Obesity
肥胖
Obesity is a problem that is getting bigger and bigger around the world. It really hits rich countries. When people have money, they buy a lot of the wrong food. They become lazy and eat fast food. They also forget about exercise and sit in front of the TV instead. The worrying thing is that more and more children are suffering from obesity. This is a big problem. The number of overweight kids I see today is amazing. I think the reason is quite simple - junk food, video games and the Internet. When I was growing up, I had a balanced diet. I also spent most of my free time outdoors. I spent hours every day on my bike or playing football. Kids today hardly go outside. They are glued to one kind of screen or another - TV, computer or games console.
肥胖问题在世界范围内都越来越严重。这对富裕国家来说确实是一个打击。人们有了钱就会买很多错误的食物。他们变得懒惰，吃快餐。他们也忘记了锻炼，取而代之的是坐着看电视。令人担忧的是越来越多的儿童患有肥胖症。这是个大问题。我今天看到的超重儿童的数量很惊人。我认为原因很简单——垃圾食品、电子游戏和互联网。我成长的路上饮食都很平衡。我大部分的空闲时间都在户外度过。我每天花几个小时骑自行车或踢足球。现在的孩子几乎不出门。他们被各种电子产品吸引住了——有电视、电脑或游戏机。
