ARTICLE REFLECTION 1

      OBESOGENIC ENVIRONMENT



In her article  ‘Supersize Me: It Is Time To Stop Blaming Fat People For Their Size’  Alison Moltuk argues that instead of blaming people for their overweight, health officials turned their attention to obesogenic environment which means a set of conditions that made gaining weight much easier in the last few decades.  The writer stated  the main reasons of obesity clearly in her article. According to the article, the number of obese people is increasing day by day. There are some main factors which cause this situation  in USA.  Food is cheap and plentiful thanks to the wide spread affluence and agricultural subsidies. Prevalent culture incites obesity because it leads to unhealthy form of life. Another reosan is lack of physical activity. I agree with the writer totally. The tendency to become obese is clear in these days. People consume fast foods excessively that cause to bad outcomes. In comprison to past, the number of parents working is higher and they have to leave their kids at home. They cannot find time  to cook and eventually rely on fast foods.  Secondly, because of technological developments, people can find cheap food. There is a redundance of food in USA. Finally, insufficient physical activity is a big problem for healthy. Schools should be more careful about this issue. Children should be encauraged to do sports.  To sum up, the obesogenic environment made gaining weight much easier because of technology, changing culture and lack of physical activity.
