Why is your child overweight? Have you done something wrong? What have they done that has caused this problem? We see overweight children all the time, but when it happens to your child then that is the time to put your concern into action.
In developed nations all over the world – particularly the United Kingdom and the United States – problems with obesity have become such a major issue that they are discussed widely on television, on the Internet, on the radio, and in everyday conversation. In addition to bad eating habits, one of the main problems that causes childhood obesity is societal and relates to the lack of physical activity in our day to day lives.
As the world becomes more complex, technology continues to make advances that encourage us to sit around all day doing little to nothing physically. Why bother when we have video games, computers, and televisions to entertain us? Why bother walking anywhere or riding a bike when we can simply get in a car or take public transportation? What it comes down to is a simple lack of movement in our day to day lives. Yet, even simple measures can help to relieve the burden of child obesity and to keep us all healthy.
It is difficult to calculate exact statistics behind childhood obesity as it relates to the consumption of fast food. What can be confirmed, however, is that changing trends in the way we eat have indeed contributed to the general obesity epidemic, particularly in children and young adults.
