toxic environment  

Définition

  • Psychologist Kelly Brownell coined the term toxic environment in 1994 to describe the obesigenic effects of our physical surroundings. Brownell argued that despite promising advances in our understanding of biological risk factors for overweight, the precipitous increase in obesity at the population level has occurred so quickly that it cannot be attributed solely to genetic factors.
