Rebecca Evans end 1a 9-10 response to Jennifer’s Gonzales initial planning sheet
Jennifer provides adequate answers to the initial questions. I would suggest answering essay questions (in addition to ‘How does fair trade affect the artisan and the consumer?’): How has Priya Karim Haji, helped the immediate community and what has she gained? How has Priya Karim Haji grown from her childhood? Also I would aim your writing at college students as well as conscious consumers.
Your research is adequate I would suggest a few scholarly articles, magazine/newspaper articles and, possible some books.
Overall very good! Priya Karim Haji in am amazing woman.

Jason Bey commenting on Carla Poindexter's 1-10 planning sheet.
Carla answers most of the questions with very brief answers and I wasn't able to gain any insight into who or what Amy B is about so I would elaborate a little more. Now I'm curious who she is.

Intro:
“81% of 10 year olds are afraid of being fat and 91% of college students have taken unhealthy measures in an attempt to be thinner.” neda Connie Sobczak and The Body Positive are working to change these statistics by teaching self love and acceptance within the community of women. Connie Sobczak is a social entrepreneur, a woman making positive changes with a grass roots theme. She is inspired to fight the epidemic of self hate, body hate, and eating disorders. Sobczak herself was not immune to body dissatisfaction and self hatred; throughout her adolescence and early college years she developed the deadly eating disorder, Bulimia.
Eating disorders are directly defined as anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder and EDNOS (eating disorder not otherwise specified). There are criteria one must fall under to be diagnosed with any of the above however, any negative relationship with food, body or self is dangerous and an illness. As defined by the DSM-IV-TR, (diagnostic and statistical manual of metal disorders), “Anorexia is the refusal to maintain one’s body weight normal for their age and height, maintaining a body weight of <85%, less than deemed healthy, an intense fear of becoming fat, and in women the loss of one’s menstrual cycle. Bulimia is defined as recurring episodes of eating an amount of food larger than what most people would eat during a rapid pace of time, a lack of control over one’s behavior, and the compensatory behavior of eliminating the food through: self induced vomiting, misuse of laxatives, diuretics, or other mediations, fasting, or excessive exercise. Binge eating disorder encompasses the same behaviors of bulimia without behaviors to rid one of the food ingested. EDNOS is defined in many ways and is no less threatening or dangerous than anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating disorder. For female patients, all of the criteria for anorexia nervosa are met except that the patient has regular menses. Another branch is for the patients to meet all of the criteria for anorexia nervosa except that, despite significant weight loss, the patient's current weight is in the normal range. A bulimic branch encompasses patients who meet the criteria for bulimia but the binge eating and inappropriate compensatory mechanisms occur less than twice a week or for less than 3 months. Another form of EDNOS is when the patient has a normal body weight but regularly uses inappropriate compensatory behaviors after eating small amounts of food. A less common, but still prevalent eating disorder is chew and spit which is comprised of repeated chewing and spitting out, but not swallowing of large amounts of food.
Connie is aware of these deathly diagnoses and equates much of her sturrlgel to the time in which she grew up. Sobczak grew up in the 1970’s during the second wave of feminism when women were attempting to control their bodies to fit into molds like men, in hopes of obtaining higher positions and status. The “fat-free” fad entered in the early 1980’s in an attempt to combat heart disease and rising obesity. The cause of these illnesses however was not an influx of fat but an influx of ignorance to listening to one’s body. After the birth of her daughter, Sobczak lost her older sister to bulimia. She decided that she must take action against the body and self hatred taught and inherited by women. Eating disorders were becoming an epidemic and the key to healing began with self love. Out of the dust Sobczak began working with friend and school psychotherapist, Elizabeth Scott to develop the Body Positive. Sobczak sees the hatred women hold as a disease that physically and emotionally cripples and disables them. A simple trip to the grocery store is no longer safe. One is bombarded with weight loss items, low fat options and hundreds of magazines pushing the latest diet craze, slim star, or overweight celebrity. Connie is a full time leader toward body and self satisfaction. She tours schools, conferences, and treatment centers spreading knowledge and insight on the importance of self love. Although eating disorders are on the rise, Connie Sobczak’s program The Body Positive is promoting change and producing leaders, because of her dedication and the positive change she has witnessed among young women.
Conclusion
Sobczak remains hopeful in her battle against eating, body, and self-esteem issues. With limited government funding Sobczak not only struggles against the media and false interpretations but also with the financial sector. Government funding is allocated to, “For the 10 million suffers of eating disorders only $12,000,000 is allocated toward research and treatment while the 4.5 million suffers of Alzheimer’s receive $647,000,000, and the 2.2 million suffers of Schizophrenia receive $350,000,000.” Neda Eating disorders are the deadliest physiological disease, killing thousands annually. Connie stays motivated by seeing the progress made by the leaders of the Body Positive. Since the start of the Body Positive, fourteen years ago, the first women are now in their late twenties and have gone on to change their communities. Numerous members of the Body Positive have graduated college with psychological degrees, others have gone into holistic healing, and others into community activism. She has changed lives and seen recovery. With her own daughter she perhaps witnessed the most fervent change. While Connie never directly taught or lectured her daughter on body and self love, through osmosis and mirroring positive role models she learned through observation and integration. Sobczak’s daughter mingled with the positive actions and feelings of women around her. Instances of talking against diets, eating when hungry and stopping when full, exercising for friends, fitness and fun, and using one’s time to volunteer, enjoy nature, or educating the mind. Connie Sobczak is continuing her work with the Body Positive by putting out two new movies for adults on body image, expanding the website, and traveling to numerous conferences throughout the United States offering tips and trainings on teaching self love and acceptance. There is hope for self love and in turn love and respect for the earth and all its beings.

Intro to research paper
Ugh! Baloney with soggy bread again! Well not in the bay area school systems, thanks to Revolution Foods. Revolutions Foods was founded by two mothers Kristin Richmond and Kristen Tobey.
Thesis
Although food in public school systems is not healthy, Richmond and Tobey have devised an organization that provides fresh and nutritious food to many schools in the bay area; by getting involved with the community, partnering with different food companies, and creating educational programs, because of the horrible conditions of the school cafeteria meals.
