The topic of our ThinkQuest Project is "Slimming and beauty - why are we so obsessed?"

Nowadays, slimming advertisements are to be seen everywhere in Hong Kong. There are also a large variety of slimming products and beauty programs. But are they reliable? Will there be any side-effects? Does "slimness" really represent "beauty"? We would like to find out some healthy and effective ways for people to keep fit.

In addition, this topic is interesting and educational. In Hong Kong, many people realize that slimness is rather important, so we want to give them a correct concept through this project.

But who is our intended audience? Mostly teenagers. Since teenagers nowadays love to become thinner and thinner, our intended audience will be young men and women.

We hope people can learn that using slimming products for getting thinner is not a good idea, as well as preventing them from using the slimming products since these will make their bodies sick and unhealthy instead of being attractive, beautiful or thinner. Also, we would like to be sure that people won't use supplements (slimming products) in lieu of medical advice.
