What is an obesogenic environment?

An obesogenic environment is one that encourages people to gain weight. This happens because the environment has lots of unhealthy food options and not many places to exercise or be active.

Key Factors:

1. Food Availability: There are many fast food restaurants and stores selling junk food. Healthy food is harder to find or more expensive.
2. Physical Activity: There might not be parks, sidewalks, or safe places to play or walk, making it harder for people to be active.

These environments make it easy for people to eat too much and move too little, leading to weight gain. Understanding obesogenic environments helps us find ways to make healthier choices easier.
