#obesity #epidemic
It is, indeed, a widespread concern that a large proportion of people the world over is becoming obese.
This
 is a serious socio-economic
problem
, and it is largely attributed to the modern lifestyle. Let us discuss some solutions to tackle
this
 common issue. The
problem
 of
obesity
 can be solved by imposing heavy taxes on junk
food
. The excessive consumption of these
food
 causes an unhealthy lifestyle and leads to damage to their body by inflating more unwanted fatty foods and calories content. It is evident that from the popularity of enormous
food
 chain groups by MacDonald’s, Burger King and, so on. We can see a long queue in front of these restaurants. Mostly, children are fond of
this
 junk
food
 but now there is no age barrier. Eating these will certainly affect the body severely.
Therefore
, the only way to control
this
 is to levy taxation and it may discourage individuals from buying it regularly.
Thus
, to an extent, the
problem
 of
obesity
 can control. Another solution the government can put forward is setting up a public area where individuals can work out regularly without paying a huge amount.
Moreover
, people will get cautious about their health and they would have a daily exercise. The main issue of
obesity
 is sitting ideal and not giving the body any kind of work. To overcome
this
 the public fitness park can be a beneficial solution. In conclusion,
obesity
 is a big issue and by taking collective efforts from both individuals and the government the
problem
 can reduce to a great extent.
