In some countries, many children are becoming overweight and unhealthy. Some people say it is the responsibility of governments to solve this problem. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

In today’s globalizing world, overweight and

obesity

have become increasingly popular among teenagers in recent years. A number of people hold different views about whether it is necessary for the

government

to settle

this

problem. From my personal perspective, I am convinced by

this

viewpoint, and

this

essay will shed light on the rationale. On the one hand, nowadays,

children

are more likely to become overweight and unhealthy. It has several adverse effects on the society and average citizen’s health, so it is crucial for the

government

to take responsibility for ensuring the well-being of citizens.

That is

to say, if a country is facing some serious problems

For instance

Therefore

On the other hand

suggests that parents can have a direct impact on improving their

health by choosing healthy meals which contain less sugar and fat.

This

can be exemplified by a sedentary lifestyle, the only ones who can tackle these problems are their parents, they can either encourage and guide their child to engage in more physical activity,

such

as playing football, swimming, and doing yoga. A recent survey in VietNam indicated that

health.

Nevertheless

alone may not be able to tackle these problems effectively and cooperation with

children’s

families is essential.
