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?

Nowadays obesity has become really widespread among young

children

which

puts

their life in danger. I completely agree with the argument that the responsibility of tackling

this

issue falls on

governments

since they have enough power and funding. I believe there are several actions worth being taken by the

governments

to solve

this

problem in the most appropriate way.In my opinion obesity of

children

originates from two main areas; the

food

that

children

eat and their daily or weekly

activities

,so, since authorities have the required power and money, they can effectively improve the two areas for our

children

. Regarding the

food

that kids eat, one thing that authorities can do is to introduce school meals which are healthy and full of vitamins and proteins for

children

.

This

can include several types of

food

ranging from different fruits to vegetables.

Furthermore

, another action related to the

food

worth taking is to introduce higher taxes for

children

eating fast

food

.

This

measure acts as a deterrent and in

this

way, families try to provide less amount of fast

food

for their

children

during the year.

Thirdly

, they can introduce some specific subjects in the schools' curriculum in which their teachers talk about the benefits of having a healthy lifestyle and diet and

also

discuss the negative consequences of eating too much junk

food

and their long term effects on our life. These kinds of subjects require hiring some new part-time teachers who are actually doctors and to do

this

,

governments

have to allocate a part of their budget to that.

Moreover

, creating some cartoons on social media with the same topic can

also

have a significant effect on

children

's attitudes towards a healthy lifestyle. In regard to physical

activities

,

governments

have to do anything in order to increase the hours and time that

children

spend on physical

activities

because these kinds of

activities

can considerably burn a huge amount of the calories that

children

gain during a day and help them be fit.

This

objective can be achieved by introducing some extra sports subjects to the schools' curriculum. Since

children

are enthusiastic about these

activities

, in a long time they will be moved towards a healthy lifestyle. In conclusion, the obesity rate among

children

has increased dramatically which may bring several health issues for them and I believe that

governments

can best address

this

problem since they have enough resources to decrease

this

rate.
