All over the world, societies are facing a growing problem with obesity. This problem affects both adults and children. What are the reasons for the rise in obesity? How could it be solved?

Nowadays,

obesity

has become a growing global issue. Being overweight does not merely damage adults’ well-being, but children’s as well. In many cases, a high-calorie diet is the cause of

obesity

and most modern citizens have been exposed and encouraged to one. The essay will discuss the main three reasons for

this

problem

and provide some possible solutions.

To begin

it is clear that

society. With the intention for a bigger profit,

food

businesses overwhelm consumers, both adults and children, with attractive advertisements in every media possible.

For example

, KFC in Australia promotes their deep-fried chicken on every social media,

as well as

billboards on the highways, tempting consumers to order their meal. To tackle

this

issue, I suggest the government limit

. One avocado is often priced as much as a large pack of chips. A solution to

this

phenomenon is the authority to raise the taxes for unhealthy

products and use the fund to support low-income individuals, which can, hopefully, allow them to be able to afford healthier choices. The third cause of

this

problem

is the lack of healthy

food

choices at school. For many students, they fail to obtain proper nutrition from their school lunches. To give an example, most schools in the U.S.A only provide high-calorie

food

such

as pizza and french fries for their students. In order to solve

this

problem

, the government must monitor and regulate education institutes to offer at least one healthy option

while

reducing the unhealthy ones.

Otherwise

, the next generation is forced to take on an unhealthy eating

To sum up

, the inclining trend of

obesity

in the world is

due to

the rising consumption of junk

food

, the high cost of healthy alternatives and the high-calorie school lunch for children.
