27. Many people believe that majority of children in western countries are being obese. Is it true? Agree or disagree. Give reasons and examples.
Obesity
has become one of health issues around the world due to the civilization and industrialization. Many people opine that it is not only affects adults, but also
the youth in developing nations. I totally agree their view and the essay will discuss this
view with examples.
To begin
with, researches indicate that more children are overweight or obese in the contemporary world and this
trend will continue to be upward. This
may be resulted from unhealthy eating habits, easy assess to fast foods, extremely busy lifestyles, and so on. For example
, fast food
, such
as pizza, hamburgers, deep fired chicken, and so on, is not only children's favourite choice but also
parents' because it is delicious for children and convenient and cheap for parents. However
, too much high-calorie fast food
will cause consumers to become obese. In addition
, food
was no longer as safe as those in the past. For instance
, genetically modified fruits and poultries fed with steroid-contained food
may also
contribute the obesity
of children.
In addition
, lack of exercises and unhealthy lifestyle also
lead to obese children as well. Novel digital gadgets keep children occupied on their interest in playing video games, watching TV, surfing online, and so on. The long-screen time will reduce their outdoor activities and contribute to a sedentary lifestyle which will cause children obese. For example
, researches indicate that children who spent more than two hours on screen daily will develop obesity
. Moreover
, mental health issues, such
as depression or anxiety also
dominate the youth. Medications for treating these diseases also
cause obesity
as well.
In conclusion, obesity
has been treated as one of the chronic diseases worldwide. The high percentage of children are obese due to the above reasons. Obesity
even worsens children's confidence and competency; therefore
, parents and educators should guide children exercise and reduce the screen time in order to protect our future generation.Submitted by busybee1693 on
