In the world that we live in today there are many more opportunities and possibilities for individuals to partake in. Whether it is seeking higher education, participating in activities or sports, or simply the possibilities that technology has given us individuals today not only live with these things, but also live for them. Yet, it comes to no one’s shock that our world today is far from perfect. However, one aspect of life that is serious no matter the age, size, or body of an individual is that of obesity and the lifelong effects that can be associated with it.
Obesity is when an individual is clearly over a health weight for their age, body, and height. Today, this is not only a problem within the United States but it is an epidemic that contributes to the death of many each and every year. There a serious health problems that are associated with obesity such as high blood pressure, muscle disorders, and even heart attacks that result in the death of an individual.
Today, child obesity is being seen more than ever. However, when your child is obese it is not only affecting their body and mind, but also your custody rights. Recently, a child custody case showed that one family lost custody of their child due to the fact the child was severely obese, which resulted in the child being placed into foster care. The child was eight years old and weighed 200 pounds. Although kids will be kids, children are suppose to be cared after by their parents and their welfare should be cared for with the upmost responsibility.
By allowing children to not only eat whatever they want to eat, but continually eat until they see fit to stop you are not only giving them health risks at the moment, but you are ultimately impacting their health for years to come as well as making them rely on the quantity and type of food they have become dependent upon.
At the end of the day, all we want for is our children to be happy. However, remember when you are putting food on their plate that you want them to be happy now and later, and focus on healthy foods that will not only impact them now, but in the future as well.
