approximately 20% during the

ten years. Many people think the cause may be the existence of large-scale takeaway or fast

food

centres,

while

others believe that a few physical education

classes

may be the major factor for children being overweight.

This

essay will try to outline the reasons and effects of

this

negative trend.

To begin

with, nowadays, many and many people choose fast

food

over homemade

food

due to

and children from western regions are no exception. To be more clear,

for instance

, the kids may consume fast

food

because their

parents

work and do not have spare time to prepare something for them and as junk

food

contains a huge amount of fat and sugar offspring may get obese with ease.

Thus

,

parents

' not careful attention towards their kids' healthy diet may result in obesity growth. To cite an example, my acquaintance who currently lives in Belgium suffers from being fat and his mother said

that is

her own fault that his son frequently eats in fast

food

places because she cannot manage to do that work too.

Moreover

, the government often neglect the importance of

sports

activities in educational institutes and they remove almost all

sports

classes

from school curriculums. Saying thoroughly, schoolchildren rarely exercise which leads to the increasing percentage of obese pupils.

In other words

, they are deprived of doing

sports

where they could burn their extra weight.

For example

, I was approximately 50kg at the age of 8, because I hated doing private

sports

activities and as I seldom had physical education

classes

, it had a double bad impact on me. In a nutshell, it is apt

to conclude

that both the government and

parents

have their amount of fault for

this

disturbing trend among children.In terms of

parents

, they are not willing to find extra time and allocate it for preparing even easy-prepared meals

such

as rice or pasta.

Lastly

, with regard to the government, they find

sports

classes

unuseful and pointless which

also

contributes to the obesity rate accession among youngsters.
