Summary, etc The preponderance of obesity among young children and adolescents is a major health hazard in all nations. Everyone is concerned about the problem, as overweight and obese children will turn into overweight and obese adults tomorrow and suffer from all the health problems and incur health care costs associated with obesity. A varied and nutritious diet is essential for children as they require lots of energy while they grow. Children consume food that is rich in fat and sugar. They consume more food to increase their energy levels. But they concentrate more on sedentary activities than on brisk physical activities. The unused energy is deposited as fat in their body and over a period of time leads to obesity. It is evident that food markets and the media are some of the major causes for rise in obesity since they promote and market food which is unhealthy.
