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?

Considering many young people have been gaining weight unhealthily, a few argue that

this

issue should be resolved by the government. I totally agree with

this

viewpoint, because most parents do not have enough knowledge to teach their kids, and public schools do not provide healthy

food

or the amount of physical activity needed. One of the main reasons I believe the government is responsible for the bad eating habits of the

children

is because most families do not understand anything about nutrition, as they were never taught, and think being healthy is expensive.

For instance

, if there were classes to teach how to choose quality

food

at an accessible price and prepare it, more people would develop

this

awareness from an early age.

Besides

, the

children

would be able to teach their parents and friends, helping to spread useful knowledge and change their mindset. Another key argument to support my view is that the

food

provided in public schools is unhealthy, and most

children

do not have a chance to exercise, so they might become obese, which could contribute to other diseases,

such

as diabetes or heart problems.

For example

, by providing vegetables and fruits to

children

and free sports classes, as well as explaining their importance, it would be easier for them to become healthier adults.

Thus

, public money would be saved, as there would be a decrease in the number of exams, medicine and surgeries spent. In conclusion, it has become more difficult to deal with the increasing amount of overweight

children

. I believe some investment is necessary to spread knowledge about nutrition among

children

, as parents are incapable of helping sometimes, as well as provide healthy

food

, and encourage

children

to have a more active lifestyle.

Therefore

, if the government wants to reduce their health expenses with obese adults, they should be more concerned about raising awareness among

children

now.
