Childhood Obesity:((

          Childhood obesity in America is increasing with the years. Childhood obesity is a condition where excessive body fat negatively affects a child's health or wellbeing. In my opinion, children that are obese they get it from their parents. It all starts inside of the home. If the parents do not watch or manage what their child or children eats then the child will eat whatever he/she wants. It is not all about just watching what they eat, but also making sure they exercise right. A child should eat like a child not like an adult. If you are a parent, your child should not be eating what you eat. There are some effects to being obese esp. if you are a child. The kid can be emotional depressed, talked about, made fun of, have high blood pressure, sleep problems, heart disease and a number of other things. Having those types of problems as a child, can spill over to when they become an adult. Going through that when you are a child is very depressing because you do not  know any better. The parents are to blame, they fed and fed and fed their child sometimes just to get them out of their face or to shut them up. So, since the parents are not doing anything at home, I feel as though the school should try to do something to prevent childhood obesity from increasing.
