My audience will appeal to those interested in changing their diet. Most who eat healthy understand the (good and bad) affects food has on our bodies and moods but those who are wanting change will be searching for answers. The answers they find in their research will lead them to either changing their eating habits or keeping their current eating habits. Another possible reader could be health professionals. These health professionals may be looking into finding research and opinions of everyday people and other experts.
My topic is timely because of America's great lack of maintaining health as a whole. Today so many suffer from mental and physical illnesses. If we can find a way to lower these high statistics then we can have a better quality of life.
I care about my topic because of my recent change in eating habits. I have began to eat less fried foods and more greens. I am curious as to if our food selection will make us feel and act better. High school teachers taught me to write objectively so that when others read my writing, they can form their own opinions based off of the facts I have presented. Being able to look at things objectively and rationally is important to learn in order to make wise choices.
Some different viewpoints I see are:
-food doesn't affect moods, it is only made up in our minds
-food controls our moods completely
-food affects the chemicals released in our brians
One thing I learned about my topic is how the brain releases chemicals and neurotransmitters in our brains. I think this is interesting and gives reasoning behind why certain emotions occur. I have also learned that I need to research into many other perspectives and point of views of my topic.
I commented on Lisa Grosselius' blog about weather.
