1. Primary Research Questionnaire – Proposal
For our documentary topic, we have decided to focus on fast food and the health conditions that
can be caused in later life by the consumption of such food. We want to make our audience aware
of the issues of the food through exposing the facts and figures about sugar content, saturated
fats, salts and how this can affect you in later life. Our documentary will be called “Fast Food
Generation” and our central question is “How much does fast food really cost?” Please take a
