Who resposible our children obesity?
...should play a role model to guide their children eating and living healthy. They should encourage their children do more exercises, cook more homemade food instead of junk food, and give them a cereal and milk on their snack time. If the parents deny their responsibility of their children・s health, what is the reason they can blame to other? Secondly, I think big business has to take partially responsibility on epidemic obesity because their marketing strategy manipulate target to children. One of the overwhelming fast food restaurant McDonald・s manipulate their advertisements misleading people to believe their food is healthy. The fact is that their McDiet meals including high levels of calories, sugar, salt and fat, it can cause people high blood pressure, cholesterol or heart attack if people eating frequently. Furthermore, their marketing strategy manipulates children to consume their products. The statistic shows that McDonald has spent $1.4 billion on advertising to keep public attention and most of the advertising is target on children. For example, McDonald・s offer a toys on their Happy Meals and Mighty Kids Meals. Most of the McDonald restaurant has a playground for children. Children do not concern about the nutrition value but the new toy offer from the meal and play with friend on the playground. I have an experience with my nephew, he always wants to eat McDonald when I asked him to eat. Sometimes my nephew does not eat much when I bring him to McDonald.

After watching the movie ：Supersize Me；, Morgan Spurlock visits some of the elementary and high schools. Some of the school offer high levels of fat, cholesterol and sugar for the lunch. School cafeteria usually offers snack bars, pizza and french fries, chicken nugget and soda for the kids. The too high fat lunch maybe one of the reasons why more children are becoming overweight. Some physician committee claims that the lunch menu serve in school are too rich in saturated fat and cholesterol and too low in fiber and nutrient. Morgan Spurlock interviews an overweight high school girl, which is 14 with over 150 pounds. The girl tries to avoid eating at school and bringing her own lunch box for the lunch. I remember that girl is inherit obesity from her mother, if she still eating school lunch which is high fat maybe getting more obese. During many research results, school lunch program is another reason to make children overweight. School official has responsibility to choose what food is good for the children・s health. Moreover, I think a reason for increase in the prevalence speed of obesity is our lifestyle. As Spurlock claims that America is a fattest nation and sets his own rules for his diet mission. Lack of exercise and limited walking steps under 5,000 ...
