a threat more severe than terrorist attacks
The whole world was shocked by the terrorist attack at the World Trade Center on September 11th, 2001. Those terrorist attacks are like nightmares to those peace-loving people in the world. Obesity is said to be more severe than terrorist attacks. Maybe there is exaggeration in this, but we can realize the seriousness of this obesity problem in the world from this exaggeration.
America is now faced with this obesity problem. Statistics show that 60% of American people have overweight problem. Compared to the situation in 1970, the amount of obese children has doubled, which the medical community call “obesity epidemic”. The people died from the high blood pressure, diabetes or other diseases caused by obesity every year are far more than those killed in any terrorist attack. A famous journalist Greg Critser pointed that the overweight of Americans is inevitable because the food companies sell more foods at present. The increase of population is much slower than that of food products. It is said that food companies are producing 3800 calories for every American everyday, which exceeds 1000 calories than the amount the body needs. In this case, food companies will spare no effort to advertise their foods, because the more people eat, the better for them.
Similarly, there is also obesity problem in big cities of China. The number of obese children caused by over nutrition is increasing sharply. Even in some poor areas in the countryside, the obesity problem also shows up.
Quite a lot people consider obesity as a rich man’s disease, which at least shows people’s living standard has been improved. In fact, Greg made botanical slimming clear that there are more fat people among the poor than the rich. One reason is that food companies are dumping cheap foods, which will make people gain weight. Contrary to the past, meat products are becoming cheaper while the green foods like wild vegetables are extremely expensive so that they can only be found in senior restaurants. McDonalds and KFCs are flourishing and we can find them densely spotted in every big city.
Obesity not only does harm to the functions of organs in our body but also results in mental problems. Nowadays, obesity, along with AIDS, drugs and alcohol, is regarded as one of the persistent ailments troubling people’s health. Now let us see some statistics about obesity.
According to the International Obesity Task Force, 1 out of 4 is overweight in the world. In particular, 312 million people among the world population are overweight and 1.7 billion people need to lose weight. According to their reports, the overweight population has exceeded the starving population and obesity becomes a critical social issue for both developed and developing countries. It is said that developing countries need to shoulder the burden especially, for there are lots of obese people even in India. 3 million people die from B type diabetes related to obesity problem. This kind of diabetes will lead to heart disease and kidney failure and the amount has been up to 154 million, more than the people with AIDS. Obesity itself may cause heart problems and 17 million people die from heart disease and other kinds of circulation system diseases.
People become fat because of the lack of exercises. 20% of men in America are fat and the number of fat men and women are respectively 18% and 24%. China also has this obesity problem. Data show that there are 200 million overweight people and 60 million obese people in China. The problem of children obesity is also a severe problem in China. The rate of obese children in big cities is 8.1%, and the rate of adult obesity has increased by 39%. The population of obese people is still increasing at the present time. This really concerns us a lot because obesity will lead to a bad health condition and will indirectly influence the future of a country’s construction. Aware of this, we should pay more attention to this and reduce the junk foods in children’s diet. Ignorant parents will do harm to a child’s whole life. I know one child who is fat from a very young age.
