    Obesity is a serious problem that increases year after year and affects the lives of many Americans. It is a problem that needs to be eradicated, but who is responsible for this problem? Some argue that individuals are responsible for their own weight; that it is a private concern. Some others, on the other hand, argue that it is a public concern; therefore, the government should play a significant role to stop reduce obesity from the public domain. They also argue that advertisements for junk food are factors that increase obesity. As persuasive as the advertisements can be and even with the help of the government, it is our decision to not eat healthy and end up in a state of obesity.

Food where they didn’t make their self, therefore they don’t know what they are eating. In today’s society faces an obesity epidemic; to remedy this issue America should consider creating a national weigh in. A national weigh in would be a requirement for all Americans to go to their medical clinic and be updated on their weight.

We can’t help some of the health issues that cause us to die like cancer, diabetes, heart problems, and anything else imaginable. When you read the word “diabetes” did you think of someone that is overweight? Our human race is very quick to judge that everyone thinks that when someone has diabetes they are automatically overweight. People don’t realized it at the time, but no matter whether people are overweight, the richest person in the world, or the hottest supermodel on television we all end up in the same place, buried somewhere in a cemetery.
