=__Childhood Obesity__; How does fast food restaurants influence childhood obesity?.=

For many years since the 1950's childhood obesity has been a big problem in america. During my research I have found 3 main reasons how fast food can have a very negative affect on obesity and these three reasons are:


 * It risks death at early age
 * Low's down self-esteem
 * Can effect academic skills

Death at an early age: It is known that children who eat fast food everyday will not make it past their 50's. It causes many diseases and can cause high-blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. Most people who eat fast food are more likely to get cardiovascular disease. Fast food increase the chance for children to get asthma too. People with obesity are 92% more likely to get asthma symptoms which are wheezing, breathlessness and chest tightness. Eating fast food can also cause liver disease, all the fat builds up in the liver cells. Alcohol and fast food are now known as the top leading problems to liver failure. Fast food can also lead to having a stroke and vision loss, it can clog up your arteries and you can die. It is found that one-third of cancers are diet related. Obesity can cause cancer to the colon, esophagus and kidney. Obese women are most likely to get uterine cancer.

Low's down self-esteem: It is only found in girls who most likely have low self-esteem, it affects their behavior and they can get anxiety and have sadness. Low self-esteem leads to more eating. It doesn't help when children get teased/bullied in school, that just make the problem worst. During your teenage years is when your body goes through the most changes. You go through physical and emotional growth. What you eat may also affect your mood. Healthy foods can make you happy and energetic and fast food can make you depressed and lazy. = = Can effect academic skills: Fast food can effect you academically because your brain is not getting the right nutrition that it needs. It mostly effects boys academically and girls mentally. Math and reading may be the hardest subjects for boys in school due to fast food. Fast foods can cause the brain and body to become very lazy. Fast food can affect you on test and mathematically, it can be hard for children to understand the mathematical concepts and equations.

In conclusion fast food restaurants can help with obesity by causing death at and early age from many diseases, making the brain slow so that children wont be able to perform academically and lowering their self-esteem.
