Essay:
Obesity has been identified as one of the top public health crises facing Americans today
because it is increases the risk of other serious medical conditions such as: high
cholesterol, hypertension, sleep apnea, adult onset diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and
depression. In an effort to curb adult obesity, many agencies have turned their attention to
childhood obesity. The government is working to pass legislation to further regulate the
nutritional value of foods offered in the school cafeteria and for school fundraising. Do
you believe the government has a role in managing the obesity crisis? If yes, why? If no,
who should be responsible for managing the populations weight gain and why?
You may use separate or additional sheets of paper if needed.
