, our
children
 have been facing a severe problem with obesity.
This
 could be regarding the lack of their
parents
 giving them the attention they need during their meals or maybe because they need to learn how to have a healthy life regarding food. Whatever the reason, they would need to improve their
way
 to make those things better. Nowadays, many
parents
 cannot take care of their
children
's meals either they do not have time or they have not learnt how to do it properly. Whatever the case, fast food plays a role as an ally for those
parents
 who lack time. If we add that not knowing what food they are giving their
kids
, the results could be horrendous.

 to help reduce

 some counselling about

. Give an extra activity after school for those

 help to decrease the condition of obesity: exercise is an excellent

 to help our body to be healthy. A recent study says that
parents
 who care and know what their
kids
 have for the lunch break at school are getting better results in their exams. To summarize, obesity is getting our
kids
 in a
way
 that we do not want them to go. We need to know more about
this
 disease and how we can be faced it. Understanding what the main cause is could help us to reduce it.
