Listeners of Triple J radio station, we have a huge dilemma in our society called obesity. Obesity can cause many problems such as: high blood pressure, heart problems, blockage of blood flow to the brain etc. If we engage together and figure out the way to solve the issue, we can find the solution to a healthy body and lifestyle. I hope to convince to take action against obesity in Australia. Australia is facing a large population of overweight people and that have a poor diet.
People in Australia allow themselves to become unhealthy, or practice these habits not only lead to poor health, but also leads to even more unhealthy society in Australia. Another negative affect on the Australian society is the cost of health care, more people dependent on the government healthcare, which means higher taxes and less money going to other deserving government programs. We can all solve these problems by working together and helping each other out. If we don’t take this issue seriously, this can be an enormous problem for the future years of Australia. The Achievement to reduce obesity in Australia, the government is rolling out a project called “Shape up Australia”. Shape up Australia aims to reduce obesity related chronic diseases by coordinating national efforts to strengthen and better manage healthy lifestyle and obesity and we can all help by supporting them in achieving their goals.

Australians in 1980, 10% of Australians were obese; by 2012 this figure rose to 25%, among the highest in the world. Obesity rates in Australia have tripled in the last three years; this is because of how careless the Australians are on what they are eating. 60% of adults are roughly a quarter of children are overweight or obese. The Australian government have gushed money into national programs to teach young children in Australia grow and prepare healthy meals and fresh foods that encourage Adults to change things like pack breads, cereals, fruit in their children’s lunch boxes etc. In fact we should encourage all Australian communities and individuals to avoid, taking large amount of calories, by preparing healthy foods. We all need to take action in healthy food eating in Australia, if don’t take action by another year, Australia would …show more content…
Tackling obesity is about reshaping behaviours for positive outcomes in an environment of nutritional abundance that serves creative and sentimental needs as well as a nutritional requirement. It is important to work together as a big family to solve this serious problem. Health services, communities, non-government organisations, governments and industries will need to be actively engaged and agree on helping for action to enable obese and overweight to be tackled in
