چکیده
The obesity epidemic is understood to be caused and influenced by multiple factors (Jones, 2014; Finegood, 2010). Amongst obesity research, the food environment is increasingly acknowledged as having a significant influence on obesity levels (Papas, 2007). Poor quality food environments, describe areas where there is an abundance of unhealthy food sources and poor availability of fresh and healthy foods. The availability of unhealthy food is believed to be promoting an unhealthy lifestyle and an over consumption of energy dense foods. This is hypothesised to contribute to rising rates of obesity.
