Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reasons listed in options A, B, and C (availability of inexpensive, good-tasting food, evolutionary traits of the brain, and genetics) are all recognized factors contributing to obesity. However, the problems associated with behavioral dieting (option D) are not a cause of obesity but rather a challenge faced when attempting to lose weight. Behavioral dieting issues can include things like yo-yo dieting or the psychological effects of restrictive eating, which are consequences of attempts to manage weight, not causes of obesity itself.
