In his community profile, Derick took on a "growing" problem in our society. In a recent 2014 survey, 40 percent of all U.S. adults were deemed obese. That number was up 40 percent from the previous survey taken two years earlier. Derick's research paper explores a cause and effect relationship between obesity and major health problems such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Here he points out what he thinks may be a root to the problem: media overload. We see these images everywhere.

In this first section of Friends of the Earth,
students take the time to introduce themselves through their reading.
Instead of the brief mention of their hobbies and pets, they reflect on
a memorable literary experience. You might not judge a book by its cover, but here we learn
what is often hidden inside of others.
