　　Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors．I feel there are a number of reasons for this．

　　Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices．This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves．If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food．

　　There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight．I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops．If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives．

　　There is a third reason for this situation．Children these days take very little exercise．They do not walk to school．When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games．Not only is this an unhealthy pastime(消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food．What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports．

　　The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits．

　　Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr．, from Kenya, and Ann Dunham, a white American from Wichita, Kansas．His parents met while attending the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where his father was a foreign student．They separated when he was two years old and later divorced．Obama's father received a Doctor's Degree from Harward University and returned to Kenya and saw his son only once more before dying in an automobile accident in 1982．

　　After her divorce(离婚), Dunham married Lolo Soetoro, and the family moved to Soetoro's home country of Indonesia in 1967, where Obama attended local schools in Jakarta until he was ten years old．During his time in Indonesia, he first attended St．Francis Assisi Catholic, a religious school, for almost three years．When Obama was in the third grade, he wrote an essay saying that he wanted to become president．His teacher later said that his reason for becoming president was that he wanted to make everybody happy．

　　He then returned to Honolulu to live with his maternal(母亲一方的)grandparents while attending Punahou School from the fifth grade in 1971 until his graduation from high school in 1979．Obama's mother returned to Hawaii in 1972 and died of cancer a few months after the publication of his biography, Dreams from My Father, in 1995．

　　In his biography(传记), Obama describes his experiences growing up in his mother's middle class family．Of his early childhood, Obama recalled,“That my father looked nothing like the people around me－that he was black as pitch(沥青), my mother white as milk－barely registered in my mind．”

　　Some of his fellow students at Punahou School later told the Honolulu Star-Bulletin that Obama was mature for his age, and that he sometimes attended college parties and other events in order to associate with African American students and military(军事的)service people．

　　Have you ever started sneezing when eating peanuts, getting rash(皮疹)on your skin or feeling your heart starting to beat faster?Statistics show that around 12 million Americans suffer from food allergy, with 6.9 million allergic(过敏的)to seafood and 3.3 million allergic to peanuts or tree nuts．

　　Food allergic symptoms occur immediately after having an allergen(过敏原)food．The food is treated as harmful to the body, by the immune system(免疫系统), which defends our organism from harmful external attacks．Here are a few guidelines about things you should know and how to put them into practice to prevent food allergies and eat healthily．When buying food, read attentively the labels on the food products．All manufacturers according to the new Food Allergen and Consumer Act must clearly list all the elements of the product including the 8 food allergens even if they are present in very small amounts．Don't buy these products, even if they might be cheaper．

　　Parents should be very cautious when preparing food．The table and cooking tools used need to be clean．It is recommended to cook the food of the allergic person in the first place．

　　Food allergic persons should have a little patience．In certain people, the allergy disappears gradually．Visit your doctor at regular times to find about the progress of your allergies instead of having strict diets every day．

　　Keep a diary to note the foods that worsen your food allergies, new experiences and changes that you notice．Being tempted to have a piece of cake can be very dangerous．Your health is much more worth than it．Always think about the efforts people around you are putting to create an allergic-free environment for you．

　　Allergic persons should avoid consuming cakes that are not homemade and should always carry some snacks on them．Buying food in restaurants is risky．
