The number of overweight children in developed countries is increasing. Some people think this is due to problems such as the growing number of fast food outlets. Others believe that parents are to blame for not looking after their children's health. To what extent do you agree with these views?

When discussing the possible causes of
pediatric
of or relating to the medical care of children
paediatric
obesity
, one should bear in mind the complexity of the issue. Some people believe that the main problem leading to
obesity
is the rapidly growing number of fast
food
restaurants, which provides an unhealthy but cheap meal. Others, including myself, think that parents carry the main responsibility
to
Suggestion
for
this
growing epidemic. In the following essay, I will provide arguments and examples to support my opinion. Parental

Suggestion
the children's overweight problem
a children's overweight problem
. Parents should educate their children, from an early age, about the fundamental components of
food
such
as carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
Furthermore
, kids should be taught about the importance of a balanced diet and to avoid foods rich with sugar and fat, like

beverages and red meat. According to the New York Times,
for example
, there is a linear relationship between

This
shows that parents have a

role in

among children. Another reason explaining why parents are responsible for

is that in developed
countires

adults are forced to spend many hours working.
As a result
, parents cook less in comparison to other countries, and the children are forced to rely on fast
food
. A family,
for example
, where both parents work 8 hours a day, will not be able to provide a hot and healthy meal for their children when they come back from school.
Consequently

This
demonstrates that parental presence

that parents have an important role in educating children about the importance of a correct diet, and in providing them a nutritional meal rather than fast
