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.
