Nowadays,
children
's obesity is an ongoing issue in different countries all over the world, and
this
 belief has been accepted by a vast majority of
people
 that governments should take action and face
this
 current predicament. In my opinion, governments play a crucial role

instead
 of supporting the advertisement for unhealthy and sugary products. It is an undeniable fact that when 
children
 and parents see only the fancy face of products and meals, they cannot realize how harmful and risky these are.
Thus
, they do not know about the devastating effects of the high amount of fat and sugar on their bodies.
For example
, it is a beneficial idea to make an educational program on TV to explain the calories and amount of fat and sugar which every nutrition contains.
In contrast
, some
people
 claim that families are responsible for
children
's overweight, and they have to change their high-fat diet and unhealthy lifestyle. They firmly insist that if parents removed sugary and fast food from their meals, they could control the overweight problem among youngsters.
However
, I do not find
this
 argument convincing, as if
people
 had the basic knowledge to understand and check the ingredients on food labels.
Therefore
, they could control the intake of foods that are high in fats, sugar, and salt, it could be a remedy, and it is not necessary to eliminate all their favourite foods.
Hence
, with an educational program, the government can control the overconsumption of unhealthy foods. In conclusion, I completely agree with
this
 argument that
