This

essay discusses both points of view and argues that childhood

obesity

is an issue that needs immediate attention from both the

government

and parents. On the one hand,

government

regulations should limit the advertising of sugar and carbohydrate products to young consumers.

This

would reduce the likelihood that young people will demand and insist on consuming sweets endlessly, without limits or balance.

Furthermore

, increasing the number of required physical education classes in schools,

for example

, could help minors stay in good shape.

However

, the reach of

government

action is quite indirect and requires particular execution.

On the other hand

, parents have the most powerful and direct influence on their

children

when it comes to the most important parts of life,

such

as food and health. If all adults were to adopt a healthy lifestyle

on regular outdoor activities, it would create a culture in which

children

would enjoy and appreciate

this

type of approach and duplicate the same model as they grow older.

Moreover

, caregivers decide what to buy and what to leave out, so they have an immediate impact on their

children

's diets. In conclusion,

while

some people blame

government

factors for the rise in

obesity

- and they have the right to do so - I believe that the root cause of childhood

obesity

is the place where everything is essentially decided, which is the caregiver, parent or family.
