The number of children classified as obese is increasing as a terrifying rate because those people who should be preventing it are encouraging it. The parents that allow or encourage children to develop a lifestyle that results in childhood obesity should have their children taken away from them. The cruelty of destroying your child’s life in that way cannot be underestimated or overstated. Children trust their parents to show them the right way to go through life and this trust is being hugely abused by those parents who show their children that obesity is acceptable. An unhealthy view of food and nutrition is communicated from parent to child and remains imprinted for life.
Your lifestyle habits are a reflection of your parent’s attitudes and are set from a very early stage of your life. This means that parents must show a healthy example or doom their children to a life of obesity and related health problems. There has been a lot of press recently about parents being educated on how to encourage their children to lead healthier lives. Laziness and obesity become acceptable traits to have and no steps will ever really change that childhood belief. Encouragement to take part in physical activities, like playing around on a climbing frame, and eat healthily is hugely lacking, instead children are permitted or encouraged to take part in sedentary activities that will not disturb the parents.
Parents are now at fault for just giving in to demands for unhealthy food since it works in the same manner as a narcotic substance. This leads to the child either becoming quiet and sedated or becoming maniacal, hyperactive and disturbed. Neither of these types of behaviours is particularly beneficial to them. While they are going through their shaping years, children who are reliant on computers, junk food and watching television will likely become obese. This beginning leads to a lifetime filled with eating disorders, weight problems and worst of all, severe health problems. This is in complete contradiction to the happy, healthy life that normal parents wish for their children.
For those people, especially children who become obese there will be ramifications for the rest of their lives. Obesity causes diseases and illness in people who have been obese as well as those people that are obese. Children who become obese will suffer from health problems their entire lives as a result. These problems will results in them being a drain on health care resources due to the different ill-effects they can suffer from. No loving parent would ever want their children to suffer through their entire lives. They would also do anything rather than allow their children to suffer throughout their lives from mental problems associated with obesity.
