The trend of obesity in the United States has significantly increased and has become a significant health issue resulting in numerous diseases over the past thirty years. Obesity roughly doubled among children from ages two to five and roughly tripled among youth over six years old in the United States since the 1970s.

I wrote this paper for ENG 2150T at Baruch College to understand what causes this trend, and what possible solutions are. Throughout my research, I found the main cause of youth having bad health situations is their unhealthy eating habits. Therefore, in the paper, I will focus on the effects of unhealthy diets on young people between one and thirty years old. Moreover, I explained the two of the most common misconceptions people have about healthy diets and expert explanations about why they are not valid.
