India: Junk Food Causes Youth Obesity (Hebrew Subtitles)
Childhood obesity is on the rise in India. We go to one northern Indian school that has been hard hit by the growing problem.
Students here blame their weight on a lack of sports and exercise. They say most of their time is taken up by studying for exams.
[Faizal Ahmed, Student, St. Josephs School]:
“There is a lot of emphasis put on our studies. The school does not pay attention to sports. There is Chinese food and junk food available in the school. And children obviously like it more.”
It also doesnt help that the food served in their school cafeteria is not healthy.
[Deepanshu, Student, St. Joseph's School]:
“I play very little sports because there is a lot of academic pressure. And I also eat junk food.”
Doctors believe that obesity can lead to many diseases, especially diabetes.
