Many people think rising the overweight’s children is the government’s responsible. Whereas, others think this issue is parents’ fault. In my opinion, the government has the biggest role to anticipate the this issue.
On the one hand, the government has awareness to obesity issues in school. There are many students who have obesity. The students buy unhealthy food such as candies in the school without any restricted rules from the teacher. The government has a program which it has increase teacher awareness. The program is about the impact of unhealthy food to gain weight. For example, Ministry of Health Republic Indonesia give some campaigns about Bahaya Jajan Sebarangan for teachers, students, and sellers in school as their responsibility to decrease a number of over weight’s student.
On the other hand, some people think a lot of students in elementary school have obesity because of their parents give unhealthy food. Furthermore, both mother and father might do not know about the unhealthy food’s impact to their kids. It is important to learn and build healthy habbit at home. Before telling their children, parents have learn what the unhealthy food is. For instance, in Indonesia, almost 90% of mothers prepare kids’ meal everyday as a responsibility, while father go to office.
In conclusion, in my opinion the government should make a campaign to increase awareness. Not only for teachers but also for parents’ who have kids. The ministry have giving some informations about awareness and knowledge about what obesity is, what is the impacts, and how to avoid it. Because the gorvenment has role about this issue.
