I think that childhood obesity Is slowly becoming a subject of discussion, but I don’t think that it is receive that recognition that it should in the timely manner that it should. This is a problem that is only discussed when it has some type of effect on you, being that your child or family member is dealing with obesity. It is a problem that should be receiving national attention because it has an effect on the future of our society but I do think that a solution is being talked about. Because some elementary school districts are cracking down on the cafeteria services, requiring students to consume fresh fruits during breakfast and vegetables during lunch. They are also providing healthier main course options such are baked foods and sweet potato fries instead on regular French fries. As of right now I don’t think that all of the disciplines are working together because some of them are profiting off of this problem, such as the technology field, and fast foods. I feel that some fields address only their portion of the problem and I feel that some don’t address it at all. For instance, the technology field has a strong impact in this problem because that is half of the reason children don’t go outside and play anymore, but they won’t make any technology to encourage children to get up and go outside. The fast food field will advertise to encourage people to eat healthier foods but from their restaurants which still isn’t the healthiest decision. No, I haven’t changed my position on the solution to the problem because I feel that those are two solid solutions.
