<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">"Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you who you are." –Chinese Proverb. In the last years, childhood **<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">obesity ** <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">has been a matter of concern for society. More and more children around the globe are getting involved in this problem because of the educational quality and feeding habits they learn at home. Childhood obesity is caused by different aspects, such as an unbalanced diet, ilnesses or health issues, and poor physical activity.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">The main cause of childhood obesity is bad eating habits. Most of the kids who eat junk food or sugar-based food at least once a day suffer from plumpness. “About 30% percent of children of America are obese” (American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 2011, p.79). Some of the effects of bad eating habits include, a negative impact on the heatlh, how their bodies look and also how they feel (AACAP, 2011). Not only an **unbalanced** diet affects the health of the kid, sometimes this **<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">upset **<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">is **//__Watch your spacing.__//** generated before birth. **//__Make sure you follow the MEAL plan in your body paragraphs.__//**

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Childhood obesity is also generated by health issues. The most common condition is known as hypothyroidism. This **<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">affection **<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> is caused by genetic memory (Lin, 2008, p.325). Thyroid plays an important role in the development of the human body as it regulates the thyroid hormone, and because sometimes these hormones are produced irregularly, the body tends to grow excessively (Lin, 2011, p83). Risk factor of this ailment tends to increase if the **<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">fellow **<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">**//__"Fellow" is informal. Say, "person" instead.__//** does not exercise. **//__Make sure you follow the MEAL plan in your body paragraphs.__//**

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Another critical factor of childhood obesity is the lack of exercise. People who don’t exercise at least 30 minutes per day are likely to become obesity. According to the Council on Physical Fitness and Sports (2011). “Only 25 percent of kids in grades 9 to 12 receive enough exercise per day”. //Physical Activity Fact.//Because of this reason, Mexico have lots of obese childrens. " According to the most recent national nutrition survey (ENSANUT 2006) in Mexico, 18.4% of the population aged 5 years or older was obese" (Torres-Ornelas, 2011, p.431). <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Lots of causes of why kids are obese, but those 3 aspects are the most common cases. **//__Sentence fragment__//**. **//__Make sure you follow the MEAL plan in your body paragraphs.__//**

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Results of __<span class="wiki_link_ext">eat __well are reflected the your own body. If you don’t practice sports, eat with base on a balanced diet, or attend to Doctor to check possible conditions, you can get obesity. If the parents of the children don’t care about their health since childhood, surely they will get weight problems. Those who eat junk food all day, and also have an illness related to overweight, and do not practice sports, should care more about their health.
