Some people think that government is responsible for the rise in obesity in children. Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

NOWADAYS,
OBESITY
PREVALENCE HAS BEEN RISING AMONGST
CHILDREN
. WHILE ONE WIDELY HOLD THE OPINION THAT THE MAIN REASON FOR
THIS
PROBLEM IS GOVERNMENTS' IRRESPONSIBLE ATTITUDES, OTHERS DISAGREE. I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THE LATTER SIDE OF ARGUE AND
THIS
ESSAY WILL EXPLAIN WHY
CHILDREN
'S HEALTH IS RELATED TO THEIR
PARENTS
' ATTITUDES RATHER THAN GOVERNMENTS.
FIRST
AND FOREMOST,
CHILDREN
ARE LIKE SPONGES WHILE THEY ARE BEING UPBROUGHT. BECAUSE OF
THIS
FACT, IF
PARENTS
ENCOURAGED THEIR
CHILDREN
TO EAT HEALTHY FOOD,
OBESITY
WOULD BE LESSENED. TO AN EXTENT, WHEN A CHILD IS SERVED FRENCH FRIES FOUR TIMES A WEEK OR NOT PREVENTED FROM PROCESSED FOOD BY
PARENTS
, GAINING WEIGHT OR
OBESITY
WOULD BE SEEN AS AN INEVITABLE CONSEQUENCE.
BESIDES
COOKING OR PROVIDING HEALTHY FOODS,
PARENTS
SHOULD BE ROLE MODELS TO THEIR
CHILDREN
THROUGH THEIR EATING HABITS.
SECONDLY
, THE LACK OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES OR SPENDING A LOT OF TIME IN FRONT OF COMPUTERS ARE THE OTHER REASONS FOR BEING AN OBESE. AT THAT POINT, ENCOURAGING
CHILDREN
TO SPORTS OR CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT CONDUCIVE TO FACE-TO-FACE ACTIVITIES CAN BE COUNTED AS
PARENTS
' RESPONSIBILITIES
INSTEAD
OF GOVERNMENTS.
FOR INSTANCE
, RESTRICTED COMPUTER HOURS OR COMPULSORY PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES WITH FAMILY MEMBERS CAN BE ORGANISED BY
PARENTS
. LESS IMMOBILITY AND MORE ACTIVITY MAY HELP TO BURN CALORIES AND PREVENT
CHILDREN
FROM BEING AN OBESE. TO SUM UP,
PARENTS
HAVE AN ESSENTIAL ROLE IN THEIR
CHILDREN
'S HEALTH. AS LONG AS THEY DO NOT TAKE A CHARGE OF THEIR
CHILDREN
'S DAILY ROUTINES,
OBESITY
WILL BE A SERIOUS AND UNPREVENTABLE PROBLEM AMONG
CHILDREN
