In conclusion we have found that a lot of New Zealanders do eat fast food too often and it does lead to problems (Take these obesity statistics for example. In 2006-2007 26.5% of the adult population in New Zealand was obese, 1 in 4 adults! In that same time period 1 in 12, 2 to 14 year olds were obese, 8.3% of the child population and 20.9% of the child population was over weight, one in five children. Yikes!) but there is a way to stop. The government needs to take charge in educating not just children but adults in these causes. We don't care if they are doing it already, obviously they are not doing enough because we have never heard of healthy eating courses or anything like that. Have you? Maybe they need to advertise about it more, but that just shows they are not doing enough.
As you have read through the previous post you would have seen many different horrifying facts about obesity and health problems that are caused by this. You have also read the answer to this. Moderation! If we all had a moderate diet, we would all be healthy and we would have more energy to do the things we love and spend more time doing this. So the next time you are about to scoff down a big mac or about to cram a large bar of daiy milk choclolate into your mouth, stop and think...
Are the consequences really worth it?
