Obesity has long been a global health problem. Among the most severely affected by overweight are teenagers in the United States - as a result of weight gain, adolescents suffer from various diseases. Very often the only way out of this condition is surgery.

Kira is 16 years old and weighs 170 kilograms, and the only way to save her from the trap of being overweight is to have an operation that will actually narrow her stomach. The girl was filmed by the American television channel ABC and claims that she is extremely worried and does not want to die young.

For many overweight Americans, surgery is the only option. Diets do not help them and in order to end their suffering, as well as possible complications of obesity, surgery should be resorted to.

These children cannot lead a normal life - they cannot move normally, most of them have spinal curvature, diabetes, problems with the limbs, with the heart. Their psyche is also severely damaged.

Kira's mother and, in fact, her entire family suffer from an extreme form of obesity. The girl's relatives say that people constantly stare at her and see only her weight.

The first lady of the USA - Michelle Obama, has set out to help children in Kira's condition. Her desire is to encourage young people to move more and make them eat healthier and more thoughtfully.

To this end, Michelle Obama has shot several shots in which she plants vegetables, cooks, exercises, dances. It turns out that the efforts of the first lady have to some extent been successful.

The American Health Service reports that the number of cases of overweight among young children is decreasing. In children between the ages of 2 and 5, the incidence of obesity has decreased by 43% compared to ten years ago.

For teenagers, however, the results are not so good - adolescents still have a serious weight problem. It turns out that every third American youth is obese. Adolescents of African American and Latin American descent also have a problem with being overweight.

According to William Clichy, who works at a pediatric clinic in Texas, obesity is the biggest problem for American health care. The consequences of the disease affect the whole society, and the treatment of the problem costs billions.

Cliché also points out that the diseases that come with being overweight should not be ignored. With early onset of diabetes, the patient's life is shortened by about 27 years, says the pediatrician.

The generation of overweight children will have a shorter life than the generation of their parents. Michelle Obama says she will continue to fight for the children and knows that the decision will not come quickly and easily.

Not only do parents influence the nutrition of their children - daily advertisements on the Internet and television also have their impact, the first lady of the United States is categorical. In recent years, the American food industry offers more and more high-calorie foods - all kinds of breaded products, spaghetti with fatty sauces and more.

Every year, the organization Science for Society awards a prize for the most caloric dish. This year's award goes to a peanut-butter chocolate cake with cheese - it contains 2780 calories.
