Public Health Concerns/ Obesity

Many people seem to see obesity and have come to accept it as normal. Yes, I do agree that many babies are born over normal weight, but in their childhood they are introduced to bad eating habits and start obesity at such a young age. Obesity is not normal and very unhealthy, with obesity comes various different sort of health problems that people develop. Some of the health problems may be, high cholesterol, a short life, respiration problems, social problems, heart problems etc. Since most Americans are obese now obesity isn't seen as an abnormal or unhealthy thing but as a common thing. I highly believe that that should completely stop because obesity is a major problem that is affecting literally everyone! Not only adults are obese but now it is quite common for children to be obese because of the eating habits that their parents have instilled upon them. By looking upon obesity as a major problem and acting immediately to solve this problem millions of lives would be saved and many people will be able to life and have a normal life of which they can be proud of. Many obese people lack a social life for the fact that they  are obese because the people who are not obese mock them or are simply disgusted by them, but the people who are obese should not simply try and combat obesity for the sake of other people but for their own benefit. By acting upon this they will improve their lives 100%.
