Why I think 33 percent of children in America are overweight is mainly because parents don't eat healthy so that's sometimes causes kids not to eat healthy. Another reason I think a lot of kids are overweight is because most schools don't have a balanced lunch menus, the last reason being some people just don't care.
Form my personal experience, I've noticed that a lot of parents don't eat healthy. I think that's why a lot of kids don't eat healthy. Which is why it causes kids to be overweight. For example I like fried food, and my kids grew to like a lot of fried foods. So I think that's part of the reason a lot of kids are overweight.
33 percent of America's youth are overweight mainly because of school lunch, I think, cause it is not balanced If you ask me school lunches are more about popular food than health food. That causes kids to eat unhealthy. That is why I think one of the reasons for kids being overweight is, they are not eating healthy at school.
I think some people don't care about their weight and health. Because 1/4 of kids are overweight. For instance there are lots of people I know that don't know how to cook. So they just go eat out at fast food restaurants. So that's one reason I think people don't care about their weight.
Kids are overweight in America because parents don't eat healthy. There are also a lot of unbalanced school lunch menus that I think is a big part of obesity in America. Most of all I think people just don't care. That's why I think kids are overweight.

Obesity in America
by Brittany
It is actually very sad how the people of America are not only gaining rapid amounts of weight. But also not choosing to do anything about it in their own benefit.
A whopping 32% of American children are obese, but this doesn't stop at just the youth, it only begins with them. All over America there are factors majorly contributing to these rapidly climbing rates, or weights, per se. For example, fast food chains are making a killing off of these people, who feel as though food is similar to their personal preferenced drug. Sure, fast and easy might be looking good on television, but not the effects you'll see when looking in the mirror after eating it day after day. And think, just how big will you be by the time you're a full grown adult from a kid?
In the following paragraph I will point out some of the obvious influences over our children, which results in some of these devastating statistics. Kids are enrolled in school at a young age, and most every school has worked to improve the meals served to our children. People have fought against the unhealthy and non-nutritious servings offered in public schools. But then you've got the people who reserve the right to allow their children the right to choose lunch for themselves. But at the expense of climbing obesity rates along with health problems it brings? Some people's genetics are more susceptible to becoming overweight. Truly, at any rate, every individual possesses the right to do something about their physical condition.
There still remains the percentage of citizens who believe in eating right and exercising to be the key to staying in good health. Yet there will always be the unmotivated, lazy group of Americans, who will remain just the same if not pound for pound, in their fat stupor. We live in the land of the free, and hese people are free to live how they please. And it it means that they'd learn to adapt to the lifestyle, so be it. It seems like less and less people are concerned by it nevertheless. Ultimately, this is their right as citizens.
In overall conclusion, the people of the United States are specifically one of two ways, or there's always the grey area on the scale. For those of indifference. America enables freedom, ensures your own kind of unique living style. Makes it all possible.

Childhood Obesity
by Helen
Topic: Why do you think 32% of American children are overweight or obese?
I think that 32% of American children are overweight or obese due to a number of factors. The original family as we know it has diminished over the years. The economy has caused numerous changes in the way we govern our schools and daycares. Attention on weight loss and nutrition has become one of the largest money making schemes today.
The original family as we know it has diminished over the years. We have more single parent families now than we've had in a long time. We have more married couples, where both parties work, in the household than ever before. This creates stress on families, where it is so much easier to order out or pop in a pizza. Parents are overworked and have no time to prepare food that is healthy for the children. Their intentions are good but to prepare a good healthy meal is very time consuming and that only adds to a stressful day.
The economy has taken a slide downward where you could at least depend o the schools and daycares to provide a healthy breakfast and lunch. To save money in the school system, they have resulted in pre-packaged food. The schools and daycares now rely on foods that can be microwaved and maybe an apple or banana may happen to make its way on the child's tray.
Attention on weight loss has become one of the ways companies excel today. They have actors and actresses to show how they have lost weight and can still eat what they want. The companies offer success you can't do by yourself. You have to purchase their program which includes food, counseling and sometimes a gym membership. This industry is grossing millions of dollars. To eat healthy is very expensive through these companies. Their advertisement offers hope. All Americans love hope. Actually everyone loves hope.
In closing, we as parents need to step up to the plate. Our children do not need a choice of what they eat. We need to choose for them and this needs to be a healthy choice. Let's not rely on the schools and day care to make the right choices. Let's make their lunches and ensure ourselves that they will eat healthy. Set aside a time to eat at the dinner table. Eating dinner together will mold you to making a balanced dinner. It will come natural to you. Don't get caught up in the weight loss industry. They cannot offer you anything that you can't offer yourself with a little determination and motivation. Involve your children in setting the table. I guess it all comes down to the good old days. Cut off the TV -- play a board game like Twister for fun exercise. Remember it starts at home.

Agree or Disagree: You Can Eat Anything You Want As Long As You Exercise
by Tanya
Food I think is very important in moderation. Most things you eat can be good for you.
Now, exercise is great for you, I agree on that. If you eat anything and exercise well, that can be beneficial only if you do it often. When you eat all types of food and don't get physical exercise then, it's not going to help you.
Once in a while you can eat anything and not exercise. But, contantly eating and no exercise to help burn off the food can lead to medical problems to your body.
I believe that you have to do both in good ways, not too much of one and too little of another. You need both exercise for your body, and food to keep you going.
Just not so much of either thing. Balance one over another daily.

Fast Food Restaurants: Guilty
People think that fast food restaurants are responsible for the amount of obesity and other health problems in the United States. I would have to agree because fast food doesn't have healthy foods in it. There are fats, oils, and greases in most of the fast food. The advertising they put out there really can suck you into eating fast food regularly and on a daily basis.
At fast food restaurants they may have some healthy foods as toppings to a hamburger like lettuce and tomato, but they are not a whole serving and don't come with all the nutrients they should. There are plenty of other healthy foods you would not find at fast food restaurants such as apples, oranges, watermelons, pears, peaches, and cantaloupes. Those healthy foods are naturally grown with no fat and are very good for the body. They have nutrients that most foods do not.
The way the fast food is cooked and served after purchase is not healthy for the body at all. There are fats in them that many people already know about. They see it with their own eyes as employees drop a basket of french fries or tater tots into grease. There is so much fat in grease and oils and leftovers from other servings that don't make it out of the frying station. all of this combined can really have an effect on a person and do some serious damage to the body. I believe there are ways that fast food places could improve a lot in serving meals that are significantly better and much safer.
This is where the people become the victims. The advertising sucks you in in the time it takes to have a whole meal ready to be eaten. Some people cannot control what they eat or what their appetite is. This is where fast food restaurants come in to play with their scam to serve you unhealthy food in a very quick amount of time. Sometimes people don't realize it. They're so hungry that all they see is a big burger and fries, and it looks delicious and so good when it really is not healthy for you. The taste could definitely have a person coming back the next day ordering more off the menu.
This is why I believe they are responsible for serving unhealthy food to people. It's their product and their food, and they're cooking it and preparing it for you to eat in an amount of time which is very unhealthy to a person. If they advertise it to make it look like something it's really not, then yes, I believe it's them at fault. They're already hiding enough as it is by the advertisement to make it look healthy and good . That alone should tell people a lot, but some people cannot control it. That is why I believe fast food restaurants are at fault for unhealthy foods that they supply to people in the United States.

Eating and Exercise
by Richard
You can eat whatever you like as long as you exercise. Many people feel that way, but I disagree. You have to worry about health issues, such as heartburn, blood pressure rising, and food diseases. Exercising helps your body, but you have to maintain a healthy diet.
Eating too much and trying to burn the weight off may cause chest pains. Those chest pains are called heartburn. You have to keep a balance to resolve those pains. You can't eat greasy foods because it clogs your chest. Watching what you eat can keep heartburn from happening,
Eating foods with too much sugar and exercising may result in high blood pressure. Exercising doesn't reduce the chance if you're constantly feeding yourself junk. You must watch the level of sugars in the foods you eat. Try to stay away from the foods that contain high sugar levels.
Watching what you eat can keep you away from food diseases. In today's world many types of food carry diseases; diseases that exercising can't cure. You have to read expiration dates also to keep from gaining a food poison. Exercise helps your body, but it doesn't cleanse your food.
You must watch what you eat because exercising is only a step towards being healthy. Although many people disagree; many are unhealthy. A high population has or had heartburn, high blood pressure, or has had a food poison. Those are things exercise can't cure.

Fast Food Restaurants' Responsibility
by Saima
I do agree that fast food restaurants are responsible for the amount of obesity and other health problems in the United States as I have seen many people who most the time have their lunch and dinner at fast food restaurants and are suffering from obesity.
All the food stuff prepared in fast food restaurants is fried and cheese is used in it. This is the main cause of obesity. For instance, burgers and sandwiches, which are liked by most people, have cheese and mayonnaise in them. Fries also cause fatness, and they are mostly served with all food stuff in fast food restaurants. And as we know the United States is a very busy country. Its people don't have time to cook at home. So while working, instead of going home or bringing lunch with them from home, they directly go to fast food restaurants and have their meal over there.

Fast Food and Nutrition
by Aleem
Fast food means meats and fried foods. These are unhealthy food. These restaurants are not responsible. People can watch their foods.
What nutrition in foods is healthy or unhealthy? Carbs, sodium, fiber, vitamin, protein, iron, these are nutrients. Do you know how many calories are in your food? We take vitamins from fruit, fiber from wheat, protein from meat and dairy product. Some fruits and vegetables have iron, for example, apple and spinach.
We should watch our diet. How many carbs does our body need per day? An average of 2000 calories are needed by one normal body every day. I think fast food restaurants are not responsible for our health. We should eat good healthy food and do exercise daily. Then we will stay healthy.

A Defense of Fast Food Restaurants
by Jeremiah
I disagree that fast food restaurants are responsible for obesity and other health related problems. One reason is that the restaurant only serves food. Another reason is health problems come from many different sources, and the last reason is you the person control what you eat.
First of all you can't blame a restaurant for your problem because they only serve the food. If you become obese it's probably due to the fact you already had an unhealthy lifestyle to begin with. Also it depends on how many fatty foods you eat.
Secondly, there is a list of unhealthy things in this world and one can't just be the blame for it. Everyone is different, and their bodies take in nutrients differently. Somebody could be the healthiest person alive, but that doesn't mean they're not up for a stroke.
Finally, you yourself make the decision. There might not even be a difference between home fried chicken or restaurant style chicken and fries. If you know that it's unhealthy to you, why eat it or at least limit the amount you eat.
I feel these are reasonable examples as to why you can't blame a restaurant for serving unhealthy foods or being linked completely to obesity. The restaurant simply sells home made food for people on the go. For every meal that a restaurant serves, you can get the same foods at home. Being unhealthy can be caused by a number of sources or bad genes. You decide what your body intakes and you are the only person responsible for it.

Healthy Foods
by Kiavash
People have different opinions about healthy foods. Different cultures have different methods for preparing food. I think Persian food compared to American food could be a little more healthy; most of Persian food is made of vegetables and herbs, which are fresh not processed, and usually they are boiled not fried.
Vegetables and herbs play a very important role in Persian recipes. The reason could be the geographic position of my country, which is not far from the Equator. That is why there are various types of vegetable and herb. For instance, there is a popular soup called herb soup, which is made of ten different kinds of herbs.
Processed food isn't as popular as fresh foods are. It is very common to cook a meal for a long time. Here in the United States, people are using a lot of processed food which is not healthy but is much easier and faster. For example, in the grocery store, there is more processed food than fresh food.
We don't fry food as much as we boil it and the reason could be the old cultural cooking style. Fried food absorbs oil and then we eat the oil with the food. There is less fat in the food when we boil it. For example different stews are one of Persian's main meals which will be cooked for several hours.
In the end, as we can see, Persian foods are a little healthier than American food. Therefore we have to avoid going to fast food restaurants all the time and buying processed food and find more time to cook healthy food at home instead.

Advocating for Myself
A time when I was an advocate for myself is when I took control and decided to better my health. I did so by changing the habits I had, what I drank, and exercised more.
The first change I made was to cut back on soda and drink more water. Then eventually, I quit soda completely. Once I got past all the headaches, it was easy to quit.
The second change I made was with my eating habits. I stopped eating for something to do, eating after 9 pm and before bed. I stopped going back for seconds, and stopped eating junk food such as chips, and ice cream. I started to control how much carbs I ate and many other things, including eating more fruits.
Another change I made was to try and exercise more. I have difficulty with it due to an injury, but I make do.
These are just some of the changes I've made in the past few months and they have helped. Even the smallest changes can make big changes.

What Is Health?
Health is a very important part of life. If you have bad health, it can lead to diseases, sickness or even death. When you are in good health, you are more likely to live a better longer life. There are few things I consider about health: my diet, weight and regular doctor visits.
If you have a bad diet, there are many complications that can follow later in life. Heart conditions are caused by many sources. If you eat lots of fatty foods or sweets, you may become obese or even have a stroke because of all the fat around your arteries. Also, you may weaken your body's self defense system, which helps you fight off sickness. One way to prevent this is by eathing healthier foods and/or make an eating chart.
Another factor is weight. It is appropriate for you to be at a weight for your age and height. If your weight is not enough you may develop anorexia. That's a disorder where your body does not have enough nutrients and may eventually shut down. Another factor is being too heavy, where you may have shortness of breath, get asthma or heart disease. You much maintain a healthy lifestyle without damaging your body or just do certain activities without stressing yourself.
The last thing is maintaining regular doctor visits. By doing so you will find out more about your body that you may not know. Your doctor can give you advice on helping you stay healthy. They can also do tests to find out if you have any disease or special conditions that need to be treated. By doing this you will stay on top of your health.
If you do these three things you will insure your overall health to be better. Your diets controls what you are able to do. Your weight will be how easily you can do things. Seeing your doctor will insure your wellness. Once you have all of this down-packed you will be much happier.
