Requirements

In this scenario you have been hired by the President of the United States of America to provide health policy recommendations. Currently there is a great debate about if we should outlaw super sized soft drinks or legalize marijuana. You need to research both options, decide which one you recommend and create a PowerPoint presentation presenting and justifying your recommendation.

The presentation should be visually appealing, geared toward a non-health professional audience and should include the following sections:

A cover slide with your name and presentation title (1 slide)

An overview of both issues from a health perspective including scientifically proven health pros and cons (3-6 slides)

Specific health information for each issue as it relates to obesity rates (2 slides, one for each topic)

An overview of both issues from an economic perspective (4-6 slides)

An overview of both issues from an ethical perspective (4-6 slides)

An overview of both issues from a political perspective (4-6 slides)

Your recommendation regarding which one to pursue for policy implementation and an explanation why (2-4 slides)

Reference list

Each slide should have a clear title indicating the focus of the slide.
