Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are 36 reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact 37 we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, _38 fried chicken and ice cream, 39 low price. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups 40 seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there 41 fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that 42 parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I _43 this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate 44 healthy food, or are always allowed to choose 45 they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this 46 throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days 47 very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they 48 home, they sit in front of 49 or their computers and play computer games. 50 is this an unhealthy pastime (消遣),it also gives them time to eat more 51 food. 52 they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above 53 the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to 54 young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and 55 eating habits.
