soup was. In addition, she agrees with him when he asks if it is warm in the building. Their rapport continues when she tells him that a person has to be comfortable and he responds by telling her, ?That is very, very true? (67). At this point, we cannot help but wonder if they are speaking to each other about different things. On the surface they are discussing how a re person has to be comfortable, but the underlying message is that neither one of them is comfortable in their place in life. Again, the waitress is aware that something is happening, but she still cannot identify what it is."

Abstract
This paper discusses fats in the diet of human beings and how they relate to cholesterol. It looks at the reasons why fats are a necessary part of our diet and also looks at the positive aspects of cholesterol. The paper then focuses on physical ailments and disorders that are associated with an imbalance in any of these. Finally, the paper discusses how we can mitigate and reverse the effects of too much fat and how to lead to a healthy diet and lifestyle.
From the Paper
"Fats are a necessary part of our diet. They are necessary for organ function, the protection of the body, and for energy storage and vitamin processing. Cholesterol is also necessary (both HDL and LDL). But, there are a host of physical ailments and disorders that are associated with an imbalance in any of these. Too little fat and the cells fail to function, too much and obesity, CVD and diabetes occur. Too little cholesterol and the body can't transport blood-borne nutrients, too much and the veins get clogged and heart attack and stroke follow. By increasing the amount of Omega-3 fatty acids and reducing saturated and trans-fats, by increasing exercise and taking beneficial supplements where appropriate, it is then possible for people to mitigate and reverse the effects of too much fat, and to lead to a healthy diet and lifestyle."

Abstract
This paper relates that, in the video "F.A.T. City", Rick Lavoie shows a group of participants how it can feel to have a learning disability and to be treated as if everything should be easy for them when, in fact, it is not. The paper then describes an effective teaching strategy talked about in the video as well as Lavoie's discussion on the concept of fairness. The author concludes that when she has her own classroom she will implement many techniques suggested by Lavoie and other professionals.
From the Paper
"When working with children with disabilities, especially in a general education classroom setting, fairness means that everyone gets what he or she needs. So, when I am a teacher and need to modify or adjust some curriculum to meet the needs of a child with a disability and am met with opposition claiming that it is unfair, I will simply take the time to explain this truth."

?My Big Fat Greek Wedding?, 2004.
An analysis of the cultural differences in the film, ?My Big Fat Greek Wedding?

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze the film, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" directed by Joel Zwick. Specifically, it discusses the differences between Greek and American culture that can lead to unhappiness and lack of self-esteem. The paper examines how the main character grows and manages to find love and happiness despite her Greek family.
From the Paper
"Another cultural difference in the film is the family. The Greek family is very large, loud, meddling, and sometimes obnoxious. They insist that their way is the only way, and do not understand Ian's vegetarianism any more than they understand tofu and organic beef. They are lusty, earthy, and opinionated, a far cry from Ian's family who does not fit in the Greek family's society any more than the Greeks fit in theirs. This is funny, but it is sad too, because both families eventually put up with each other, but do not truly respect each other, and that says something about Greek and American culture, and how accepting it is, ultimately, of different cultures and beliefs. This is shown subtly in the church, where Ian's side of the church has sparse attendance from a small family, while Toula's side is filled with boisterous relatives from everywhere."

Abstract
The paper discusses how, although a majority of research studies promote the use of phosphatidylcholine solubilized with deoxycholate for the reduction of subcutaneous fat, there are others that question its use due to the inability to determine the active ingredient. The paper provides a literature review and concludes that there is a serious lack of clinical evidence to support the efficacy or safety of the treatment. The paper is of the opinion that use of this compound could have dire consequences for patients and doctors alike.

From the Paper
"The search for a shapely body has led medical science to search for treatments that will provide the fastest results, with the least effort. Mesotherapy was developed in Europe and has become a popular method for containing unwanted fat deposits in the body. The treatment is beginning to spark interest in the United States as well. Mesotherapy to remove fat is cost effective as compared to liposuction and does not require the healing time. Mesotherapy costs between $1,000 to $6,000, as compared to liposuction that costs between $3,00 -$12,000 (Strauss, no date)."
