Preferred term

variety of foods and obesity  

Definition

  • The complex relationship between food intake and weight has never been more relevant as it is in the current cultural context of abundance exceeding necessity in developed nations. An unlimited amount of food choices inundates the public, yet these options have sent Americans into a worsening obesity epidemic despite knowledge about the complications of obesity. [Source: Encyclopedia of Obesity; Variety of Foods and Obesity]
