While drafting im struggling to really pull this piece together. I have a completed introduction and all of the quotes I intend on using from all of my sources, I just dont know where to begin with placement and really composing this piece. Having to tie together so many sources is intimidating to me. A poor second draft in my opinion, although the final draft will come together.

When I started writing this paper I didn’t realize how much I didn’t know about obesity. The information I researched helped me achieve the questions that I had and furthermore made me realize how many people do really suffer with obesity. Sometimes I wondered about things that I had experienced and wondered if others had the same happenings in their lives and of course the answer is yes. The HBO documentary ended up having important information, without it I dont think the paper would have much about food and the manufacturers problems with marketing and etc. I really enjoyed writing this paper and hope that it was informative as it was informative to me . Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy.

All these topics are meant to inform so that veterans have an easier time with coming back to the civilian life. Benefits include GI bill, VA and pension.
