FINAL DEBATE POSITION PAPER
Since our CIMUN grades weren't given to our teacher we had to have one last debate that would be our quarterly exam grade for UN together with our country binder. This is the position paper I wrote for this debate...
Committee:
WHO
Topic: What can be
done worldwide to reduce or prevent child obesity?
Country:
Spain
Delegate:
Ma. Fernanda Jasso
School:
Colegio Ingles
Obesity is one of the most
critical health problems worldwide. This disease doesn’t only causes
psychological issues; it is also the major cause of some other problems like
diabetes, hypertension, and other heart diseases. The worst part about this
problem is that children are being affected and when a child is obese as a kid
is most likely to be either obese/overweight or have health problems as an
adult that’s why we need to alert parents so that they can do something to
prevent later health issues of their children.
Statistics show that right
now in Spain 2 out of every 10 children have an overweight problem, which is
twice the amount as it was 20 years ago. Even though there has been and
increase it’s still a very small one. Spanish culture has always been used to
eat homemade food and their taste has always been more selective and healthier.
In my delegation, the NAOS (Nutrition and Obesity Prevention Strategy) is
asking to the fast food industry to lower he sodium content on their food by
10% and is also trying to establish health programs and to promote the selling
of healthy snacks in schools all over around Spain.
My delegation thinks that we
should start by setting a proper nutrition program that will help to create a
healthy way of life by recommending the correct diet according to your age and
socioeconomic level. This program will also include a daily 60-minute work out
routine that will be focusing more in younger kinds so that way they grow up
with healthier habits. My delegation is now open to hear more solutions…
