5. Chapter 19: English Paper Topic

This isn't going to be an entertaining story :) But it could lead to an A paper, which would lead to me getting a good grade in this class, which would lead to me celebrating, which inevitably---because I am who I am--- lead to a very exciting, very entertaining story!

My Research Topic has to do with Metabolism and genetics.

How much is the ability for people to gain and lose weight (metabolism) a genetic factor? Do people have natural tendencies to be fat or overweight?

I would approach it from the science level (obviously), but I really do want to know once and for all: are you destined to be fat or skinny? Are my children doomed to be fat because my great Greek Grandmother weighed 200 pounds? Or is it the fact that my great Italian Grandmother always had homemade spaghetti sauce on the stove with fresh homemade bread to dip in it available at all times that we just have learned to eat fattening, yet tasty food?

It is something to think about huh? :)
