In some countries the average weight of people is increasing and their levels of health and fitness are decreasing. What do you think are the causes of these problems and what measures could be taken to solve them?

It is argued that many people nowadays aren't healthy when compared to people in the 1990s.

matter at hand if the proper steps are taken.
One
of the main causes of weight

in people is that there is a huge hike in the number of fast food chains.
In other words
, many restaurants
such
as McDonalds, KFC and Popeyes have opened up in recent times, and
this
has encouraged people to buy from them due to easy access.

That is
why, a growing number of

One
solution for
