Reflecting on the impacts of diet plans
Science has a role to play in innovating new techniques for addressing
people’s needs for different diet plans for purposes like losing weight,
gaining weight, lowering cholesterol, living a long and healthful life,
and many other reasons. However, some of those diet plans are still
being tested and developed. Would it be justified to use diet plans,
being one of those innovative techniques?
You are the head of an international organization and will write a
900-1100-words essay where you will explain this issue as well as the
role science is playing at addressing this issue. You will also need to
discuss and evaluate the implications of the use of different diet plans
and their application to tackle this issue we are facing. In order to
reach the highest-level descriptors, you also need to apply
communication modes effectively and completely document the work
of others using the APA convention. (Refer to your APA citation guide
NOT TO citation machines)
