No More Junk Food

In many countries the problem with fatness is getting bigger and bigger. "Research shows that young people are watching too much television and eating too many snacks at the same time. Many of them are not getting enough exercise." What can we do about the problem with fatness? What should be done to encourage young people to do physical activity? We have to do something about this problem. If you want a healthier life style, you have to eat healthy, and stop eating all that junk food and all the small snacks. You have to eat healthy and exercise every day. For a start we could teach the children about healthy food in school. Instead of only learning to cook in home economics children could learn about the difference between healthy and unhealthy food. We could also serve healthy food in the canteens at schools instead of chips and crisps and all sort of unhealthy food. In the US many children get there parents to drive them to school instead of bicycling or walking. And after school they go to the closest Mac Donald's to get something to eat. Afterwards they go home to watch telly instead of joining exercises or sport activities. Many people and experts are trying to figure out ways to get the teens to exercise. One expert called David Allison got an idea as he says "There is a way for parents to get their snack-eating teens from the family sofa : A bicycle connected electrically to the TV. To see their favourite shows, they have to pedal." He also suggests:" charging money to ride the lift. This way more people would use the stairs!" It is a good idea with the bicycle connected to the telly, but I think that it is better to get the fat children outside with their friends doing some sport or exercise together. I think his idea about the lift is clever, but it does not solve the problem. The overweight people could go on a diet and visit a dietician who could teach them to eat healthier. I think that it is important to start the day in a good way for example with a bowl of cornflakes, most of the fat children in the US do not eat breakfast, and it is good to eat small snacks like fruits and vegetables. It is recommended that you eat six fruits or vegetables a day, but I think that too many people eat chocolate and cakes instead. To make people eat more fruit you could lower the prices on fruit and vegetables, and raise the price on cakes, sweets and other unhealthy food. Many children get a lot of other diseases if they are too fat. Doctors could also prescribe exercise for overweight children. Grownups should exercise 30 minutes a day and children have to exercise at least 60 minutes every day. If we do some of the things I have suggested, maybe some people would live a healthier
