Childhood Obesity: The Fault of a Parent

America is fat. This is a simple fact that everyone knows. Americans are on average 24 pounds more than the 1960s (Hurst). There may not be as much as 24 pounds, but not only influenced adults - Americans are the main victims. The future of the United States is in danger, but everyone seems to be able to blame each other. The latest allegations are directed to the US school system, and some may be surprised to learn that the defendant is the student's parents (beaver).

Who is due to childhood obesity. Because of lack of information, is it due to parents or health authorities? Who is faultless, childhood obesity is very realistic and needs to be dealt with. It has reached the rate of epidemics and has doubled over the past 30 years. Our children are in danger of various preventable health problems. An estimated nine million overweight children, including 4.5 million obese children, have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cancer, asthma and other lung diseases, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, stroke and other chronic diseases This growing epidemic of overweight and obesity at risk

One billion dollars a year. Should parents be responsible for obese or overweight children, or is it due to society? Obesity has been on for years, but it has always been considered a problem of adults. Sadly, obesity has now been found in children and has become one of the most deadly problems the United States faces. Over the past 30 years, childhood obesity tripled, one-third of American children are considered obese. Children with overweight and obesity are at high risk of developing hypercholesterolemia

My lesson is that parents need to play a larger role to support the alleviation of childhood obesity. A child can not fight himself with obesity. My main audience includes children's parents (7-12 years old). This is my main audience as parents of an infant should be aware of the potential dangers of childhood obesity. Children will be affected if their parents do not teach children how to make a healthy decision. Obesity is prevalent in today's America. This is the problem our children face. There are many reasons for this disease. Childhood obesity can be caused by lack of physical activity, unhealthy eating habits and genetic factors. Some of those effects are in cholesterol, blood pressure, heart, blood sugar level and bone. Children are the most active people in our lives. They are always running and enjoying playing, but that is the truth.
