Dear Senator Durbin.
My name is Jose. I am a student at Rosa Parks Middle School in Illinois. I am writing to you because
I'm concerned about health and nutrition. Because many people die of many diseases due to unhealthy
diets I wanted to let you know about the many things we have been learning about health and nutrition.
Knowing about health and nutrition is important because this information lets people know that
they are doing something good in their life. This knowledge can also help people who are unhealthy become
healthier. We should create more community gardens to help out the people who need to go on a diet or
lose fat, which is something we are trying to do here at Rosa Parks. Research shows that obesity will be a
big problem in the future if we don’t do something about it.
These are some things that people with obesity can get:
∘Increase blood pressure
∘Can cause strokes
∘Can get heart disease
∘Cancer
If you can, please use your influence to support health and nutrition and share ideas to people
about the many things health and nutrition can do to help people.
Thank you for taking your time to read my letter.
Sincerely,
Jose

Dear Senator Durbin,
My name is Fatima. I am a student at Rosa L. Parks in Dixmoor,IL. Right now we
are studying about health and nutrition. I am writing to you because I am concerned
about health and nutrition in our community. My Issue is important because sugar hurts
bodies and people don’t know about health and nutrition. Also, people are getting sick
because of food. We should let people know sugar is affecting people because food is
making people sick. Research shows that female mice who ate too much sugar died
twice as quickly as regular mice. This shows that people consuming too much food will
be a big problem in the future if we do not do something about it soon. Also every kid I
see in my school barely eats any healthy food. Sugar consumption is strongly
associated with some of the world’s leading killers, including heart disease, diabetes,
obesity and cancer. Please use your influence to support health and nutrition, especially
for our community. Thank you for your consideration and please feel free to contact me
if you would like to discuss this issue further.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and do something about health and
nutrition.
