Lack of Exercise
If we could help change some of these factors, just maybe we could lower the rates of this disease. Parents encouraging kids to be more active, even if its just play sports or run around playing tag. Socioeconomic factor, they did have the resources most cities do. What I mean is sometimes they have to go so far out to a supermarkets and they do not have safe places to go play sports or playing outside. What the government can try to do is make supermarkets closer to these cities that need them. Another thing they can do is to make a community center for those kids. In this community center they can make teams and have leagues to play in. I believe this will encourages children to want to go and play.

Child obesity is a problem. Anyone who says it is not is lying. I definitely think that the price of healthy food should be lowered. Most people have a problem with the price of organics rather than the taste. If healthy food was more accessible then people would be more likely to eat it. Not only that people need to put more emphasis on working out. Not only is it healthy for your body but your mind. There are so many reasons being in shape can help you mentally. Children are very delicate and having an issue with weight will likely stick with them for a long time if not forever. We are a society that is in love with looks and skinny is in. Even though I am against this standard I do believe in being healthy. You don't have to be skinny, just healthy.
I think it is a very sad situation that is happening more and more but i feel like there is almost nothing to do but rely on the parents to watch what their ids are doing and feed them healthy amounts of food. Kids now a days don't play out side or burn energy as much, they just want to watch TV or play games.
I think child obesity comes from either genetics or the parents eating habits. Whatever you eat, your child eats. If you want to prevent child obesity, try eating better and showing your kids how to eat better. Teach kids that it's important to eat foods good for you so they can grow into an active, energized, healthy adult
What is you take on Child obesity and what do you think should happen about it?
I believe the biggest problem is the parents allowing kids to consume fast food. They eat processed food, get limited exercise, and spend way to much time indoors. All children need exercise daily and nutrition foods. It's the parents responsibility to make sure their are receiving exposure to the basic needs.

i believe many are obese because they choose to eat that way simply because the bad foods are all they have in their home and the prices of healthier foods are very high.
Childhood obesity is a growing problem in our world today, and there are measures being taken, for rexample, the no child left behind act, to help this issue
The issue of child obesity is not just about the matter of weight gain but about the serious health problems. I’ve researched the causes of child obesity and found that being overweight and obese in childhood correlate with health disease like diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Parents’ intervention is one of the most effective ways to prevent children from being overweight and obese because they are best persons to guide or encourage their child to get appropriate treatment from the experts.
I think child obesity is a very serious matter. No child should be overweight before their life even really begins. As a parent you should make sure your child is eating the right thing and getting some type of daily exercise to keep them healthy and in shape. If you let kids do or eat what they want or really don't care of the effects, things like child obesity happen. I also believe parents should be somewhat penalized for this because it's their job to start their child off on the right path. If they start early with these bad habits, unfortunately they will not live the long healthy life they deserve.
