Parents of obese children should be punished for making their children fat.

Parents of overweight children should be held accountable for making their children obese. The essay
agrees with the statement because obesity is one of the leading causes of health issues in children and it
makes children show poor performance in school. So by enforcing accountability in terms of financial
penalty will lead to a reduction of obese children.

Health issues are a huge problem coupled with obesity. It leads to an increase in the number of patients
in the hospital which in turn leads to an overall increased financial burden to the society and
government. More and more fat children are becoming a victim to child hood Diabetes and various
other musculo skeletal diseases. Enforcing fines and questioning the parents will lead to better parental
supervision specially during meal times of kids. A survey conducted by times magazine showed a 25 %t
decrease in health issues in kids when their weight was controlled to an optimum level by better
parental guidance during meals.

Poor school performance in terms of academics as well as physical training is much affected in fat
children. Due to the sheer burden of extra fat on their bodies these kids fail to perform on par with their
lean collegues in physical activities of school. Mental health is also affected in these children and they in
rare cases score less than the normal kids in academics aswell. Proper parental guidance and supervision
can prevent such detrimental effects of obesity only when the fear of punishment is put by law into the
hearts of the parents. In japan there is a recent fall in the number of obese kids because the parents had
to pay an extra amount of tax if they had any children that falls under the category of obesity.

To conclude, fat children’s parents must be penalized due to the detrimental effect of extra weight of
child’s health and school performance.
