Writing task 2

These days, a plethora of people are struggling with obesity, as it is starting to affect the worldwide population. However, as processed food becomes more available and cheaper, plenty of children become addicted to the added sugar and unhealthy fats found in their preferred meals. I partially agree with this statement and I consider that it is the government's responsibility, as well as their parents for the youngsters' critical life condition. In this essay, I will present arguments to support my opinion and express my final thoughts on the given affirmation.

First of all, the government has a major role in children's nutritional education. Most of the countries lack proper courses on nutrition since it is a subject most overlooked by adults. Furthermore, by not implementing complex classes in regards to a healthy lifestyle, the children are more likely to opt for the processed version of foods on the long term. For instance, Japan has one of the lowest obesity rates worldwide, because the government focuses and enforces people at a fragile age to consume healthier foods and to take on physical activities.

Second of all, the children's parents take part of the blame for the pupils' condition. As a result, youngsters following their caregivers' behaviour are more likely to adopt their unhealthy habits of eating fast food or processed food. Therefore, the parents by not setting an example, the children would mimic their eating pattern, hence leading to their gaining in weight. For example, full-time working parents offering daily to their children fast food, such as pizza, burgers and so on, they would not only get addicted to these types of meals, due to their weak willpower and power of control, but also will crave more intensely these food options, as a consequence eating more of them.

To conclude, children's nowadays obesity is mostly due to the government's neglect of nutritional education, as well as the parents' uninvolvement in their youngsters' eating behaviour. In my opinion, not taking the immediate measurement to alleviate this global issue, might lead to an obesity pandemic worldwide, followed by an overall increase in various health problems.
