My topic is "Eating too much sugar is worse for children than for adults." I think my final persuasive essay will be related to health problems of children. I will focus on how the sugar addiction happens and why it is bad for their health.
What are my guiding questions?
*What questions are you curious about? What do you want to know? What questions do you think your reader will have?*
Why do people like sugar?
Why do children especially crave chocolate and candy?
From what kind of food do children get sugar?
What kind of diseases can chilldren have when they eat sweet tasting foods?
Should schools have soda and snack machines?
Should children allowed to eat soda or chocolate?
What are my current thoughts?
*What do you already know about your topic? What are your opinions? What do you want to persuade people of?*
I read in the book that people like sweets because sweets contain carbohydrate which is an essential element to our body. I heard that people biologically seek sweet tasting foods. However the amount of sugar people thesedays is enormous and it causes the health problem. Especially children are threated for health problems because starting eating too much sugar at an early age is dangerous.
What is the opposition?
The opponents say eating moderate quantity of sugar is not the cause of tooth decay or diseases but lack of brushing properly or eating the recommended amount of vegetables. They argue that chocolate and sweets aren't all bad if children are allowed no more then one sweet a day and then supervised when brushing. It acts as a positive reinforcement for children as well when rewarded with chocolate they strive to repeat the good behaviour so they can get the chocolate again it helps them to learn.
