Environmental Causes of Obesity!

On November 16, 2021, More Spring Hill students came and spoke with our class about the Environmental causes of obesity. Some of the major points they talked about were how today's society views overweight and obese people as "thick" or "big-boned". When in reality, they are normalizing and encouraging unhealthy habits. Another environmental cause of obesity is the area you live in.

Out of the many causes of obesity we've discussed this was the most important that leads to the most problems!
