Over the last few years it is commonly accepted that the level of obesity amongst children has significantly increased. This essay shall explore some of the reasons for this and the impact they are having.

First of all, one of the main reasons for the surge in obesity is the increased consumption levels of fast food among children. Companies such as KFC and MacDonald's spend millions of pound per year on advertising that specifically targets the youth of a nation. The impact this has on them is that these targeted children are led to believe that fast food is part of a normal diet and can be eaten daily. Of course, with the food containing large amounts of sodium and fat, it should be no surprise that obesity in children which leads to fatty liver disease, high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes in the long term is now commonplace.

One other major contributing factor to the surge in obesity is the lack of exercise that children are doing. In the past children would walk to school, play outside until dark, or play football in the park. These days, however, children are more likely to found staring blankly at their smartphone reading the latest chatter on their preferred social network. This lack of exercise is causing children to not use up many of the calories they are consuming, hence the increase in body fat which is stored around their body. A recent study from the University of Virginia showed that in the last ten years, the average twelve year old child now uses approximately 3,000 less calories per week during their daily life than an equivalent child ten years ago and is at twice the risk of developing heart disease or diabetes..

Overall, the increase of sedentary lifestyles among children and the increased consumption of fast food have caused the surge in obesity. This has led directly to increased health related issues which the government should address as a matter of urgency.
