In the beginning of this project, I carried a larger focus towards the growth of obesity in the United States, rather than the percentage
of American's overweight. I wanted to explore the connection between the number of fast food outlets and the rate of obesity. I began my
timeline in the year 1960, and plan to predict for the year 2020, For the number of fast food outlets, I noticed a more of an exponential
growth, especially for the spread of McDonald restaurants. For the rate of obesity, I expected to find possibly and exponential growth, but
found that the rate was more stable that I thought. For the most part, the growth seemed stable, nevertheless increasing each year.

I found that there would be several factors to consider. This was especially difficult to weigh out within the core of my model because
there were so many of them. These factors included: the environment, genetic relevance, disease and drugs, balance of nutrition, activity
level, and fast food production.

Mid way through my project, I found little data about the growth of the number of fast food outlets throughout the United States. This not
only left me puzzled, but wondering which direction I should go next. Instead of using the number of fast food outlets as the core of my
project, I decided to use this as a side note, as an effect it had in obesity. I shifted my focus more towards the different age groups, and
the rate of obesity within those age ranges.

I was quickly finding data, and recorded them on my individual notebook. I found increases in all age ranges, from childhood to adults. This
was no surprise as obesity has been a growing problem for quite some time now.

In conclusion, my models exemplify the growth of this problem within this country. It shows the rise in percentage, and the consequences we
have and will face more in the future. Not only is this controllable problem becoming a life-threatening disease, it is costing our country
millions of dollars.

Obesity has become a fear; this needs to be better maintained for the future health of our environment, habit, and kids. There are several
factors for this rise, but none that can explain the choices of each individual. Before the year 2020 hits, I hope that my predictions will be
proved wrong and changed, aiming for a drastic decline.
