2021. (CLO2)

Outline: Argumentative Paper on Obesity and Government Intervention
I. Introduction
a. Thesis: The obesity epidemic needs a government intervention because the
medical costs associated with obesity cost taxpayers money, unhealthy foods need
tighter regulations, and schools need to provide healthier options.
II. Short Response 1: The medical cost associated with weight-related issues has
significantly contributed to individual taxes.
a. Supporting evidence: “…the costs of obesity arising from individuals’ poor
nutritional choices are borne by society as a whole through taxes, lost
productivity, and an overburdened healthcare system. In 2008, the medical costs
associated with obesity and obesity-related illnesses totaled US $147 billion in the
United States” (Franck et al., 2013, p. 1951).
i. Explanation: This quote demonstrates not only the connection between
obesity, medical costs, and increased taxes, but also shows the exact costs
from a fairly recent year.
ii. So what?: This quote supports the claim that weight-related medical
issues contribute to increased taxes for all taxpayers by explaining the
connection and demonstrating the high dollar costs to show that this is a
current problem affecting a government process (taxation) and therefore
could appropriately be addressed by government intervention.
III. Short Response 2: Another reason that weight should be considered a governmental
issue is that the market for unhealthy food in America has overtaken the general food
market and the government needs to actively curb the incentives to frequent these
establishments.
a. Supporting Evidence: “[M]eals are increasingly being consumed outside the
home, and these meals tend to be higher in fat. A literal fat tax… theoretically
would encourage individuals to opt for low-fat or nonfat alternatives” (Franck et
al., 2013, p. 1951).
i. Explanation: This quote alludes to many of the main problems with fast
food consumption and explains what a fat tax would attempt to do to curb
the consumption of junk food.
ii. So what?: Showing that a fat tax would be able to curb overconsumption
of obesity-causing fast food demonstrates the need for the government to
impose such a thing.
IV. Short Response 3: Finally, the government is responsible for ensuring that children
have access to healthy food and exercise while in school.
a. Supporting Evidence: A connection between Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move!”
campaign and a reduction in overall childhood obesity across America has been
demonstrated (Tucker, 2013, p. 5).
i. Explanation: This information shows the effectiveness of government-
backed programs, with “Let’s Move!” as the specific example.
**Step 1**: Review the Criminal Justice Impacts on Society: The George Floyd Case final paper assignment instructions and rubric in Week 6.
**Step 2**: Create an outline.
Your outline should contain the follow topics that reflect sections of the final paper, and each topic or step of the outline will include only two sentences regarding what will be discussed in that section, focusing on the particular factors that need to be covered in your final paper.
