Fast food... The fastest way to childhood Obesity!

Children around the world love to have fast food meals such as McDonalds, Hardess, Dairy Queen etc…

However, fast food is one of the major factors of childhoodobesity. According to study by Qatar University, 35% of Qatari children areobese.

Most of fast food restaurants in Doha open for 24 hoursevery day and all of them got home delivery service. Moreover, a lot of families in Qatar depend on fast food delivered to them twice a day (lunch & dinner). Qataris always have fast food delivered to them especially during weekends and holidays. As a result the percentages of obese children in Qatar are already high and will increase more and more.

So here’s what we can do:

·         1-Government should not allow small branches near the neighborhoods open around the clock.

·       2-  Parents must teach their children about how bad fast food is for their health.

·        3- Parents should regulate how many fast food meals their children eat monthly.

·       4-  Parents suppose to offerhealthy meals to their children.

·      5-   Government should encourage and multiply the number of fast food restaurant which provide healthy food such as Sub-way.

6-Government should start advertising campaigns supporting vigorous diet for children. 

in that fresh air they should have a  fresh meal too!
