Answer:

Around 18.4 percent of children between 6 and 11 years of age in the United States are considered overweight.

Explanation:

There are many factors that can cause a child or young kid to become overweight, such as <em>genetics, metabolism, eating and physical activity behaviours</em>, among others. However, there is one factor (or place) that is most responsible for the increase in the number of children suffering from overweight problems: fast-food chains. These places offer food that fails to provide children with the vital nutrients they need for their correct development. Children enjoy eating foods such as hamburguers, french fries and hot dogs because they seem so much tastier than vegetables and fruits. Also, parents who have no time to cook for their children because of their hectic lifestyles, resort to these places.
