The reason I chose this topic is because the obesity rate among children has risen drastically is the past few decades and it doesn't seem to stop. Obesity is an issue that affects people around the world but especially in our country. That's why I consider this a very important, i see people including family members that have lifestyle diseases due to them not taking care of their eating habits and its really hard to see them suffer because they were never taught to control their eating habits or to do regular exercise. The percentage of obese children in the United States has tippled in the last three decades and that is very alarming because there are kids everywhere that we choose to ignore but have a problem so I want to raise a voice for them.
