From 6b66d5d9c7c5e65c4af12f0b0de8fa65ca67b94c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heather Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2025 20:07:52 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] I am currently working on the argument project. I've been attempting all of the labs. For the pokemon labe, as stated in that commit message, I understood the concepts and knew what I wanted to do with the code, but wasnt always successful in writing it correctly. I'm worried about the same thing in the arguement project. I'm limiting my dataset to the first 15 rows to make it more managable for me. --- proposal.md | 23 +++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 23 insertions(+) diff --git a/proposal.md b/proposal.md index 2586c0c..a2b5e21 100644 --- a/proposal.md +++ b/proposal.md @@ -10,30 +10,53 @@ argument. *This should be the big picture question that you ask; use at least 5 sentences to describe why you are interested in it.* +My overarching question is whether it is possible to find a healthy option at a fast food place. +By healthy, I will look at how many of the calories are made up of fat.
