In many countries, children are becoming overweight and unhealthy. Some people think that the government has the responsibility to solve this problem. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

With the rapid development of technology programmes and many shops in which a lot of unhealthy meals and drinks are sold,

children

in many countries are confronted with significant problems related to their health in the face of their being unhealthy and unfit. At a time, some people argue that it is the

government

's responsibility to solve

this

issue. As far as I am concerned, I am in favour of junk

food

advertising should be limited by the

government

.

Firstly

, in order to make

children

healthy and improve their poor diets as well bad eating habits which cause obesity, the

government

and the whole society should do their utmost to prohibit unhealthy junk

food

and advertisements which are based on

this

food

owned by several companies. Because parents nowadays are busy with their own jobs and not present to guide their

children

.

Therefore

,

children

are often bombarded with advertisements on TV about fast

food

at home playing video games, spending more time indoors and chatting on the Internet rather than playing outside or doing sport and taking part in activities that burn a lot of energy.

Secondly

, the

government

should put some restrictions on the type of adverts shown in

children

's programmes and meanwhile, educate

children

about nutrition organizing compulsory lessons to explain the main elements of a healthy diet and how to prepare healthy delicious meals at home which helps to deter them from eating fast

food

.

Furthermore

, the

government

also

should establish regular fitness programmes by increasing physical activities for

children

.

However

,

children

can not be controlled by the

government

all the time. That's why, parents should take more responsibility for their

children

by preparing bounteous meals, banning them from computer games and encouraging their

children

to do physical exercises every day.

In addition

to

this

,

although

parents are constantly engaged with their jobs, they should make

children

get used to a proper eating routine. It is very crucial for

children

's health. To sum up, in my point view, the

government

plays a major role in improving

children

's unhealthy lifestyles and putting restrictions on their consumption of fast

food

.
