Is the Government Doing Enough About Obesity

About 8 billion adults die each year from obesity (diet). Rachel Epstein wrote a book named Diet and Sickness. And it talks about obesity as a disease. Obesity is an illness with extra body fat, usually beginning in childhood (Epstein 25). Obesity in some adults may threaten life (Epstein 25). It may also cause psychosocial problems (Epstein 25). Obesity can cause diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, kidney disease and other dangers (Epstein 25). Obesity during pregnancy can cause many problems for mothers and babies (Epstein 25).

Obesity is epidemic in adults and children in the United States. In addition, children do not eat enough fruits and vegetables and do not do enough physical activity, so there is a danger of obesity. In addition, children are more likely to suffer from obesity-related health conditions such as hypertension, high cholesterol, stroke, heart disease, diabetes, and pulmonary disease. - Doctors and researchers have done extensive research on children's habits and lifestyles as an important part of society. Today, children are faced with a big problem of obesity. As a result, researchers have learned that healthy habits can greatly influence the future of each child and better understand how children see the healthy diet. Researchers would like to emphasize and prove that the obesity of children in Canada has tripled in the past several decades.

The paradox of contemporary global capitalism is that an estimated 700 million people (including 100 million children) are obese despite the fact that more than 800 million people in the world do not have enough food . Of course, these two are not necessarily directly related. The majority of the world's hunger is occurring in countries suffering from domestic conflicts and serious government functions. However, the epidemic of obesity is more extensive, affecting developed countries and most emerging markets. There are various countries' relationships between obesity and poverty, but it is noteworthy that obesity rates in the rich countries such as the United States, the UK, Canada, etc. are the highest in the world.
