Report

This is my rubric for my report.

This is my 2nd draft for my child obesity report

**__REPORT__**

Child obesity is a problem that needs to be eliminated. Obesity causes severe health issues and other side effects. If child obesity is not successfully dealt then this will lead to obese adults. In 2006/07, one in three adults were overweight (36.3%) and one in four were obese (26.5%).

//**__What is child obesity?__**//

Obese is when somebody is excessively fat or fleshy, for a child the risk of becoming obese is determined by both genetic and environmental factors. As with adults, some children are more likely to gain weight. Different ethnic groups in NZ have different rates of obesity. Pacific island people and Maoris have the highest rates of obesity. The __environmental__ in which we live in can also cause weight gain for example, low social class, single parent families, single child families, excessive periods of being inactive.


 * //__Emotions__//**

Children have been starting to get picked on and bullied because of the obese problem, people think its funny to pick on fat people, and this is because fat people stand out in the crowd because of their size. If obese people are competing in sport they tend not to do so well because of their bulk. __Often fat people eat a lot of takeaways, and junk food. Because these foods usually are high in fat, salt and sugar. (What does this have to do with emotions?)__


 * //__Solutions__//**

The adults could help to stop their children from being obese. They could stop buying coke, chips, biscuts, cakes and replace that junk food with fruit and other healthy options. Also encourage their children to be active through joining sports teams or making up their own exercise programme. Parents could get their children to bike or walk to school. Parents could also exercise with there own children. Parents need to set a good example for their children by healthy eating and exercising and explain to their children obesity can cause.

In conclusion obesity is a wide spread problem particularly for pacific island groups. To stop this problem child obesity needs to be eliminated, this can be done by parents becoming role models for their children by eating healthy and encouraging their children to exercise.

//__Miss Crawford - A very factual report, Dylan - well done. You need to add more to your paragraph on emotions. Also, make sure when you are writing a paragraph, you stay on topic. Refer to paragraph on emotions.__//

Children have been starting to get picked on and bullied because of the obese problem, people think its funny to pick on fat people, and this is because fat people stand out in the crowd because of their size.This makes obese people feel depressed and sometimes even makes them angry. If obese people are competing in sport they tend not to do so well because of their bulk. This makes them feel sad and often they give up sport because they feel left out and unable to compete with everyone else. The end result is that they may end up more obese because they have cut out their exercise. //__**Solutions**__//
