Obesity is a big problem in the US, more than two- thirds of the U.S adults are obese. It has been a vary big problem ever since the 1970s. The cause is unknown, some say it is cause by depression, some say by stress. It has also affected newcomers to the country, research shows that immigrants are more likely to become obese than of an average American. So as an immigrant gets used to the American diet then he or she might become more obese than the average American child. Some organizations like the Campaign to End Obesity(CEO) try to help and solve these problems but i think there are other solutions to the problem.

It will have a character eating some sort of fast food that will make your character fat. I am creating a game because it can probably raise awareness of obesity.
 * **//<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">"Obesity in America is the cause of over 100,00-400,000 of deaths in the America every year" //**
 * //**<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">"Obesity considered a Disability" **//
 * //**<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">"The deaths caused by Obesity cost more than $117 billion, which is more than deaths caused by smoking and drinking." **//
 * //**<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">" Schools all over the U.S have banned foods such as potato chips,Vending machines,etc. and replaced them with foods like baked potato chips or baked snack or low fat foods.Examples of low fat drinks and foods are whole wheat sandwiches and 2% low-fat milk." **//
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">**"Obesity can also cause memory loss, there was a test done by Dr.Diana Kerwin which has proven this fact."** //
 * **//<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">The Top Fast Food Restaurant in America is the Subway above McDonalds, people always go their because they think the food is fresh because most stars like Lebron James or some other athletes go there saying its fresh. //**
 * **//<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">One of the leading causes of death that can be prevents. //**
 * **//<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Smoking causes weight loss and not as many Americans are smoking like they used to. //**
 * **//<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS,cursive;">Doctors suggest prescriptions to other patients like steroids,diabetes etc. These drugs do not decrease obesity they make the patient gain weight. //**

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">I had chosen this design for my final product because it had all the things I was looking forward to. It had a boss fight, a goal, and a princess to save. It also had things like power-ups and enemies to defeat. I had also chosen this because it has an adventure, and meets most of the design specifications.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">I do not think this design is the best for my final design because there are no sound effects or music. I did not like this design as much because it didn't have a goal or any enemies. There was no boss battles or a princess to rescue, which is something I really want to make. I thought about making this plan because it had "lives" and you can only get around 3 tries until you start all over again. ====== = = =**__<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 150%;">Create __**=

=**__<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 160%;">Evaluate __**= <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">My product did not work and did not give a message about obesity and what it can do to your body. I think that if I had known how to use Scratch 1.4, I would have done a better job. This product was also not the best because the idea wasn't thought trough, there was no background music and there was no moving background. I had tried to fix it, but had no luck, every time I had tried to fix the problem the game would glitch and would not be playable. There was also no boss fight in my final product, overall this product did not meet my Design Specifications. I also thought if I had followed through with my deadlines I would have fixed these bugs.
