When it comes to the topic of obesity being a medical problem, most of us will readily agree that this is not true. Where this argument usually ends, however, is on the question of can this be blamed on the parents. Whereas some are convinced that this is a true medical problem all around the United States, others maintain that this can’t be. I believe there are many different things that contribute to obesity. For example, with parents working so much, they are not home a lot to cook dinner. Therefore children are going out and getting food at fast food restaurants. In Zinczenko’s text he talks about how obesity is causing more and more diabetes around the world. Well, if parents were home to help their children eat healthier it may stop them from being obese which will reduce the diabetes rate.
