2. OUR WORLD PROJECT  This project is Our World Project in Math and we worked on it in English as well.  The subject I am doing is Obesity problems in the U.S.A.  I am comparing my results to Mexico, Brazil and Canada.  I have to persuade the United Nations to give me money to help this problem.

3. OBESITY?  The definition of obesity is when someone or something is over the amount of a certain weight. Obesity is determined by your weight, height, age, and gender. Also it means that you have more fat then necessary. If you want to see a Internet definition click HERE.HERE It may take a little bit of time so just wait.

17. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?  If 23% of Canadian adults are obese or overweight and 33% of adult Americans are obese or overweight this means that there is a 7% difference.  If 69.5% of Mexican adults are obese or overweight and 33% of American adults are obese or overweight this means that there is a difference of 36% difference and this means that Mexico is having more problems.  40%of Brazilians are obese and 67.2 Americans obese that means that theres is a 37% difference. (This is not out of 100%)

18. WHAT I THINK.  United Nations as you can see America and other countries need help.  I hope you can see this and you understand what I am trying to say.  I feel bad for those who have relatives, friends, brothers, and sisters who are obese or overweight.  I hope we can change many things in the next few years.
