i need a discussion post need this to be done please, with simple words, also don’t use any lA to do this assigment because my professor uses detectors for that, I choose this topic, you have to whatch the links and read the screen shoots from the boock that I will attach
This discussion forum is a slight departure from strictly science behind the food, though incorporates the science we have been/are learning. Food and diet is impacted/influenced broadly. How IS diet (what we eat) impacted based on food availability (food security versus food insecurity), fad diets, and on health disparities in the U.S. Food security has long been considered among the important social factors that can help determine health outcomes. According to a U.S. Department of Agriculture report released in October, nearly 13% of U.S. households – or 17 million households – were food insecure in 2022 (Source, 2024). Let’s keep this discussion focused on food insecurity, food availability (those foods we choose and/or have been available (food systems), diets, and our overall relationship to food. Though globally the world strives toward the common goal of good nutritious food available to all, and the world is interconnected, the topic is too large to tackle here from a global standpoint. I don’t mean for this forum to become overly political (though politics & policy is part of the challenge to food availability, diets, and food industry itself). Keep the focus on what we have, how things are, and/or will face in the United States.

Food Insecurity as a risk factor for obesity: A review
The rise in obesity and other forms of malnutrition could partly be a result of moderate FI [food insecurity]. Highly energy-dense processed foods that are high in saturated fats, sugars, and sodium are consumed more often than micronutrient-dense quality foods. Energy-dense foods may help meet daily caloric requirements, but essential nutrients are missing. Therefore, in many countries, undernutrition and obesity coexist and both can be consequences of FI.

The most important step for anyone looking to make better food choices is to know what
they are currently eating. For this assignment, you will be completing a detailed 3-day
food journal.
Instructions:
• Using the Word document attached to this assignment, complete the 3-day food
journal.
o Include one weekend day in your journal.
o Record the days that most closely reflect your normal eating habits.
o Include how foods are prepared (baked, fried, steamed, etc.) and brand
names when possible.
o Include everything that you consume (food, beverages, and water).
 Remember to include fats used in cooking and any spreads,
sauces and condiments added.
 The amount should be recorded in measurable terms such as
grams, cups, ounces, teaspoons, tablespoons, etc.
o Be sure to record all of the components of the food eaten (for example, a
hamburger has a meat patty, bun, condiments).
o Record the time of day that the food was eaten and whether it was a part
of your breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack.
• After you have completed your food journal, answer the following questions in a
Word document:
o Keeping a dietary journal can have both positive and negative effects.
Explain two of each.
o Did you experience any emotional eating during your three-day
journaling? Please explain. If you did not experience emotional eating,
please research and describe the impact that one’s emotional state e on could
have on food

The assignment is asking to write a narrative essay about an experience. it can be about anything just stay on the same topic.

Purpose: Successful completion of this assignment provides evidence of competency in two learning domains: examining/interpreting (GEC 6) and evaluating/critically analyzing (GEC3) scientific material that is relevant to this course.
Format: Your paper is to be divided into the following sections:
Introduction – Provide an overview of the condition, including relevant statistics and evidence. For example, how many persons are affected? How many new cases are there each year? Which factors put persons at risk? What is the global impact? Is the incidence of this disorder increasing or decreasing?
Analysis – Most of your information will be presented in this section. You are expected to be thorough yet concise, and to provide evidence of critical analysis. For example, when you explain a disease or condition, include information that describes what is happening at the molecular, cellular, and tissue levels, using your own words. Avoid using quotations as substitutes for material that you do not understand. Do not make statements that are common knowledge.
Be sure to include the following:
A thorough explanation of the condition, including causes, signs, symptoms, and complications. Is it linked to other disorders?
Treatment and prevention. Provide evidence and perhaps some case studies, and be current!
Dietary recommendations: This requires critical evaluation of scientific evidence and objectivity. Avoid making claims that have little or no credible evidence to support them, and be careful not to confuse a recommendation with a “cure”. Also, do not confuse the deficiency of a given nutrient as the “cause” of a disorder unless you can provide scientific proof.
The research paper should be written in the APA style, between 4-6 pages long, double-spaced, not inclusive of the title page and reference page. Use Times New Roman 12pt font. For help with the APA style, utilize Academic Writer.

As future leaders in the health and wellness fields, you will be asked to make decisions regarding the efficacy and safety of dietary supplements, weight loss programs, fad diets, and ergogenic aids (performance enhancing substances).  This is no small task given that we are constantly inundated with written, oral, and web-based nutritional information claiming to be the next great panacea.  Being experts your field, it is important that you are able to identify legitimate, factual claims from snake oil (false claims, promising quick results/remedies). Thus, the purpose of this paper to utilize our acquired knowledge and scientific literature to assess nutrition related claims in an objective manner. 
There are a few approaches you can take for this paper:
1)     You can choose a nutrition related article from a fitness/health magazine, or online resource, which advocates the use of a supplement or weight loss program or fad diet or ergogenic aid, then summarize the main points that the article is making on benefits/effectiveness of it use.  Subsequently, you will need to analyze the claims that the product or practice is making by utilizing scientific research which supports of disputes these claims. (Please include the article attached to your paper).
2)     You can identify a popular supplement or weight loss program or fad diet or ergogenic aid, then present the claims that the product or practice make as to the benefits/effectiveness of its use.  Subsequently, you will need to analyze the claims that the product or practice is making by utilizing scientific research which supports of disputes these claims.
There are lots of claims being made, find research that support or disprove the claims being made.  If you don’t have scientific research, all we have are opinions and have resolved nothing.
The paper should include and the things I will be looking for are as follows:
1.     Introduction (20 points)
a.     Identify the topic that is being addressed.
i.     The topic should be concise, given the brevity of the paper (~2 pages).  
1.     Attach the article if you are analyzing an article
b.     Provide a brief overview of the background to the topic that is analyzed in the paper.
i.     What claims are being made?
ii.     By what mechanism does it work?
iii.     What is the dosing regimen (i.e. how much how often)?
iv.     Who is the target audience?
2.     Body of the Paper (40 points)
a.     Use relevant research to take a position or provide information on the topic that you are addressing.  
i.     Relevant research means that you are citing peer reviewed journal articles in your quest for knowledge (not magazine or newspaper articles, etc.).     
ii.     Relevant research means that the studies are generalizable to the topic that you are addressing.
1.     The search engine pubmed and pubmed tutorial (refer to assignment instructions – helpful resources) will be of assistance in finding relevant research articles. 
b.     Discuss your topic thoroughly and if applicable your position adequately.
i.     In several paragraphs, address each claim and whether or not there is scientific information to support or refute these claims. 
ii.     Make sure that all statements are thoroughly explained.  As I read your paper, I will ask the question, why?  As such, when you proofread your paper look for statements that are not adequately explained and cannot answer why.  
iii.     Are there any possible side effects?
iv.     Provide suggestions for future research, if applicable.
3.     Summary (20 points)
a.     Summarize your paper and draw your conclusion(s) in a clear and concise manner.
i.     Do you recommend this supplement or weight loss program or fad diet or ergogenic aid and why or why not?
4.     Format of the Paper (20 points)
a.     Title Page
i.     Course title and number.
ii.     Title of paper
iii.     Name   
iv.     Date
b.     Paper:
