Is fast food to blame for obesity in society or is gaining too much weight the responsibility of the individual? What factors contribute to obesity? Why do you think that children are becoming obese?

The increasing rate of

obesity

nowadays is worrying the whole society and even the country. Some

people

believe that the

cause

of being overweight is fast

food

while

some think that gaining too much weight is an individual’s responsibility. I agree with the latter as fast

food

is only a meal option and it’s not the only thing that will

cause

obesity

in an individual. In

this

essay, I’ll discuss my views on factors that contribute to

obesity

and why

children

are becoming obese. Lack of exercise is one of the important contributors to

obesity

. Both working adults and students nowadays are very busy with their work and studies.

Therefore

, the heavy workload might

workouts a few times a week. Laziness is

also

one of the main culprits that

cause

people

not to spend time doing workouts.

For instance

, most of them will prefer to play video games or watch shows when they're free.

Furthermore

, the costs of a gym membership and sports equipment are

also

not affordable to everyone. Fast

food

was being blamed by some

people

for causing the overweight problem. In my view, it’s not accurate that fast

food

is the main

cause

but the expensive prices of organic

food

. Organic and nutritious meal options are usually more pricey so they won’t be the preferred alternative for everybody.

For example

, a customised salad at a salad bar usually costs 2 times more than a hamburger set in a fast

food

restaurant.

Due to

the expensive cost of healthy

food

, more

people

will choose to have their

meals

at fast

food

restaurants and it’ll definitely

cause

a surge in the

obesity

rate.

Children

’s overweight rate is a very concerning situation as it is considered a serious medical condition . One of the reasons that

cause

could be parents don’t have enough time
