The graph represents the organs of an overweight child explaining how they are affected by obesity and data on those affected. All organs show aging and degeneration that would not otherwise occur. The bottom third of the graph states that obesity since the 1980s has tripled in the 2-19 age group, which should be of great concern to all parents. This increase in recent years shows that parents do not monitor their children's eating habits or simply do not care. Even if both are bad enough, let's consider the former, why aren't parents worried about their children's lives? Above all, do these parents take care of their children? Since nutrition and health are a very important part of a child's development, it would not be correct to say that these children are neglected. In the article we read about Mrs. Amador, the mother of an obese child, she states that she and her husband thought “he would start losing weight when he got a little older and girls started paying attention… My husband thought it was funny. " Eventually, these habits may change, so new trends in parenting help will emerge. Books about “how to get your child to eat well” will sell, and as the number of obese children increases, the greater the effect what this will have on children.
