Essay:

In the last years, the number of fat people is increasing. In order to solve this situation it is necessary to identify the main roots of the problem. One root is related to the food availability and the other root is related to the energy balance of each person.

The food availability depends on the place were you live, but, in general terms, is related to what kind of food you can get by yourself (for example in the supermarket). Obviously, here we meet a big problem, related to the money, because the "bad food" is cheaper than the "good food". For this reason, it is important that the governments need to regulate the quality and prices of the food in order to get healthier people.

The calories balance is related to the ratio between the energy from the ingested food and the energy expended in different activities. If the incoming energy is higher than the expended energy, the result is a fat person. So, it is important to do a lot of different activities in order to be healthy.

As conclusion, in order to get healthy people, the governments need to regulate the food market, and the people need to be motivated to do different physical activities.
