3. Pro and contra arguments

Write two paragraphs that present arguments for and against in response to this question:

There is a growing trend to view obesity as a public health problem that requires state intervention, while some people feel that this is a personal problem that must be resolved accordingly. How do you see this?

I believe that obesity can lead to serious problems for the health of the population, in recent years Chile has led regional rankings on childhood obesity, I believe that this problem should be contained to have a healthy youth, for this, I believe that the state should promote healthy eating and strive to ensure this.

Some diseases that obesity can cause are diabetes or heart disease. Despite this, which is a matter of public health, I believe that the perception of fat and obesity also has a sociocultural dimension, in which there is a rejection of fat, of poorly disciplined bodies, and I think that should change.

 There is a tendency that believes that the State should address this health problem as it precedes other problems that are important to people's health. In this sense, the state should promote good self-care practices both in eating and exercising, but due to the free market system, companies can sell anything at the cost of making money, such as fast food chains, which they do not measure the negative. effects that the sale of your products may have.

On the other hand, obesity can also be seen as something personal or private since this condition can be associated with psychological elements such as anxiety or depression. In this way, more individual ways would be needed to solve the problem, for example, going to the psychologist and not a state intervention since obesity would be more related to individual experiences, given this, no matter how much the state promotes measures, these are not it will work if personal problems are not improved.
