What have you looked at so far
Fork over knives is a movie based on this lifestyle,Colin
Campbell, Ph.D., author of The China Study,
How useful do you think they will be and why? Be as specific
as possible. Please include links to web sources that you have found and add a
brief description of them.
These are some really useful and powerful sources that are
backed by medical journals. The foundation for the conclusions presented in
Forks Over Knives is built by Cornell University professor T. Colin Campbell,
PhD, and Caldwell B. Esselstyn, MD, of the Cleveland Clinic. Campbell conducted
several studies and research experiments outlined in the book. Esselstyn
treated and continues to treat some of his patients with strict changes in
diet.
This is some information about the movie and a trailer link.

What are your next steps if this topic is approved? What
would be the next steps in the writing and research project next week?
I am thinking I will start by amassing all the information I
can get. Then beginning to write a introduction and a thesis with a coherent
argument.
What difficulties do you see at this time in moving forward
with the research process?
Making sure my thesis statement is strong and clear and all
the information I have gathered is not pieced together out of format.
your topic seem to be too vast.it might be a challenge, but that isn't always bad.your blog entry was very clear , i'm looking forward to read your paper. i think youll nail it
ReplyDeleteI think you should go into detail of what exactly a plant based diet means. But other than that, great topic.
ReplyDeleteI think that is the point of the paper to go into detail. For the sake of the people that might not understand what I am talking about. I am basically saying having a high vegetable diet with little or no meat is disease preventative and better for you then having a high meat processed food diet. If you dont know what processed foods are google it ,thank you for the responses
ReplyDeleteI agree with this topic and your argument for it. Would you perhaps include the spiritual benefits of such a diet? Also to argue against your topic even though I agree with it. I think everyone's body is different so diversity in diet is needed. For example in colder environments consuming meat is needed. People even adapt to eating "unhealthy" foods as well. Hah just a thought and good luck~
