From the Paper:
"The stress upon consumption and the ostentatious show of wealth that the social ecology model condemns as damaging to the overall health of the environment is also damaging to the health of the bodies of individuals within the environment. This is seen in the current epidemic of obesity, which has exploded in the poorest areas of the country. Ironically, weight gain, especially in children, may be culturally associated with health and financial success."Sample of Sources Used:
