Obesity is a major problem in today's society, and there is many things people can do to fix it, they just need the will power. A new scientific study on obesity in young American children has brought more depressing news. It appears we now are starting our children on the path to obesity before they can even eat solid foods. According to the research nearly one-third of 9-month olds are obese or overweight, so are 34 percent of 2-year-olds, the study analyzed a nationally representative sample of children born in 2001. So in conclusion, the children of america are being taught unhealthy eating habits, and they continue to eat that way as they get older.
To help decrease the obesity rate we should teach the new generations healthy eating habits. In doing so they will be more capable of creating a healthy ratio of healthy foods to junk foods when they are older. In the long run they too will be able to help prevent obesity in the future by teaching these healthy eating skills to their family as well. Therefore creating a cycle of healthy eating passed form generation to generation.
