In some countries the average weight of people is increasing and their levels of health and fitness are decreasing. What do you think are the causes of these problems and what measures could be taken to solve them?

In the twenty-
first
century, as the development of technology is improving rapidly, the issue of obesity is rising due to changes in
people
's lifestyles. Meaning, the more we depend on artificial intelligence the less we need to do labour. There is a number of origins why humans are facing an overweight problem. In
this
essay, I will identify the reasons for
this
issue and its possible solutions. 
Firstly
, technology is involved in industries nowadays, where it is becoming more convenient to solve problems.
For example
, there are lots of food delivery businesses that advertise a wide range of unhealthy foods at reasonable prices. According to the study, every seven
people
out of ten prefer to order food delivery over their own cooked meals.
As a result
, the number of
people
who are suffering from obesity is significantly high due to the choice of unnutritious meals.
Secondly
, even though there are so many choices of food, why don't
people
just burn it out through exercise
instead
of putting on weight? But
people
in the present time prefer to stay with whatever shape they have with the impact of social media. To illustrate
this
, on social media platforms there are many models who support plus-size bodies and
people
have accepted
this
topic.
In addition
, it is a trend for western online fashion businesses to have curvy models to sell large-sized products.

may discourage society to avoid choosing a healthy lifestyle whilst
people
normalising overweight. To summarise, technology inventions provide
people
solutions for their issues. But there are negative consequences following
this
development and obesity is one of them.
People
are substituting electronic devices for basic human movement needs resulting in laziness and excess of fat in the body. Unfortunately, different nations have started to accept via the influence of advertisement and social media content.
