In the 21st century,

obesity

in children has become a major issue because of future consequences like health diseases and expensive care. There are several factors regarding

this

issue. In

this

essay, I will expand on the reasons and

also

suggestions to solve the problem.

To begin

with reasons, there are many factors which accelerate the kids'

obesity

growing rate in society.

First,

nowadays, fast

food

has become pervasive and of course popular among kids. Consuming

this

kind of

food

which is made by using a huge amount of oil can result in serious disease and

obesity

in the long term if it is not well-controlled.

Furthermore

, too much screen time is another reason exacerbating the issue.

For instance

, these days juveniles spend hours of their leisure time playing online video games, resulting in fewer outdoor activities and eventually eye problems and fatness. To counter

this

problem, parents should have a plan to monitor their offspring's eating habits.

For example

, cooking them healthy

food

and making sugar-free cookies before school can prevent them from buying fast

food

or junk

food

.

Moreover

, in terms of activities, an article published

last

year concluded children who were accompanied by their parents in outdoor activities showed less interest to stuck in front of the TV or gaming console.

To conclude

,

while

with the growing prevalence of fast

food

and the popularity of video

games

Add a comma

games,

show examples

it would be challenging to control

obesity

in the young generation, I believe that by planning countermeasures like diet control and monitoring children's screen time, they can mitigate the growing fatness rate among kids.
