From the Paper
"When one decides to invest in setting up a business, some people choose to create a restaurant. However, even from the beginning, if they do not have a clear view of what they really want, and just decide to create it and see how it is going, one might realize that it is a highly risky decision. For once, you do not know what profile your restaurant works better for a certain location. So, what should you do? How should you choose? Should one pick the location and then decide on the profile? Or maybe it should be the other way around?"

The paper blames an imbalance of intake versus energy expenditure, as well as a lack of knowledge surrounding healthy life habits.
From the Paper
"The national media reports that obesity is epidemic, not only in the United States but in other developed countries as well. For example, in mainland China, 16.7% of male participants were considered to be overweight according to a Body Mass Index (BMI between 25 and 29.9. Additionally, another 2.4% were felt to be obese based on a BMI greater than or equal to 30 (International Obesity Task Force, 2007). Culture has been seen to play a significant role in perception of obesity across all ethnicities."

Abstract
This paper explains that the obesity epidemic in America can be traced as far back as infancy nutrition. The author urges that a healthy eating teaching plan, including a scheduled daily interactive "meal" time when children are encouraged to explore many nutritious options, should be part of each school day including preschool. The paper suggest that, in this manner, children will be able to use their natural play and creativity instincts to make healthy eating choices.
From the Paper
"The ability of daycare providers to offer to children healthy options on a frequent and rotating schedule, especially finger foods that are colorful and tasty and are shown by example to be easy to eat and good tasting, as they watch their other daycare friends eat such options. The teacher should offer the food, family style, in much the same way that art supplies are placed in the center of the table, appealingly and for everyone to take turns with."

Abstract
In this article, the writer first defines vegetarianism and notes that today, a vegetarian diet is one that contains little or no animal products. The writer discusses whether or not vegetarianism is worthwhile and maintains that vegetarianism is a truly healthy option but it is still a matter of choice. The important thing though is that going vegetarian or not going vegetarian should be an individual's choice and not rammed down one's throat. The writer concludes that as long as one is not stepping on another's toes, then "to veg" could indeed be the smart choice especially in this day and age where diseases of all sorts abound.
From the Paper
"When vegetarianism was starting to make headways in the United States, a lot of people construed it with religious practice especially those belonging to Buddhist, Hare Krishna or Hindu faith. That was the contemporary thinking then but now, vegetarianism has evolved from a matter of faith to a matter of health. Although none of my family members are vegetarians, I have several friends who have taken the practice and the jury is still not out though on how effective it really is or whether it is really a good and "normal" health habit. The strict definition of vegetarianism is diet consisting only of fruits and vegetables - no meat or animal by-products whatsoever."

Abstract
The paper discusses Chinese ideas about health, food, and medicine and explains that Chinese ideas about health, food and medicine are not distinct aspects but rather interrelated ones that serve to promote harmony and temper the senses. The paper explains five influences that the Chinese idea of health care is based on, describes Chinese cooking and refers to the practice of acupuncture. The paper relates that healing, health care and health management with the Chinese should be a holistic approach that serves to understand the culture as well as promote well-being without being biased against the beliefs and values.
From the Paper
"When people hear the word "China" the first thing that comes to mind is a vast country in the Orient filled with wonder and exotic attributes - that was until globalization set put as a major player in the everyday lives of countries and peoples. Now China is known for cheap manufacturing and labor, Dao Ming, Jet Li or Jackie Chan. China is also known as a communist nation with heavy capitalist leaning and this is more apparent as a result of various American companies outsourcing its manufacturing and production facilities there. Despite the supposedly modernized economy of China, they still have their strong values, beliefs and culture. This is also evident when in comes to their beliefs in birth, death, diseases and health in general."

Abstract
The paper examines the article "Objectively Measured Physical Activity and Fat Mass in a Large Cohort of Children" that defines a proposed research study that would explore the association between physical activity and obesity in children. The paper explains that the study proposed in the article will determine the type(s) of physical activity that are most likely to be associated with a lean body mass as compared to an obese body mass. The paper explains further that this study will attempt to discern whether one of the causes of obesity is the lack of physical activity or whether eating more leads to a greater lack of physical activity.
From the Paper
"Many experts have acknowledged the fact that lack of physical activity in the lives of obese children could be a major factor in their condition. This study will attempt to further define exactly what type of physical activity is most likely to lead to lean body mass in children. Previous studies have had difficulty in providing this specific information, and in fact defining obesity itself is a rather difficult task as well, since, "as a person of above-average height may be 'carrying' a lot of fat or a lot of muscle." (Ness et al 2007 pg 484)"

Outline:
Problem Statement
Target Population
Problem Analysis: Incidence, Prevalence and Etiology
Theories and Research that Address the Problem
Services Available to Address the Problem
Program Hypothesis
From the Paper
"Statistically the increase of the overall female population that is overweight or obese has increased since 1997 from 15% -20% and have increased by the largest degree among Latina women, 19% (1997) -27% (2005). Looking at the statistics the reasons that this is happening has a great deal to do with the level of activity as well as diet, among those in the at risk population who frequently report eating fewer than the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables as well as self-report being minimally active or inactive on a regular basis."

Abstract
This paper discusses the relationship between eating breakfast and school performance. It discusses how bodily health affects the attention span of students and the negative effects that being hungry has on students and their academic performance. The paper analyzes the literature in order to gain a complete understanding of the issues involved.
Table of Contents:
Article 1
Article 2
Article 3
Article 4
Article 5
Article 6
From the Paper
"The present survey indicated that Australian students skipped breakfast more on the basis of gender than income (Shaw 1998). Female students did so thrice as much as male students did. It would, then, seem to be the product of personal choice rather than by socioeconomic level. Gender and cultural values would also influence that personal choice. This should engage the attention and priority of policymakers and health authorities. The skipping breakfast phenomenon should be seen as a result of poverty as well as a gender issue. Feeding programs will not help those who skip breakfast for vanity reasons. Teaching students the importance of eating breakfast can decrease or discourage the habit. Instead, they should b taught how to build self-esteem and healthful ways of controlling weight. Nonetheless, these students cannot be easily separated or warned against their prevailing social and cultural environment in the attempt to develop the new attitude. Further longitudinal investigations, involving the use of a variety of methods, should be conducted to cover other, but equally, significant areas (Shaw)."

Treating Obesity, 2008.
Reviews an article by M.T Cabio lu and Neyhan Ergene, 'Changes in Level of Serum Insulin, C-Peptide and Glucose after Electro-Acupuncture (EA) and Diet Therapy in Obese Women' from the 2006 "The American Journal of Chinese Medicine".

Abstract
This paper explains that the problem, which the researcher M.T Cabio lu and Neyhan Ergene addressed in their article reported in "The American Journal of Chinese Medicine", was to determine whether electro-acupuncture (EA) had anything to do with weight loss as associated with C-peptide, glucose and serum insulin levels in women. The paper states that the researchers specifically did not address the theoretical framework for their study and indicates that, as the researchers believed would be the outcomes, there is a correlation between EA, diet restrictions, and weight loss as well as a correlation between EA and the blood markers for obesity.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Problem/Purpose
Literature Review
Study Framework or Theoretical Perspective
Research Objectives, Questions, and Hypotheses
List Attribute/Demographic Variables
Sample/Setting
Research Design
Measurement Methods and Tools
Procedures
Statistical Analysis
Researchers' Interpretation of the Findings
Generalization of the Findings
Implications of the Findings for Nursing
Suggestions for Further Study
From the Paper
"For nursing, there are few implications for EA. Usually, this is performed by acupuncturists who are trained in this field. However, nurses could be trained to perform this and other weight loss treatments that are not as commonly seen in Western medicine, so that they could further benefit the people that they help on a daily basis.
"The researchers do indicate that further study should be undertaken, especially where diabetes is concerned."
