Teenagers and young children have adopted junk food as a staple meal in their everyday diet. The high consumption of junk food poses considerable risk of developing diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. It is vital to discover ways to combat this problem.

First Solution

The first solution can be educating children on eating healthy foods. Foods rich in nutrients help children grow and have energy. However, junk foods contain unwanted additives and high-calorie ingredients. Parents should educate children about the health risks associated with junk food from a young age and normalise eating healthy meals instead of visiting restaurants that serve junk food.

Second Solution

Another way to deal with the problem of junk food is by reducing its availability. Junk food is sold in many places and is very cheap. Children can afford to buy these foods from stalls and restaurants. There should be policies to limit the sale of junk food to children. These policies may control the cost of junk food or the places where it is sold.
