I think that obesity is a very serious problem all over the
world, specially in western countries where it has increased a lot.
Obesity can cause serious physical and psicological illnesses,
such as heart deseases, diabetes, certain cancers and it might be the cause of
other eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia.
In my opinion, I think that if there is someone or something
to blame, we might say that the type of life that most of us live provoke this
type of sickness.
Health authorities must take an active role in trying to
prevent obesity at all ages, specially with kids. Healthy children will be
healthy adults in the future.
Unfortunatelly, I think that people who are obese suffer a
lot and become psychologically ill, since nowadays the stereotype of successful
people is related to “beatiful people” (like the “American boy”) That is to say
that obese are not considered socially or for some posts because of their
physical appearance. I understand that such an attitude is discriminative but,
very sadly, that is the way it is.
