3. Find a topic. You can write about body image. You can write about the obesity epidemic. You can write about fast food. You can write about diets. You can write about Barbie. Whatever the topic, make sure that food is part of the problem or solution. We will be writing a problem/solution paper.

5. Take a look at a problem/solution paper.
