Obesogenic means likely to make people fat — usually of an environment, a diet, a city layout, or a way of life, not of a single snack. An obesogenic environment is one where cheap high-calorie food is easy to get and moving your body is hard (long car trips, few safe pavements, huge portions). It is a specialist word: you meet it in public-health papers, serious news, and university writing, not in chat. It does not mean “already obese”; it means “tending to produce obesity.”
致胖的（多指環境、飲食型態；公衛用語）
組成obese + -genic (“producing, giving rise to”). -genic comes from Greek genos “kind, birth” via French -gène and the English suffix -ic.
