At this point, my research has provided necessary complexity to my topic, proving that it isn’t straightforward to come to a conclusion which is something important to address in my essay. I found that researching key concepts within the subjects gave me focus and another lens to investigate my RQ in-depth, for example the nutrition-transition model. However, primary research has proven to be a useful yet demanding resource as individual responses show contrasting beliefs, yet I’ve faced some difficulties transforming qualitative data into quantitative. One challenge that I’m struggling with is wrestling my passion for sustainability under control in order to maintain a clear focus on my RQ. After discussing with my supervisor, the sustainability angle seems lost however I can validate the environmental arguments as they are vital to my investigation.
