Some people think that government is responsible for the rise in obesity in children, while others think it is the fault of the parents. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

I believe that the worrying increase of infant obesity is mostly determined by negligence of the parents. For some

people though

Accept comma addition

people, though

, the main responsibility of the increasing number of obesities in children, is on the government’s shoulders. As just mentioned, some people think that

overweightness

usually describes a large person who is fat but has a large frame to carry it

overweights

among children is

government’s fault

Suggestion

the government’s fault

.

This

might be the case for three reasons: number one, the government should control and regulate the

food

distributed in schools. What happens is that the government leaves the freedom to choose to each school what they want to have in their

food

offer, and often unhealthy

food

is less expensive and more popular among children than fresh

food

. Number two, governments should provide a better support

less wealthy families with children, in order to give them the possibility to afford higher quality

food

. Number three, the distribution of fast foods on the territory should be regulated e.g.

there

There

should not be any fast

nearby a school. For those who believe that it is parents’ fault, there is one main reason why they support

this

idea. Parents are the ones who get to decide what their children eat during the

first

years, and a good

food

education depends mostly on them.

Furthermore

, if a child is gaining weight it is up to his or her parents to fix the situation. In my opinion, it is mainly

parents’ responsibility

Suggestion

the parents’ responsibility

if the children become overweight. Apart from very few cases where obesity is a genetic disease and it is not strictly related to

food

, for all the other situations, the sickness depends on the amount of

food

eaten.

Therefore

, parents are the ones who should keep under control the weight of their babies. In conclusion, I think that too often people tend to blame the government for their mistakes. Parents are the main responsible for a good health of their children. With a better

food

regulation, it would be the child to prefer good quality to junk

food

and there is no reason why he or she should prefer a big mac to a good grilled steak. Only with a good education the number of obesity in children will start to decrease.
