CAUSE AND EFFECT

The percentage of overweight children in western society has

increased by almost 20% in the last ten years. Why has this
phenomenon occurred and what does it mean for the future
generations?

In a truthful manner, there is quite a lot to be said

about the above issue. Personally, I gather that there are
two focal causes why this phenomenon occurs. The first one
is that there is promotion of poor food nutrients and the second
one is that there is limited parent monitoring on children’s meals.
That being the case, there is a certain chain of reactions that
will also be examined
From first principles, the main cause of this problem is the
poor diet that is being advertised on a regular basis. Strictly
speaking the point that I want to focus on is that over the last
decade there has been a prolific increase in the number of fast food
restaurants. The food in these places has been proven to be very
unhealthy, and much of the advertising is targeted at children who
are much more gullible. Given as an example could be the
bombardment of junk food chain stores that show off their
collaboration with celebrities who consume these fatty and sugary
meals. Unfortunately, teen fans wish to copy every step of their
favorite megastars. All this frequent consumption leads to various
health problems such as diabetes. This means a child has to be
injected with insulin for the rest of one’s life.

Heading further, a second reason is that parents work a good

deal of hours and have little time to prepare wholesome meals for
the family. In plain English, the thing that is important to
mention is that a lot of food consumed is processed food,
especially with regards to ready-made meals which are a quick and
easy option for parents who are working hard. Additionally, parents
who are overly tired tend to give bad example to their kids by
consuming all this insubstantial food quality themselves. This can
be easily supported by the following example. So, a parent
who arrives late at home to a hungry family needs to prepare
something quickly so as to satisfy their appetite. Sadly, instead of
cooking healthily at the oven or the air- fryer prefers to fry on the
pan a meal or even order a take away that can be ready to
consume on the instant.

All in all, there are two fundamental causes with evident

consequences. Firstly the role model of non- qualitative food
habits .Secondly the lack of good- nutrition role models within the
family. Society must ensure steps are taken to prevent this
drawback from deteriorating further.
