Class 010 - What is my poster about?

Ok so for my poster I have picked my topic to be Obesity, and I have picked my narrowed focus to be:
Is Junk food really cheaper in the long run?
Studies have shown and continue to be shown that junk food eaten frequently overtime leads to obesity, high cholesterol, heart issues, diabetes, and an over all diminished quality off life. Taking thus these factors into consideration over fast food places which tout cheap but affordable food, I ask is it really cheaper if you factor in future medical bills and a usually much poorer quality of life.

This is a major issue in the Western world today as 1 in 3 people are considered to be overweight and a whopping 15% considered to be obese. On top of this all of the issues related above, are all on the rise at a very high rate of rise. This is concerning to say the least.

My poster will aim to change the perception of what really is cheap, and is aimed at people who choose their foods and snacks, at university and high school students who buy their lunches, and at parents who usually pay for their children's food as well as their own.

This poster could really be placed everywhere from schools to grocery stores to anywhere in the city. It is relevant and necessary to change our perceptions.
