A Word Is Born—Obesogenic Obesogenic is a combination of “obese” and the suffix “-genic”, meaning “tending to create.” So Western culture, with its access to cheap, fattening food, and the decline in exercise and manual work, is increasingly obesogenic. If there were a reverse of these circumstances, then we would become leptogenic, meaning “leading to weight loss” (leptos is the Ancient Greek for thin). We live in hope.
