Healthy Food at school

(In Chile)

Do you know how is the eating habits in your country? Do you know what type of food eat the child's at school? Well here I show you the statistics from the obesity in Chile.

Healthy foods at school is a problem today in Chile. According to Ocde Chile is the 6th country with more infant obesity around the ages of 5 and 17 in the world! This is because the kids today are in they house playing video games and they don't play much at the parks or playing football or play any games outdoor. Another thing why the children are obese is for poor eating habits, more of the kids do not eat fruit and vegetables they prefer the junk food cause it is more “delicious” but this type of food is the responsible of this obesity. The last but not least thing is that in the schools of the country don't practice so much sport and sold so much junk food is sold.

In my opinion the parents need to control their children and demand the school to do more exercise and remove the junk food from the kiosk and vending machines, but always the child has to do his part, they can play outside and less time playing videogames or in the computer, they also eat fruits and snack and vegetable, at lunch eat junk food sometimes like 1 or 2 pieces per week,it is more than enough. So..... what are you looking at this, go and play at the park with your friends!
