Obesity
 in
children
 is worsening at an unprecedented rate and many discussions have been made to overcome
such
 a situation. Some people view that the best
way
 to prevent
obesity
 in
children
 is by banning fast
foods
 and sweet
snacks
 in schools'
cafeteria

Although
 I believe it is a good precautionary measure, I do not agree it is the best
way
 to fight against
child
obesity
. Prohibition of selling junk
foods
 and sugary
snacks
 may be useful if students eat in their school's cafeteria on a daily basis.
However
, many students bring their own lunch boxes to school and if they are still provided with unhealthy
foods
, it will still jeopardize the
child
's health.
Therefore
, I believe the restriction to selling junk
foods
 and unhealthy
snacks
 is not the best
way
 to combat
child
obesity
.
On the other hand
, I am of the opinion that good
habits
 begin at the family level.
Thus
, the best
way
 is for
parents
 to lead their
children
 by example.
This
 means
parents
 need to show their kids a real example of how to have a well-balanced diet

 a sufficient amount of physical exercise.
Children
, who are still in an absorbing phase in their lives, will take after their
parents
'
habits
 and
therefore
 it will be easier for them to develop good
habits
 if they already see
such
habits
 at an early age. In conclusion, I believe that restricting the sale of fast
foods
 and sweet
snacks
 in schools is not the best
way
 to fight against
child
obesity
 but I think it is a good step to start the awareness of living a healthy life for
children
. I personally think that the most important role
