Obesity research can take the perspective of academic or practitioner. Another way to focus research is on specific problems or areas. This assignment focuses on applying obesity research to a specific company or industry.

Prepare a PowerPoint presentation of 10–20 slides (excluding the introduction slide) looking at obesity and a food and beverage company. The following areas need to be addressed:

·         Look at the sustainability and corporate social responsibility report of a major food and beverage corporation. (Please choose a company you have not used for a previous IP assignment.) There are several suggestions in the reading list. 

·         Use the sustainability science framework to discuss how the corporation is or is not addressing obesity. 

·         What is it doing well, and where does it need to improve? 

·         What would you tell the CEO? 

·         What would you tell the head of the American Medical Association? 

·         What are the risks and opportunities that obesity brings?

·         Lastly, on 1 slide, briefly reflect on whether there is a link between your research (actual or proposed) and social justice.

The presentation should contain the following:

·         Notes should be written as if you were presenting these slides to the class, and should include appropriate citations as well.

·         These slide packs will become a great resource for each of you on the topics that are covered.

·         The final slide should include the questions that you still have about the topic.

·         Post the presentation to the Discussion Board.

In addition to submitting the assignment to this Individual Project, please also post your essay in the Discussion
