Steno General Dictation No. 256

There is no doubt that obesity is becoming a severe issue around the world. This illness has a harmful effect on both children and adults. This topic will explain the root and the measures we should take to remedy this problem. To begin with the reasons although there are several roots to cause obesity the most significant one is a change of diet. People tend to eat more fatty food compared to the past. For example whereas 50 years ago fish and rice were the main dishes in Japan, now we enjoy a wide range of cuisines which contain more fatty ingredients and calories.
