Childhood obesity is an increasing problem in Australia. As many as tow thirds of children are now obese. Schools have a responsibility to monitor what their students eat and the amount of exercise they do. To what extent do you agree with this statement?

The number of overweight young individuals growing in size nowadays become a serious social issue not only in Australia but in many regions around the world.

While

some consider it as the obligation of individuals, I strongly agree that educational institutions play essential roles to help young people remain their weight at a healthy standard.

follow balanced diets and have sufficient outdoor activities.

On the other hand

, there are various methods for educational institutions to tackle

such

problems. First of all, schools are able to provide healthy meals with sufficient nutrition and low calories to cultivate the younger generation with healthy eating habits.

For example

, in the majority of secondary schools in Taiwan, it is compulsory for students to eat lunch arranged by professional nutritionists to deter them from eating fast food.

Secondly

, educators could throw many events to encourage teenagers to form a regular exercise routine, including sports competitions and marathons.

For example

, many schools in the USA are together holding national sports competitions annually, which attract thousands and millions of young participants.  To summarise, it is essential for family members to keep an eye on their children to intake more real food and less processed products.

In contrast

, I am in favour of depending on authorities to reduce the number of young people who suffer from
