Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A Westernized diet acts as a lever to set in motion the body's fat storage mechanisms, particularly in disadvantaged stressed, and/or minoritized populations. This is because such a diet typically includes high amounts of processed and high-fat foods, leading to an increase in insulin resistance and inflammation, which can trigger the body to store more fat. This effect is magnified in populations that may already be experiencing stressors from socio-economic or environmental factors.
