THE FINAL DRAFT

Obesity today is a problem that strongly affects Chileans, we are currently the country with one of the highest rates of obesity in the world and this is reflected by citizens, workers, students, among others who they live day by day with overweight.

This problem can be approached from different perspectives and with multiple responsible, a first option may be that those responsible are the same people who suffer from overweight or obesity, since they are the ones who do not take care of themselves by maintaining a balanced diet, not exercising and neglecting his life style.

Another option is that the culprit is the state, which is taking measures of healthy eating very late, it is difficult to implement this when there are multiple fast food establishments established in the country encouraging people not to eat healthy.

And a third option of the cause of obesity is the two previously mentioned together, since people, for different reasons, maybe for work or studies, neglect their health and nutrition, so they often eat in places of junk food for not having time or for not finding other places of healthy food, which would be a problem for the state to not implement more healthy food places.

In conclusion, the responsibility of being able to reduce the obesity indexes in the country is the responsibility of all, not only of the people or the state, but a joint work is required to make that the obesity does not continue to predominate in the life of the people and not continue to affect the health of Chileans. For this it is necessary to educate the children telling them what foods they should eat and what not, in addition to ending the custom of rewarding them with food or sweets every time they perform a good action or a task correctly, in addition to changing the eating habits in the houses, eating more vegetables and not fried foods. Finally, it is a good idea to implement the exercise in the families' lives on weekends or free days so that it becomes more enjoyable.
