THE FIGHT AGAINST CHILD OBESITY!
The obesity rate for many children in many country’s is growing on an unbelievable pace. What can we do to help reduce child obesity? In this post I will be talking about child obesity. For many, obesity as been a life long problem but for others they have taken the chance of obesity through eating habits and lack of exercise. Fighting against child obesity if worth fighting against because if we don’t act now it will pass down in further generations.
According to facts of the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) the child obesity rate has more then tripled in the past 30 years. 65 percent of the public is overweight. What can some of the reasons for all this be? Will to start with the entertainment industry is more and more developing which bring the Children to liking their product and watching movie and playing video games. Food Company focus there ad’s on kids only because it is easy to get their attention, all the ads are for junk foods and you will never see an ad for a health product. This is my first example of kid obesity.
Michelle Obama had started a health campaign to try decrease the obesity in America. Making a website to help parents and children understand how to make a better lifestyle, “let’s move”. On October 11th 2011 she made a world record of doing 1 minute of jumping jacks with hundreds of kids at the White house. Michelle Obama has defiantly tried to make a difference of the decrease obesity in America.
Without fighting against Child obesity, the world would be seeing a less active tomorrow and smaller generation. Fighting against Child obesity is inspirational because the world would be less active, more unfit and world live shorter if didn’t stand against obesity.
