Some people think that the government is responsible for the rise in obesity in children while others think it is the fault of the parents. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Few are of the opinion that the Government is accountable for the rise in obesity among children

while

others contradict the above statement and say parents are to be blamed for their kid's weight gain.

However

, my opinion is divided. I believe that both parties are equally responsible for

this

phenomenon. I will explain my reasoning in the following passages. To embark on, the main reason why people tend to assume that public authorities are answerable

to

the increase in child obesity is because the

Food

and Beverage departments are the ones that give permission to leading

food

companies to produce high-fat and sugar-content junk

foods

. If they could restrict the production of chips, biscuits, sodas and other harmful

foods

young adults would have fewer opportunities to consume them,

thus

, resulting in normal weight. Despite knowing that they contain bad

ingredients

, people in power have allowed them to sell their goods.

For example

, a Study conducted by the Obesity Clinic in Ohio revealed that 87% of snack products in supermarkets contain harmful chemicals. Even though they claim they are healthy, the

ingredients

tell

otherwise

and the

food

departments are reluctant to take any action against these organizations.

On the other hand

, some blame parents because they are the ones who buy processed

food

for their offspring. Because packaged

food

contains additives they are addictive in nature

hence

, children crave more of these

foods

. In order to satisfy their prodigy's needs and happiness, mothers end up buying them these products.

In addition

, another prominent reason why parents buy these nibbles is, that they are not aware of the

ingredients

.

Due to

the attractive packaging and false advertisement, they believe that these

foods

are good for their child's health.

Therefore

, they should educate themselves and always read the

ingredients

that are written on the back of the packaging,

this

way they can reduce the consumption of unhealthy

foods

. To exemplify, the

Food

supermarket conducted a survey to see how many people looked behind the package, it turned out only 12% of the shoppers actually went through the raw products.

To conclude

, not one person can take the blame. Both the Government and Adults need to work hand in hand and be vigilant of what is put out on the shelves of departmental stores and should prevent youngsters from eating

foods

that contain chemicals.
