A Health Problem

Tell me about a health problem people face in today's society. You should say: what the problem is what causes this health problem what the consequences are for people’s lives and explain what people could do to prevent this health problem．

．Malnutrition+ obesity=many children are overweight.
．Fast food chains are everywhere.
．People don't cook so often. Why?
．Consequences for health: high blood pressure, vascular＋cardiac problems
· How to solve the problem? Education＋enjoy Chinese food
Unfortunately in China, more and more people, especially the young ones, suffer from malnutrition and obesity. Usually Chinese people are thin and healthy. We have a body and genes that prevent us from getting too overweight. But in the last 5 years, our eating habits have changed with the appearance of new products directly imported from Western countries, or related to Western influence.
Nowadays, fast food chains have mushroomed all over the cities, and places like KFC, McDonald's, or Pizza Hut are always crowded. People also buy quick food in supermarkets： they eat a lot of snacks and soft drinks which are not good for their health.
People don't cook as much as the older generations used to. Parents are very busy with their job, and I believe that a lot of grown-ups have become a bit lazy. Because they also have more money, they go out to restaurants more often. The problem is that the food is very frequently oily there.
With obesity comes a lot of other health problems such as high blood pressure and cardiovascular(=heart) problems．If people get fat, their lifespan is likely to be shortened.
I believe we can solve this problem through education in schools and on TV We should instruct adolescents on healthy eating habits, and encourage people to enjoy traditional Chinese cuisine, as it is both savory and healthy.

Vocabulary ．Vegetables: cauliflower, green beans, cabbage, carrots, eggplant, lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, spinach． ．Meat: chicken wings, chicken feet, beef steaks, pork chops, mutton, lamb (=baby mutton)． ．Organ meat(=the insides of animals)：liver, kidney, heart, tripe, sweetbreads(=pancreas of calves) ．British cooks, it seems, have lost their taste for organ meat. But take the heart for example, the less popular cuts can be delicious, as well as nutritious. Liver dishes are high in protein and low in fat. ． This is so good！=It's out of this world！=it's so delectable！=It's a taste from heaven！
