HOMEWORK

According to some reports, one in six children in the US is obese and more than 50% of obese children become obese adults. Who is to blame and who is responsible for this? I surely believe that they are not the children themselves. If everyone just took personal responsibility for his or her own weight gain, we wouldn't have to spend a huge amount of money dealing with obesity. Regardless of age, exercising more and eating less are the best way to keep their proper weight and their good health. Healthy eating starts at home, so what the parents think of healthy food must be closely related to their children's obesity. Nowadays, many parents who both have jobs are so busy that they can't cope with their children's weight gain. Even though both parents are so busy having their jobs, they need to pay attention to their children's choices of foods and drinks. On top of them, our government couldn't be freed from the responsibility in terms of making some policies. The government should implement some strong policies related to controlling fast food restaurants. And it needs to provide parents with useful information and warning about children's obesity through the media. However, tackling for children's obesity is especially the responsibility of everyone who lives and works with children such as parents, teachers and school administrations.
