TS=Topic Sentence SD=Supporting Detail CS=Concluding Statement
Obesity in North America
Obesity has become a major health issue for North
Americans, and this problem is aggravated by the lack of
physical activity in large segments of the population. In
addition to healthier eating habits, one solution would be to
make it easier for obese North Americans to exercise on a
daily basis. This could be done at work, before and after the
shift, to ensure full participation in the program. This
program would be beneficial to obese employees as they
would be required to participate twice daily to help
decrease obesity among North Americans.
