Some people think that government is responsible for the rise in obesity in children. Do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, the figures for overweight in childhood remain increasing and some people opine that it is the responsibility of the government.

However

, I totally disagree with that because the health of our

children

depends solely on the

parents

and the context that they provide.

Although

the national leaders are the responsible for promoting health and should make sure that their laws foster wellbeing , creating

for example

taxes on sugar drinks or lollies, the obesity issue comes from a deeper and stronger aspect; the family, the

first

society of all individuals and where we all learn our values and beliefs. So that, In my perspective,

children

are becoming obese because of

parents

that do not see

this

as a problem and maintain prejudicial habits related to nutrition. Lack of positive role models and sedentarism,

for instance

, are impacting new generations,

if they do not practice any physical activity, the situation could be even worst.

Moreover

, if they see that their

parents

do the same, never go for a walk and all the time are ingesting unhealthy food without any doubt they will develop as adults with those characteristics in their life as normal and appropriate.

On the other hand

, if a child constantly is doing exercise, playing and using their gross motor skills, surrounded by vegetables and fruits, she or he will find those aspects enjoyable and part of their life, even with advertisements related to unhealthy food, their habits will be already set and unlikely will change. To conclude, I disagree with the idea that
