In large number of countries, obesity is being a serious problem in children. Despite several countries trying to solve numerous vital issues, there are some problems yet to be fixed to reduce early age obesity in significant amount.
There are many root cause why obesity has grown drastically in recent years. Development of online transportation and online gaming lead children to enjoy sedentary life style. Furthermore, Parents with lack of knowledge related to providing healthy diet for their loved ones, accidentally buy sugary food and beverages in grocery stores. However, food industry these days supply vast amount of high sugar and carbohydrate, food seller is not giving adequate information of food ingredient.
In my opinion, the responsibilities lies with the government, who are not brining enough effort to control food industries. What they can do both increasing tax in specific sugary food and drinks to reduce the number of their sales and giving incentives for those promoting healthy diet. Although children obesity has growing due to unhealthy diet, parents should increase their knowledge to filter certain food that are bad for their children. In addition to that, schools should provide more information in class related to balance diet for their students.
To conclude, I think, Sedentary life style and unhealthy diet have been the major cause of children obesity. Although is up to the family to control which way is better for the children, the government and schools must take into more serious actions to bring down the children obesity numbers.
