The difference between the United States and India have huge difference in their percentages of of obese people. The reason why India has a very small percentage of obese people is because they have  a very large population that is hard to support because a lot of their agriculture decrease. The amount of fast food and unnutrional foods contributes to the large numbers of obese children in the United States.

Obesity Notes

• At first it was thought that only adults could get type 2 diabetes but due to this wave of obesity that has hit the country, scientists have found that it is also found in children now.
• Numbers of obese children have tripled in the past three decades.
• The eating habits that are established as a children continue into the future and can lead to lifestyle diseases in their adult life.

There are double almost triple the amount of overweight / obese people than there are underweight/ normal.

The numbers keep increasing as the years pass.

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.
