Being excessively overweight has recently gained enormous popularity among people and it is believed by many that this issue can be solved by raising the prices of fattening foods. I strongly disagree with this opinion and there are plenty of other factors which play a crucial role in becoming obese.
Two main reasons are identified as the lack of physical activities and the appeal of high technology applications. Firstly, people are too occupied with their current work along with stress and responsibility, owing to their intense working schedules. People always want themselves to be successful in every aspect of their work and, in some cases, compel themselves to overwork, which may result in the excessive deduction of their time on physical activities.
Secondly, the rapid technological modernization which engenders many attractive sources of entertainment, video games, and the social network like Facebook, for example, is deemed the second root of the phenomenon. Because of this, people can get addicted to those technological advancements with ease, which may result in exercising discouragement. In other words, it can be the reason for laziness of people that causes obesity in them.
In conclusion, understanding that the origins of the problem mainly come from busy routine and sedentary lifestyle, except from fattening food, can be the main element of overcoming obesity problem in humans.
