STATEMENT: It's parent's fault, that children are overweight. Hi guys, STATEMENT: It's parent's fault, that children are overweight. This is my opinion on the statement above: I agree with this statement because parents can play an important role on avoiding their children getting overweight by not eating out in fast foods like McDonald's or by not allowing them eat some certain unhealthy and/or fatty foods. But, many parents are unfortunately not aware of dangers of different diseases caused by overweight. Some people believe that it is the fault of fast food companies that makes the children overweight, because they encourage the children or their parents consuming their food using distracting marketing strategies and advertisements. But I am not agree with them, because those companies contribute to the economy of our country and yet, people can think and consider the consequences of eating in those restaurants, but it doesn't apply to the children, of course. _____ I appreciate any of your corrections, comments or ideas writing this in some other way, like using other words or.. . Thanks, Aziz.
