nutrition wellness

For this project you will select one particular wellness/diet trend or nutrition-based lifestyle/topic, and study the “genealogy” of that phenomenon as it moves through various audiences and genres. How are different spaces discussing this topic and why? How does the conversation change? How does it differ from and/or reflect the scientific research?
For this assignment please find a minimum of four different texts that all relate to the same topic you’ve chosen. Your sources should have no more than two of the same genre in any analysis (e.g., no more than two Tweets, or research articles, etc.).

Inclusion of at least five related sources, as described above.
A written and visual representation of each source. The visual representation is most likely to be a screen shot, though you are welcome to include web links as well or recorded video clips. For the textual description, you should consider describing the source in such a way that that the author and context is fully clear, e.g., “Dina Smith is a geneticist at Harvard and she published an article on her research about mice brains entitled ‘Mice Brains and DNA…’ etc.”. You don’t need a formal citation in the body of the presentation, though you will need them in the references (see below)
A central claim or “takeaway” about how or whether the information has shifted across sources (e.g., the information was distorted or simplified; the findings were clearly portrayed and remained faithful to the original claims; the findings became more emotional or contested, etc.)
Written analysis that amounts to a minimum of about 1200 words (if these words are spoken, please include a transcript). It is perfectly appropriate if chunks of text are broken up by images, external links, or other media. Your analysis should be rhetorical in nature—feel free to to attend to the ways that particular vocabulary, titles, images, and tone shift across the translations.
A list of references at the end of the presentation, properly formatted according to APA format (Links to an external site.) (use the menu on the left for info on formatting different kinds of sources: journal articles, web sites, etc.)
