Sources of topic

My topic for this paper is childhood obesity. The research itself was relatively easy, there are many many sources on the subject, especially academic and medical journals. I was able to find many varying stances on the subject, from one article attesting to the effects and medical complications and varying problems that are included in childhood obesity, to an article claiming that the media uses childhood obesity and throw medical jargon at us to essentially "frame" the subject and reflecting it in such a tone and a light that we feel negatively towards it almost instantaneously. I didn't have to sift through too many sources, it was relatively easy to find the ones i needed.
