I will show the causes of overweight children and some remedial ideas. To being with,

this

problem has two main causes. The

first

one is bad education about

nutrition

among individuals.

This

subject is underrated most of the time, and

this

leads to bad

food

habits. If we do not provide any type of knowledge about what kids should eat and what they should avoid, them will be very difficult to make the right choice.

. The

second

cause is the negative marketing strategies applied by

food

chains like McDonald's or other fast-

food

companies. These brands promote on tv their unhealthy products and

this

increases the attractiveness for kids. Marketing has the aim of pushing the customers to buy a product, and until governments will allow fast

food

companies to show their advertisements on tv, youngsters will buy their meals. To tackle

this

dangerous situation there is one main solution. Education is the only tool to grow new generations in a healthier way. Schools should add to their programs some lessons on

nutrition

, explaining to pupils the risk of eating too much junk

food

, and

also

inviting experts to talk.

Furthermore

, governments have to prioritise their citizens' health, by promoting good

food

habits with spots on the tv, marketing and announcements in order to inspire people to create a healthy lifestyle. To conclude, the two main causes of obesity in kids are the low level of education about

nutrition

and the negative advertising created by fast

food

chains like McDonald's.

On the other hand

, to fix

this

problem, schools and governments have to spread knowledge about

nutrition

and the risk of eating too much junk

food

among people. I think that our society can resolve

this

situation.
