Child obesity

**Very fat. A simple definition. Far to simple for the crisis running though our nation.**


 * Children become obese by the lack of exercise and the increasing amount of children going to fast food resteronts such as Mcdonalds. Obesity in children has become very important as it can cause major health problems when they get older. Did you know that 1 in 4 children are obese so if you had 32 people 8 of them would be obese.**


 * Low income is sometimes the cause of child obesity because it is usualy cheaper to buy fizzy drinks and other suger packed drinks than it is to buy fresh spring water. It is the same with food as well. It is cheaper to buy fries than it is to buy a salad samwich.**


 * To stop yourself from becoming over weight or obese you need to eat healthily and cut down the amount of times you go to fast food places like Mc donalds and do some more exercise.**


 * Child obesity is a major problem in New Zealand. Kids should be doing more exercise and eating healthily but instead they watch TV and eat junk food.**
