Introduction

Welcome to An Insight to Obesity and Education!  I hope you enjoy my blog and come away learning something that you did not know.  My name is Tiffany, I attend college at the University of Idaho; I am getting a B.S. in Food and Nutrition with the Dietetics option.  

I will be blogging about obesity related to the increasing numbers and education related to the U.S. system.  Obesity is a growing concern and more knowledge needs to be directed to this topic, that is affecting so many people of all ages.  Education is very important however, it is lacking in advancing to the current day and age.  

My observations from sociological research and theories do help in our understanding of identifying and treating social problems.  The research and theories help us to think with a big picture mindset, and make us look differently at how we usually tend to view social problems.  These theories allow us to be exposed to social problems in a new light.  Allowing us to question and re-evaluate how we think and act on social problems.

"Now is the accepted time, not tomorrow, not some more convenient season. It is today that our best work can be done and not some future day or future year. It is today that we fit ourselves for the greater usefulness of tomorrow. Today is the seed time, now are the hours of work, and tomorrow comes the harvest and the playtime."  W. E. B. Du Bois

"Your past is important but it is not nearly as important to your present as the way you see your future." Tony Campolo
