About the author: My name is Kamrin Markwardt and I am currently attending Dakota High School. I created this website because it was my senior year project that helped demonstrate leadership in English 12 here at Dakota. This issue is important to me because in the U.S alone it is easy to see that obesity is taking over, and the consequences of it is hurting our country. Through this work i hope to make some sort of impact on people everywhere and inspire them to actively participate in the movement.
