Food and Obesity

Obesity is a complex and multifaceted public health issue that has been on the rise globally, and one of the key contributors to this epidemic is our food environment. The modern food landscape is dominated by highly processed, calorie-dense, and often unhealthy foods that are readily available and affordable. These foods are often high in sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats, which can lead to overconsumption and weight gain when consumed in excess. Furthermore, aggressive marketing and advertising tactics by the food industry often promote these less nutritious options, making it challenging for individuals to make healthier choices.
