Several factors contribute to poor dietary habits:
- Socioeconomic Status: Lower-income individuals often have less access to healthy food options and may rely on cheaper, high-calorie, nutrient-poor foods. - Education: Limited knowledge about nutrition can lead to poor food choices. - Environment: Urban areas with a high density of fast-food outlets and limited availability of fresh produce contribute to unhealthy eating habits. - Cultural Factors: Traditional diets and cultural preferences can influence dietary patterns, sometimes negatively.
