All over the world, the number of overweight people is growing. What do you feel are the main causes of this? What are the effects?

The increasing rates of

obesity

are a universal

issue

that everyone should focus on and how we can reduce the number of

people

that are suffering from being overweight. The purpose of

this

essay is to discuss the reasons behind

this

increase and the results of

this

growth.

To begin

, the increase in

obesity

rates is the government's and the individual's responsibility.

For example

, one of the key causes of

obesity

is junk

food

, eating junk

food

that contains a substantial amount of calories and fats will definitely result in overweight

people

.

However

, there is no doubt that having a large number of fast

food

restaurants can encourage

people

to eat more fast

food

which is why it is the government's duty to reduce these types of restaurants.

Moreover

, if

people

did not know about the consequences of

this

issue

then

they will not take the problem seriously which is why we need to spread awareness about the effects of

this

issue

.

On the other hand

, no one can deny that being overweight has numerous negative effects.

Firstly

, it will cause many minor and major illnesses like backache, and stomachache and sometimes it may lead to death.

In addition

, overweight

people

will have short lives as many studies proved that having a healthy life will result in having a long life and vice versa. In the conclusion,

to sum up

, the

obesity

issue

is a significant problem that unfortunately we can not completely stop but we can reduce it through small changes in life that will make a huge difference in the near future.
