Fattening Our Future
Everyone in this world is born equally with the ability to live a long healthy life. We have the ability to enjoy many things in this world that are great then there are those that taste amazing yet cause a lot of health issues. It’s alright to have it once in a while but never overdo it because it leads to one of the world’s greatest health concerns. “Approximately 22 million children under five years of age are overweight. During the past three decades, the number of overweight children in the Unites States has more than doubled.” (Decklbaum p. 239S). Mankind has taken things to far Larry McCleary a local pediatrician of Denver, Colorado once said “About eighty percent of the food on shelves of supermarkets today didn't exist 100 years ago.” I say we need to make a better decision for ourselves and our future generations. The children in this world are our life line and parents should care for them they should be provided with nutrition so our future prospers. Childhood obesity is most likely due to their surrounding environment, poor eating habit, and no physical activity. Parents should lead by example if they are in good health then make the effort to help your child improve. Childhood obesity has become an epidemic in America because most children underage are already overweight and obese.
One of many reasons childhood obesity has become an epidemic in America is due to the advertisement of fast food industries and its easy access. In a household today both parents work a 9 to 5 job or are too busy to come home and make a healthy meal so it is easier for them to drive to one of many fast food industries purchase a meal and feed it to their children at home. In addition they always ask if you want the larger meal or anything else with your order so making you open to the idea of getting more for yourself and child. They are just feeding families and children with countless calories and parents are unaware of unbalanced health issue
