Child obesity is one of the major problems that are causing fear in the minds of health specialists and of course the governments of various countries that are afflicted with childhood obesity. In a new report, similar feelings are expressed. It has been reported that the obesity epidemic in Australia will rise to 60% within 30 years, if the government steps in and invest billions for curbing of obesity. 

Kevin Norton, professor of exercise science at Sport Knowledge Australia, has severely criticized the governments–both state and federal–in failing to curb the rising problem of obesity among the children of nation. The professor foresees that it can considerably cripple the national health system.

It is no surprise that obesity rate among the children is increasing. However, its acuteness is the cause of worry–in the next 30 years, it will match the rate of adult obesity, and therefore, needs some sort of planning to be stopped right here.

Australia is not the first country which is facing the increased rate of childhood obesity, and we, who have read many articles and reports, know very clearly that the problem is occurring in almost all the parts of the globe–America, Europe, and some of the Asian countries. No wonder that many governments have already taken tremendous and considerable measures to curb the onslaught of obesity; but many countries are not yet arisen to the gravity of the situation. As per the comments of the professor, it is clear that the government of Australia might be slow in responding to the needs of curbing the problem of obesity. However, we can’t declare that how the things would progress, but generally, we can easily guess that if the things are not easily handled, they can have disastrous consequences.
