Nowadays, the world witnesses an increasing number of people suffering from significant health illnesses because of obesity. Personally, there is a wide range of contributing factors to this negative tendency, of which habit formation and mental illness are the most prominent. Therefore, to address this issue, governments need to have some changes in tax regime as well as launch a policy on encouraging healthier food choices.
To begin with, there are a number of culprits behind this pressing matter. The initial one is the existence of fast foods. Apparently, junk foods like pizzas and hamburgers are not only cheap and flavorful, but they are also pervasive in every corner of the city. Therefore, such convenience inevitably promotes daily sale volumes which results in considerably large annual junk food’s consumption. This is particularly true for ones with clerical works where time and money are what they prioritize over nutritious proportions. What could also prompt the potential rate of people being overweight is mental illness. It is this competitive world that forces people to shoulder many daunting pressures from school loads to financial problems which undoubtedly lead to chronic anxiety, even depression. To alleviate such psychological problems, people tend to eat uncontrollably and keep themselves at home, thereby laying the foundation of a sedentary lifestyle.
However, a number of practical actions could be taken to overcome this hurdle. A possible approach is for the authorities to exercise their exclusive power in raising tax for such unhealthy rations, thereby decreasing the consumption of the whole industry. Another viable option is that the state could facilitate residential areas with exercising equipment, especially catering for kids and launch a campaign to encourage people’ healthier food choices as well as mitigate people’ life pressure. For example, they could impose regulations on banning fast foods’ advertisements, constructing more organic markets in towns and giving citizens a financial reward when they attain outstanding achievements in schools and offices. By doing so, governments could not only work forwards to reduce the current rate of people being overweight but they could also minimize the rate of future obesity and serious diseases, ensuring national fitness
In conclusion, severe diseases coming from obesity is a complex issue that results from unhealthy food choice and mental breakdown. By imposing an effective campaign and adjusting tax regime, societies can successfully reduce rate of experiencing obesity and other health problems
