| Overweight and obesity have increased dramatically in the past decade. While the cause is multi-faceted, many argue that the environment in which we live is one of the contribution factors. This poster session presents evidence for some of the potential factors that contribute to this epidemic. Factors include fast food consumption and food advertising to children, the home and community environments. | |||
