Most of people in some countries have a problem with weight, they are getting fatter that’s why level of health and fitness is getting worse. This essay will look at the reasons for this and propose some solutions.
One of the main causes of the problem is that fast food restaurant chains are developing. People are falling for it, because it’s cheap, fast and tasty, many of them also prefer fast food restaurants cause of marketing strategy of such restaurants. In the USA, for example, were opened first fast food restaurants such as McDonald’s or Burger King, that’s why these chains of fast restaurants is very developed, but it causes problems with obesity, and percentage of people who suffer from obesity is less than 33,8%. The solution is for the government to bring in taxes and fines for making more than 3 purchases in one month, which wouldn’t attract as much people as now to buy something in that kind of restaurants.
Another problem is that sports culture, it contains gyms, training ethics and social practices associated with sports. The majority of population in countries where people suffer from problems connected to weight or sports don’t do any sports, this issue is very specific because of prices of gym, in the United States, for example, average price of gym membership plan is $40-70, in LA Fitness the price is $40, whereas the price of Big Mac Meal in McDonald’s is only $10.19. It shows that the proposal for this obstacle is make prices for plans in gym lower, also some kind of special offers for people that have issues with their health or finances such as discounts.
As a conclusion, the main problem is that everything that is connected to sports is unavailable for low-income individuals, gym chains don’t provide any special offers or advertisement that might draw in a lot of people as fast-food restaurants’ marketing messages do.
