Obesity in society today

Over the past 10 years, obesity has become one of the most dangerous problems in the world today. From a certain point of view, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that by the year 2005, nearly 6 billion people over the age of 15 are faced with obesity. The report further indicates that 400 million children under the age of 5 are obese and over 400 million are obese. In this regard, experts' opinion shows that, if the trend is not controlled by 2015, about 3 billion people will face obstacles, facing the challenge of overweighting about 3 billion adults (who).

Obesity is increasingly concerned in today's society. The number of obese and overweight children doubled in the past 30 years (Hotaka). Society is getting more and more attention as children become more prone to life-threatening diseases such as cancer and diabetes (Oliver). As the number of people continues to increase, the search for potential causes has begun. Many people want to condemn caregivers, but it is not a potential problem. - According to public health centers, nearly one-third of children between the ages of 6 and 19 have obesity or risk of obesity. According to statistics, the number of children who are overweight has increased significantly from 1960 to 2002 (boys are too fat in 2005), but the obesity rate between boys and girls is the same. In addition, the prevalence of childhood obesity has nearly tripled in the past 20 years and has increased from 6.5% in 1980 to 18.8% in 2004 (Irwin et al., 2010).

Childhood obesity is related to the school system The controversial epidemic in today's society is childhood obesity and it is causing it. In 2012, over one third of children and adolescents were overweight or obese (childhood obesity). It has more than doubled since 1980. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the proportion of obese children aged 6 to 11 in the US increased from 7% in 1980 to nearly 18% in 2012. - What do the children eat at school? My child started kindergarten this year, so this topic is very important to me. My daughter came home from school and told me that her lunch in the cafeteria hurt her "belly". By the way, after talking with a few mothers, they insisted that the education committee stuffed lunch every day because food was absolutely disgusting and not healthy.
