(2007) state that policies aimed at promoting nutritional awareness in schools and about local healthy food choices would influence the food choices that people make within their own homes, possibly leading to better health outcomes. Past studies on obesity in Missouri have identified obesity risk factors and nutritional deficiencies in populations of inner city youth, rural elderly, rural poverty-stricken, and rural youth (Kohrs

These factors are found in environments that promote unhealthful eating, lack of exercise, and hence promote weight gain (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2010). Environmental factors can include fast food restaurants, convenience stores, 'food deserts', office environments that encourage sitting, environments with dishes of candy (often found on desks), and those with vending machines selling non-healthy food choices, schools with a lack of nutritional guidelines and an underdeveloped physical activity program, and things of a similar nature (Lake, Townshend, & Alvanides, 2010)
Nutritional choices among the rural may be limited due to the concept of the 'food desert.' A food desert refers to an area where healthy food choices are restricted, possibly due to geographic isolation such as is found with rural areas (Morton & Blanchard, 2007)

However, approximately 75% of the nation's population resides in the urban and suburban areas (Howarth, 1996). The prevalence of obesity in urban/suburban areas is lower than in rural areas, suggesting other variables are at work in the continued rise in obesity among rural populations, including those in Missouri (Patterson, Moore, Probst, & Shinogle, 2004)
The Surgeon General has stated that obesity is an epidemic of which the United States is attempting to address through various strategies, including the establishment of a Research Obesity Taskforce by the National Institutes of Health (United States Mission Geneva, 2010). Obesity is typically addressed through diet and exercise, though once secondary conditions have set in such as diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer, the plan of care and treatment will likely look drastically different than one in which only nutrition and physical activity are included (Perri, et al
Obesity is associated with income level, and people in rural areas are typically of a low-income status (Jackson, Doescher, Jerant, & Hart, 2006). Additionally, women are at greater risk of obesity than men, and obese women are more likely to have an increased risk of birth defects over their non-obese counterparts (Salihu, Dunlop, Hedayatzadeh, Alio, Kirby, & Alexander, 2007)
Using a concomitant model based on the ANGELO analysis matrix would be especially useful in eliciting environmental obesogenic factors that may be barriers to success of nutrition and overweight best practice models. The ANGELO model is a conceptual framework for understanding the obesogenic factors in an environment and a tool for developing intervention models as well (Swinburn, Egger, & Raza, 1999)
Food deserts in Missouri are not an easy fix; while Missouri policy makers engage in identification of at-risk rural populations for obesity, they have yet to determine how best to get the resources that rural Missourians need to effectively turn the tide on obesity. The Federal Food Stamp Program is aimed at improving nutritional equality among low income Americans, yet the foods provided for in the program often contain artificial sweeteners, and high calorie and low energy matrixes; the flip side is that substitutions for healthier food choices are not allowed under the program (Ver Ploeg, Mancino, & Lin, 2006)
(2007) showed that extreme obesity among Missourians was linked to stillbirth, and was not limited to ethnicity. Indeed, obesity is associated with both cognitive impairment of the offspring due to elevated circulating triglycerides, as well as being associated with overall increased risk for birth defects (Watkins, Rasmussen, Honein, Botto, & Moore, 2003)
Such a check sheet might contain these questions. For instance, geographically, does it make the majority of its sales, produce its product, and get its raw materials from the United States or abroad? What is its record abroad -- how long has it been in a particular market and how has it performed there? Does its products transcend cultural boundaries? Has the company adjusted for current effects of currency changes in its immediate past? Were these adjustments successful? Where is cash being kept -- in foreign markets? Or are they kept domestically and taxed? Is the company paid in dollars and local currency?"

Sytsma, the quality-control processes of histograms, cause and effect diagrams, and check sheets can and are frequently used to aid in any kind of process, but particularly in regards to organizational quality control in the corporate world. (Manely & Sytsma, 1999) These quality control procedures are particularly useful in business, when properly deployed because they can help managers to 'crunch' incomprehensibly varied or difficult data more understandable and deploy such data when creating a linear, forward-thinking strategy for their organization
How did the January 2010 earthquake come into play? According to the World Systems Theory, the position that the country of Haiti holds is that of a periphery nation. This means that they not only have a weak economy, they also have a weak government and is less industrialized (Halsall)
Tlapa means powder snow, while kayi means drifting snow. Tlaslo is snow that falls slowly, while tlapinti is snow that falls rapidly (James)
The first type of dating is relative dating. This allows the archeologist to determine the age of the artifact by comparing it to others (Lamoureux)
A linguistic anthropologist may apply the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis to the study of the Hopi language by associating this concept to their understanding of time. The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis emphasizes that language is what determines thought and that the way that individuals learn how to speak to each other and what words to use in doing so is heavily dependent on the culture that they were brought up in (Parr-Davies)
