They're too busy to care enough to change the bad habits they've formed. Americans like to talk and complain, but few will do anything about a problem. This goes for being overweight. We also have too many ways opportunities to eat and most people don't reflect on if they're actually hungry. Often the food choices are not good ones, full of empty calories and too many hapazardly plop the food in our mouths without contemplating if they need to eat. Meanwhile, we're all so sedenatary watching TV and sitting at our PC's we can't burn the calories we consumed. |

I think it is because EVERYTHING we do revolves around food and food is everywhere. Americans seem to just consume food and don't take time to enjoy it. The other problem is that when we want to eat we want to eat now...we're on the go all the time so we pull into fast food restaurants and feed our bodies garbage. We spend a lot more time in the car, in front of the computer and T.V. and little to no time enjoying a walk, bikeride or sport. |

there are several reasons for this.
one.. Americans do not do much in terms of exercise and activity. if we spent time like our past ancestors did, working in the farms, and such, we would have much of a weight problem. second, the food we eat is atrocious. fast food is so bad for us. did anyone see the movie "Super Size me"?.
that alone was enough for me to stop eating at MC'D's
of course, most diets do not work.. what we need is moderation in the food we eat, and get our buts out the couch and exercise...and exercise.. our bodies will respond accordingly. |

Americans are always busy and on the go so they eat a lot of fast food. The portions at fast food restaurants are sized medium, large and super-sized. Everybody wants to get their money's worth so they go for the large size or super-size. Fast food is also convenient and it's difficult for a lot of Americans to get a lunch together at home to take to the office. |

You americans do not seem to realize the harmfulness of sugar and wheatproducts. They pump up your sugarlevel so high that all the grease you eat, will cause an insuline effect that leads to fatcapturing in your body. |

Because the people eat alot of fast food and processed foods that are high in fat, sugar and artificial colours. This bad diet leads to obesity and other bodily disorders like diabetes and heart disease. |

I think this is becoming a globalized issue... BUt it's just a result from the lifestyle people have... Lots of work, NO exercise and JUNK FOOD at all times.
This will bring DIABETES, HEART DISEASES and OBESITY as a result. |

There are many reasons that can attribute to this, however this question should also be directed towards the world, why is the World so overweight? Every country has overweight individuals; it has to do with modern convenience, self control, emotional issues and product marketing. The US has a lot of Dairy in our primary products, compared to most Asian countries where diets consist of fish, water and rice dishes, to these countries that do not consume Milk and Dairy Products, most Americans smell like infants, this due to the fact that in most Asian Countries Infants are the only ones ingesting Milk of some kind. |

Do you want the list or the top 5 reasons? Because we want to SUPER SIZE everything in sight-portions are out of control; lack of exercise; laziness, lack of self control, where else can you get a double burger with cheese, full of saturated fat in under 5 minutes for $2 bucks? Add in a coke and fries and you've got a "happy" meal......uuuugh |

Overfeed, under nourished.
Sugar in everything. For example, why do they put sugar in soup -- see link below. (Also check out the SODIUM). |

I classify humans as animals. When animals are domesticated, they don't have to fend for themselves any longer and they just sit around and eat. I don't know exactly why we have a higher obesity problem than most other countries, but it probably has a lot to do with technology and fast food. Just a guess. It seems as though we have a lot of sedentary jobs involving computers, and I'm sure that plays a part in it as well as the convenience of fast food, and the conveniences of certain kinds of modern technology. Also we are a very rich country, and even the poorest of us have television and video games and other things to keep us entertained without us having to move at all. Of course other countries have all of these things as well, so I would guess the American mentality plays a huge role as well. But these are all just guesses and supposition I haven't studied the matter really.
Not all of us are fat lazy cows. Some of us enjoy exercise and do eat right. I don't group French people as a bunch of frog eating weirdos, or Brits as a bunch of tight @ss snobs, and I don't think of Australians as looking like Crocodile Dundee, so maybe somebody should be a little more open-minded? Thanks. |
