Well, first of all: not all white Americans fat. Second of all: there are just as many Americans of different races who are fat (porportion-wise.) Third: its not just America, its all semi-prosperous countries where food is convient and cheap.
Whare are some people in the world so disgustingly hateful?
That is a question I cannot answer.

~*~ I don't think that we should specify a certain race.. I think you should have phrased the question.. Why are American's overweight?.. Anyway.. people are accustomed to eating out alot.. fast food is bad for your health.. many people buy foods at the grocery store that are high in sugars, carbohydrates, etc.. many of the foods that the Americans prepare at home are not fresh foods made from natural ingredients ..and made from scratch... it just seems that nobody in the US wants to take time out of their busy day to make a healty meal... They are always looking for a way to save time.. even if it costs them their health.. Another reason why Americans seem to be so overweight is because we don't excercise as much as we should.. Correct me if i'm wrong but don't most of you, when you go to the store or shopping mall, look for the closest parking space so that you don't have to walk to far? What about escalators and elevators in the stores and buildings..??? I've been to Japan and I'm from Mexico.. The people in these countries eat healthy and many use public transportation and walk alot.. I'm not trying to say that there are no overweight people there... just that in no way does it or will it ever compare to the problem here in the United States.. Overweight people in general need to worry about their health.. They need to eat healthy.. They need to know their limits.. many eat until they get sick.. Try to exercise more... Instead of parking close to the front door of the store.. park further out.. walking is good for you.. Many people don't realize all of the danger and health problems that being overweight can cause... heart disease, heart failure, diabetes, cancer, etc... This is a serious problem and really it needs to be addressed.. Many overweight people need to just take that step and make a lifestyle change... its the best thing that you could do for yourself.. trust me I know.. I used to be huge.. i've managed to lose 150 pounds in less than 2 yrs.. It wasn't easy but i did it... ~*~

Because Americans are spoiled when it comes to food. We eat to live, and some live to eat. Oh yeah and don't forget about the fast food sitting on every corner of the street. Also the fact that every one seems to be in a hurry, and mother's having to work more because of the cost of living so I think fast meals and eating on the go is a problem.
OH AND LAST I CHECKED WHITE PEOPLE ARE NOT THE ONLY FAT AMERICANS, so you can't point out races like this STUPID IDIOT...............

White people aren't the only ones who are fat. There are fat people all over the world in every culture.

Not just white people are fat. All of America is getting bigger, because we are lazy. Because of inventions to make life easier we get lazy, because we don't have to work as hard to get basic things.

It's true, lots of people are overweight here! But not EVERY white person here is overweight. Look at a lot of our celebrities. Most of them are toothpick thin. Please don't stereotype people before you think it over. thx! Have a nice day! â¥
