Obesity in the UAE
Obesity can be divided into three main causes - diet, lifestyle and education. One of the chief causes is diet. Young Emiratis eat more and more of burgers and pizza in fast-food restaurants. However, some traditional foods are also very oily. Lifestyle is a second cause of obesity. As a result of cheap foreign labour, many Emiratis now have sedentary jobs, and do not exercise regularly. However, one of the causes is lack of education . Parents do not teach good eating habits to children, and many people lack knowledge about good nutrition or a balanced diet.
Obesity or even being overweight has serious effects on the individual and the society. Both need to take action to examine the causes of this problem and find solutions.

Budget
The pie- chart shows the information on UK government spending in 1996. The total budget is £315 billion. There are many budgets for the UK government. The highest budget is £100 billion. It is spent for Social security. For another social service it spent £53 billion on health and personal services. The UK government spent £9 billion on transport. They spent around £23 billion on each of defence, debt interest and other expenditure. For, housing, heritage and enviroment less was spent, £15 billion. The UK government spent £38 billion on Education and £17 billion on law and order. This is all the information shown in the pie- chart. As we can see, the UK government spent a big amount of the 1996 budget on social security. The lowest budget shown in the pie- chart is £9 billion on transport. That means the UK government focused on the social security because it spent more money on it than anything else.
