In 2004, the Centers for Disease Control reported that Americans are eating more than ever, and women in particular are eating over 300 more calories a day than they did in 1971. Two-thirds of Americans are overweight, yet fewer than one-third get regular exercise.
The simple fact is that losing weight just isn't that important to people.
A 1993 Yankelovich survey found that over half of Americans said they weren't at all concerned with watching their weight, and studies show that fewer than one-quarter of Americans are dieting. In 2002 Glamour magazine asked more than 11,000 readers what they would give up to slim down permanently. Three-quarters would not give up eating dessert, and only 41 percent would pay $3,000 to be thin forever. Almost a quarter said they would not give up anything to lose weight.

its true that us americans are more overwweight than ever but we are taking steps to undo that fast food restaurants are now making salads and chicken sandwiches and serving alternatives to sugary drinks and dessserts and alot of women are dieting and trying to slim down america is not as rich as other countries think we are most americans dont have that much money to spend on themselves because they hav families that all there money goes towards and the number 1 reason why americans are so fat is because of medical or stress related reasons NOT because we eat the extra dessert so try to get your facts straight or better yet come visit america and see for yourself! (and P.S. I am not overweight I am actually a lil underweight)

No. frequently conversing, black women do no longer locate white men very beautiful. And almost each black individual has dealt with racism from white human beings, and we've a tendency to no longer comfortable as much as the individuals who're the basis of the priority. In different words, all of us understand how white human beings frequently sense in the direction of us, so which you wont' see us searching for too many friendships or romantic unions with them. Black human beings have a tendency to quite often marry different black human beings.

Hrm. This appears to apply to BOTH sexes, not just women. You need some more pointed statistics to use, Chief.
