Outline Shmoutline

This outline really helped me a lot. At first I was all "damn it I hate outlines" but after doing it, I actually came up with a few more angles and ideas for my paper. Outlines, as much as I hate them are very very helpful when it comes to organization. It is like drawing up a map that you never think your going to use but you always end up using and if you don't make a map you're always wishing you had. I came up a great idea for broadening yet also narrowing my topic at the same time. Aha, many of you are going to say, "that's impossible!" but no, it isn't. Oh how anything is possible in the world of English. I don't actually know if that's true but it sounds nice doesn't it? Anyway, this super cool idea I had is this: instead of just talking about cooking oils effects on the body I can use the food pyramid as a guide. I would love to break down each step of the food pyramid and propose how each section can be enjoyed while also conquering obesity. This way, I can talk about cooking oils, making your food look good, grains, dairy, fruits, veggies, and even sugar! Because we all know how much we love our sugar. I've also finally come to a conclusion on my audience. I've decided to target families with children. Every parent is concerned about keeping their family healthy and happy so my essay will effect them directly and be a helpful guide. Plus, I can now include my piece on obesity in children and talk a little bit about exercise without being all over the place and unorganized. Yes! I get to have my cake and eat it too! (portioned of course.) I cant believe that I am actually ready to start finishing this baby up. I never thought that day would come. ha ha....just kidding. But seriously.
