Our parents are important role models. If they have an unhealthy lifestyle, if they eat unhealthy food - their children are more likely to copy their behavior and continue these unhealthy habits in their future life. Parents need to take into account the consequences of their actions. They may be saying “eat your fruits and vegetable to grow big and strong,” but when those words are accompanied by inhaling a double cheeseburger, the lesson isn’t as meaningful.The problem of some teenagers is overweight . Today 34 percent of people ages 12 to 19 are overweight. The problem of it is in parents. In order to solve this problem parents must change their way of life. They must show to their children what they should eat.
