　　Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

　　Governments have done enough to educate people the importance of a balanced lifestyle and healthy eating.

　　I disagree

　　1. Governments need to do more work on educating people the importance of balanced lifestyle, especially on publicity and the construction of public sports facilities.(一方面政府在宣傳上力度不夠，以致于現(xiàn)代人們有各種各樣的不利于健康的生活習(xí)慣，比如說熬夜，吸煙，酗酒甚至吸毒。另一方面公共體育設(shè)施嚴(yán)重缺乏，導(dǎo)致人們無處健身。比如說我們小區(qū)周圍只有一個(gè)操場，體育設(shè)施也非常的有限，每次去鍛煉的時(shí)候，人都很多，而且有的設(shè)備已經(jīng)老化甚至根本無法正常使用)

　　2. In addition, the education of healthy eating habits require more efforts from government, especially in the inspection of food hygiene and safety as well as publicity of regular eating habits.(一方面，食品安全在我國一直以來都是熱議話題。但是由于政府監(jiān)管不力，有很多商家在食品上以次充好。比如說三鹿奶粉。另外，政府沒有很好地強(qiáng)調(diào)均衡飲食的重要性，所以很多人會(huì)有非常不健康的飲食習(xí)慣。比如說，人們由于快節(jié)奏的生活大都會(huì)吃一些垃圾食品，以致于他們會(huì)患上高血壓或肥胖而得疾病。同時(shí)，有些人甚至不吃早飯，這些習(xí)慣多對(duì)身體危害極大)
