How do peers influence students foods selection?: An Annotated Bib (No Introduction) (Underline: Main Point, Italicize: Develops, Bold: Evaluation) AVRAM, Claudiu, and Mihaela ORAVITAN. "Fruit, Vegetables And Fast Food Consumption Among University Students." Timisoara Physical Education & Rehabilitation Journal 5.10 (2013): 54-60.SPORTDiscus. Web. 31 Mar. 2014. The study includes a survey of 435 students asking them what their daily diet consisted of. The results showed that two thirds of students are not eating fruits and vegetables daily, with 26% of students consuming unhealthy fast food products. The study identified that the three main determinants for an unhealthy diet included: lack of time, school lunch, and lack of money. (develop on the previous sentence more) I chose the following sample in order to highlight the overall unhealthy trend of the food selection of college students. While not being a directly social evaluation, the study shows the three main determinants of food selection, which I propose since its a large enough issue, students tend to remain with an unhealthy diet, rather than seeking means of maintaining a healthy one.

This study assessed the the frequency of fast food consumption of racially/ethnically diverse adolescents in 20 secondary schools in Minneapolis and St. Paul Minnesota. They found that adolescents who lived near more fast food restaurants are there more often than compared to their peers. At the same time, adolescent males living near fast food restaurants ate fast food most frequently. (Can you clarify this sentence a bit more) The University of Central Florida contains numerous fast food venues in and around its campus. Mc Donalds, Burger King, Sbarro, Huey Magoos, Chic-Fil-A, Subway, and Jimmy Johns are just some of the fast food venues within a reasonable walking distance of each other. For students living on campus this doesnt offer too much of a wholesome meal selection. Alternative options are the UCF cafeterias, such as Knightros and Marketplace, and from personal experience their food isnt always appetizing. In accordance to the study, the students of UCF are less likely to select healthy food options. Garrity, Dominic. Food Survey. Survey. 31 Mar. 2014 In the survey I conducted, I sought to determine what students around UCF were more likely to eat, how satisfied they were with their diet, as well as how often they exercised. The following questions were asked to determine how much of a prepared meal they consumed, as well as their activity level. I hoped to correlate that those with healthier eating habits would be more satisfied and also would exercise more. Those who had healthier diets would, in theory, have better social interactions. (Provide some of the example questions and summarize the responses from the survey into some sort of conclusion reached by the data obtained.) Hearst, Mary O., et al. "Nutritional Quality At Eight U.S. Fast-Food Chains: 14-Year Trends."

American Journal Of Preventive Medicine 44.6 (2013): 589-594. Academic Search Premier. Web. 31 Mar. 2014. The overall quality of food in fast food restaurants in the U.S. have changed, but improvements are still definitely needed. (Yeah.. theres alot to be done here so just follow the format and you should be good to go.)

MCFERRAN, BRENT, et al. "I'll Have What She's Having: Effects Of Social Influence And Body Type On The Food Choices Of Others." Journal Of Consumer Research (2013): S61S75S61. Business Source Premier. Web. 31 Mar. 2014. This study showed how the body type of consumers affects the food consumption of other consumers around them. Such as obese people selecting a smaller quantity than their thinner associate. The adjustments became more profound for consumers with low appearance self-esteem. (Form some sort of connection here to bridge your main point and your evaluation) This survey aids my assertion of social influence in dietary choices. This shows that people change their decisions based on who they surround themselves wish. Perhaps with further interaction with healthier associates, obese individuals may elect to change their diets and/or lifestyle. Ploner, Matteo. "Peer Effects At Campus Cafeterias." Journal Of Evolutionary Economics 23.1 (2013): 61-76. Business Source Premier. Web. 31 Mar. 2014. This study showed that individuals tend to imitate directly observed behavior regarding food selection, as well evaluated voluntary allocation of monetary resources to future food consumption by customers of campus cafeterias.

(Form some sort of connection here to bridge your main point and your evaluation)

This study shows that people imitate what they observe socially. Peoples food choices can be manipulated by their companions to the point where their dining selection is influenced. (For most of your sources, by creating the connection between your main point and evaluation, this will create the development necessary to 1) reach the word requirement 2) create an understanding for readers to be able to make mental connections between what you intend to research and what conclusions you formed from that research.)
