In this article the author focuses on some of childhood obesity's causes like eating huge amounts of food, bad lifestyle habits and Genetics role, and how these causes can affect some political problems. Then, she indicates the bad results of the obesity problems if we don't find a solution for them. After that she said that it is not too difficult to help these children to change their life and their habits in order to have good health and a good life in the future, because they are still learning about this world.

Thus, they can change what is bad and unacceptable of their children's behaviors about eating and exercise if they start with themselves in the beginning.

Reaction:
In this article, the author indicates some of childhood obesity causes, but not all of them, because there are many things that can also cause the same problems such as the media effects, social customs, religious habits …etc. In these cases it is very difficult for the parents to change their society and their culture in order to protect their children from the obesity risks, and even the parents are able to do this, but sometimes the environment doesn't help them because some people are considering changing their customs refuse their religious habits, or something like this fore example if the children's refuse to complete their plate they will punish them and they will not give them a candy because the food is a gift from God and we have to protect this gift and don't through it even these children's are not hungry or they cannot completes all the food
