    Writing – Cause and Effect Essay
    Topic: 2.
    Write about the following topic:
    The percentage of overweight children in western society has increased by almost 20% in the last ten years.
    Discuss the causes and effects of this disturbing trend.
    Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own experience or knowledge.

    Model Answer
    Over the last ten years, western societies have seen close to a 20% rise in the number of children who are
    overweight. This essay will discuss some reasons why this has occurred and examine the consequences of
    this worrying trend.

    The main cause of this problem is poor diet. Over the last decade there has been a prolific increase in the
    number of fast food restaurants. For example, on nearly every high street there is a MacDonald’s, Kentucky
    Fried Chicken and Pizza Hut. The food in these places has been proven to be very unhealthy, and much of the
    advertising is directed at children, thus ensuring that they constitute the bulk of the customers of these
    establishments. However, it is not only due to eating out, but also the type of diet many children have at home.
    A lot of food consumed is processed food, especially with regards to ready-made meals which are a quick and
    easy option for parents who are working hard.

    The effects of this have been and will continue to be very serious. Firstly, there has been a large increase in
    health related diseases amongst children, especially diabetes. This debilitating illness means a child has to be
    injected with insulin for the rest of their life. Not only this, very overweight children often experience bullying
    from other children, which may affect their mental health. The negative stigma of being overweight may also
    affect self-esteem.

    To sum up, it is evident that there are several causes of obesity amongst children, and a variety of negative
    effects. Society must ensure steps are taken to prevent this problem from deteriorating further.

    foods. Kids at home also are found to eat processed food because their parents do not find enough time for

    and healthy. Therefore, affects their health, leading to build up of fat and compromising their fitness.

    As a result, there are many possible concerns faced by the children. One such ill-effect is the risk of
