research topic

The topic that I am researching is High Prices on Healthy foods. Some of the problems that I already know about the topic are that many Americans go to fast foods because it is cheaper to feed their families. Even on the menus of fast food places the more healthy foods on the menu is more expensive then the not so healthy foods. Also the prices on heathly foods in the market have gone up causing many Americans to reduce buying healthy foods. Also because of the high prices many Americans are getting obese; and the ones that are hurting from it the most is the children. The stakeholders that are affected by this are, of course, the children, and low-income families.

Here are some of my research questions:

1. Why are the prices of healthy food going up?

2. How are the high prices on healthy food affecting children? Low-income families?

3. What can we do to help fix this problem?

I found one great resource in the school library database which is an article called "Can You Afford To Eat right?" Which covers the topics Food prices, Heath, and obesity. This article is very useful in helping me with my paper because it provides so many useful quotes to creditable people about the topic.
