The number of overweight children in developed countries is increasing. Some people think that it is due to problems such as the growing number of fast food outlets. Others believed that parents are to blame for not looking after their children’s health. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

There is plenty of evidence to suggest that children are overweight, and the situation is getting worse according to medical experts. I feel there are plenty of reasons for

this

. Some people criticize a fast

food

outlet, which increases while others believe that parents are not paying attention after their children’s health. I tend to agree with

this

view. Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling, fatty foods and fried chicken, at a cheap price.

This

has created an entire generation of adults who have never cooked

food

for themselves. If there were less of these restaurants,

then

children would not be tempted to buy takeaway

food

. There is another argument that blames the parents for allowing their kids to become overweight. I agree with

this

view because healthy eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast

food

outlets. If kids are given chips, ice creams and chocolate rather than nourishing

food

or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for the sweet and salty foods every time, and

this

will carry on throughout their lives. Parents decide what to buy and let their kids eat and many parents know and feel that their children are overweight and yet let them eat high calorie contained

food

like fast foods. If parents try to make

this

In conclusion, kids understand that those types of fast foods are not safe for their health and draw restriction on how much their kids are allowed to eat,

then

the problem can solve partially.
