Child obesity has become a global problem. Approximately 46% of men in England and 32% of woman are overweight. If you think about it that’s just about 50% of the men in England are over weight. But what’s worse, further 17% of men and 21% of woman are obese. Obesity in adults has roughly doubled since the mid 1980’s. About 28%of men and 27% of woman aged 16-24 in England are obese or overweight.

Child obesity has become a big problem since most children want to stay inside all day playing video games or playing on the computer and watching television maybe this is because obese children don’t want to take the risk of being bullied. The **__united states__** now have the highest obesity rate over any country in the world. An estimated 300,000 people die each year from health problems relating to obesity. Today about 50 million American adults are obese. Most obese children have health hazards such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol leaves, atherosclesis, osteoarthritis, gall bladder disease, seep apnoea and weakened joints. Obesity has a Hugh effect on deprecation and low self esteem in children. Childhood obesity not only has health consequences for children, but increases the risk of premature death in adulthood. 66% of woman that were over weight in their teenaged years are most likely to die at least 10 before they should. If parents or the caregivers don’t sharpen up pretty quick on what they are feeding their children they might loss them later on in life.
 * Affects **

Children can become obese from a range of things, lack of exercise, emotional eating, in some cases it’s from **__jeans__** they’ve picked up from a family member. But in most cases it’s from the food that parents are feeding their children. You would think that parents of obese children would feed those fruit and veggies but they don’t. Maybe the parents don’t have enough money. You would think that the government would do something about this obesity crisis but, no. In some ways the government is trying to help with things like project energise and active schools. But it’s not the movements fault for this obesity epidemic, it’s the food industries fault. Junk food is so incredible cheap that it some how is poisoning our minds into buying it. Maybe the MSG in the junk food has got into our minds. They need to do something about this like limiting the amount of junk food in supermarkets.In most supermarkets there are one or one and a half isles of healthy food like fruit and vegetables. All the rest is pure sugar and junk. In some supermarkets a bottle of coke or fizzy is cheaper than a bottle of water. A packet of chips or bisects are cheaper than a bag of apples or mandarins. Its like they don’t want us humans to be healthy, it’s like they want to kill the nation.
 * The food industries **

** Solutions diets and exercise plans ** Obese children are always being bullied and pushed around. But there are ways to prevent this from happening or to help with weight problems. An easy way to exercise each day is to go for a family walk in the park or going for a bike around the park or the streets. There are also diet plans like Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig or even the lemon detox diet if you had the extra money. If not you could always go on a diet of fruit, vegetables and nuts always have your 5+ a day. Always drink water never have coke or fizzy. Stay away from any products with gluten, sugar, yeast, MSG, saturated fat and any artificial flavours or colouring. So instead of buying white bread at the supermarket switch two organic gluten free bread. Eat nuts instead of chips, drink water instead of fizzy and coke, and always cut all animal fat off of your meat. Instead of staying inside all day stand up to bullies and go for a walk.

In this report I have reported about the statistics of obese and over weight children and adults, some affects that obesity comes with, the food industries, how you can prevent obesity, diet and exercise tips and what to stay away from when food shopping for your family. I hope that this report changes the way that you and your family are eating, and remember, the future of your family is in your hands.
