The main idea of the article Youth Sports & Childhood Obesity written by By Kimberly A. Laux on May,2010(http://www.livestrong.com/article/120885-youth-sports-childhood-obesity/) is to inform the general public that youth sports can help decrease obesity. The authors view point is that doing sports can help stop obesity. This is a reliable source for the most part. The article has information about the author, which is helpful so we know that she is qualified to write an article on sports and obesity. It also had links and good pictures. Part of the reason why this article couldn’t be reliable is because it is kind of bias because it only has positive things about sports no cons. The articles text structure is cause and effect, the article shows what happens if you do sports and what happens when you don’t do sports. Also, the word choice of this article is slanted towards the authors view point, she uses words like improving, high academic achievers, increase, good etc. The article has bias but it helps form the main idea of the article.
I picked to write about sports because I have noticed the mass ammount of obesity in the USA!
