There is a problem that the average weight of people is rising that is caused by the declining of their health and exercise levels in some countries, especially, developed nations. I think that the causes are included in food and chaging a style of work. In my opinion, this problem can be solved by corporation of governments and companies.
Firstly, people eat enough food today. In the past, people did not obtain ample foods and often did a physical activities such as walk, so three times meals in a day is suitable for their life style. However, in today’s world, they can reach enough food and rarely exercise because of the development of society, so it can be said that they intake calories over consumption calories. Additionally, many food in today’s world contain much fat, such as butter and meats. This also contributes to rising their weght.
Moreover, working style had changed a lot comparing that of in the past. In the past, physical jobs were mainstream while many white collar jobs are existing nowadays. White collar jobs is a desk work that does not require physical activities and rarely use calories. Thus, people who exercise in daily life is declining. Besides, it is often said that modern people are busy and have few time to do sports. This leads to the decreasing of frequency of fitness.
To solve this problem, it is necessary for governments and companies to do actions. For example, governments can impose more taxes in producs that contain much fat. Actually, this method can be done in some European countires, and I heard that it worked. Also, supermarkets provide healthy food to citizens in a reasonable price by being supported financially by goverments.
The issue about people’s health might caused by their shifts of lifestyle including food and work, and this can be adressed if governments and companies coperate one anothers.
