All over the world, societies are facing a growing problem with obesity. This problem affects both children and adults. What are the reasons for this rise in obesity, How could it be tackled?

Around the globe, there are increasing number of people with overweight. There are several reasons for that, but there are
also
ways we can solve
this
. In
this
essay, I will discuss the impact on how electronics have contributed to
this
problem, at the same time, how the
government
could improve
this
situation. There are a few reasons for
this
,
first
, in modern technology, we are constantly distracted with electronic appliances like mobile phone, tablet, and laptop. Because of these appliances are easy to reach, convenient and portable, we tend to focus on these gadgets rather than focus on our diets. Take my personal example, there are several days, I had spent the
last
5 hours seating in a couch, watching Netflix from my laptop while eating a chocolate bar.
In addition
to that, as the parents are busy with works, they tend to let their children choose whatever they like to eat. As
this
small kids are not monitored properly and without exercise, they will follow their parent's seat for long hours and eat more sugary foods.
Therefore
, it is very devastating to see so many children and adults are making the wrong choice between gadgets and diets.
However
, there are solutions to tackle
this
. The
government
could play a major role here. They could impose high taxes to the unhealthy foodstuffs
such
as sugary foods and drinks. When
this
sugary snacks are relatively more expensive than healthy
food
, people tend to buy more nutrition
food
like fruits. Because of
this
, people will store in more of
this
nutrient rich foods, and during their free time they will eat more of
this
even they are seated for long hours.
Besides
that, the
government
should ban most of the
food
advertisement that constantly showing fast
food
is filled with a balanced diet.
This
advertisement tends to be one sided and the report is not truly reflecting the healthy option to the public. So, if the
government
could start to stringent these taxes and bans to these foods with less nutrition,
this
issue will be solved shortly. To conclude,
although
overweight is a serious issue, there are several steps that the
government
and individuals can take to reduce
this
problem. If we are serious to tackle
this
issue, we can make a difference to reduce the total number of obese among our globe.
