With the advent of urbanisation and the rise in popularity of fast
food
, there have been accompanying issues with rising
obesity
 rates – especially in developed countries like England and the USA. After providing a careful analysis of why
obesity
 has risen so sharply in these countries, I shall suggest a number of ways in which the
obesity
 epidemic can be ameliorated.
To begin
 with, it should be unsurprising that fast
food
 is incredibly popular in wealthy countries (like England and the USA). Due to
the high
Suggestion
higher
 levels of development in these countries, consumers possess more money and can
therefore
 consume vast amounts of fast
food
 without seriously diminishing their income.
For example
, the American Dietary Association found that (compared to the average Indian household), the average American household has a six times larger budget for
food
 per month.
Consequently
, it is to be expected that
obesity
 rates are much higher in countries with larger amounts of wealth.
However
, despite the severity of the
obesity
 problem, there are a number of ways in which developed countries could battle it more effectively.
Firstly
, developed governments could put far more pressure on fast
food
 outlets to provide healthy alternatives to hamburgers, french fries and soft drinks.
Secondly
, public exercise initiatives could be advertised and promoted far more vigorously.
Lastly
, modules that inform teenagers about healthy dietary requirements could be taught at schools. In conclusion,
although
obesity
 is a serious issue in the developed world, if the above steps are taken, the situation will surely improve in the coming years.
