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.
