Because every other building along the road is a fast food restaurant. Soon, the rest of the world will be like this unless they make laws prohibiting so many fast food restaurants. Throughout our evolution, it has been beneficial to want to eat a lot and to love fatty foods, but now that they are in abundance, loving fatty foods no longer helps our survival. It hinders it.

Why are you so stupid?
Not all Americans are fat. Some of the fattest people I've ever seen came from other countries.
Africa has AIDS, The Middle East has Muslim Terrorists, China has pollution, Brazil has 5 year old hookers, America has fat people. All countries and continents have their problems. I'd rather be fat and happy then have AIDS.

Have you seriously compared the weight of an average American with that of other nationalities .The fast food habit of most Americans could make them to be obese.

Not all of us are. But Nowadays there is so much junk food and processed food available which contain more fat than natural foods that were made 100 years ago, also many people eat more than is good for them, and there are now cars to get people from place to place so many people don't get as much exercise as they should.

We eat like our cultural ancestors, most of whom had very vigorous physical jobs, but we don't work like they did. My own gene pool, the Pennsylvania German, developed in a region where it gets mighty cold every winter, and it pays to have a layer of fat to protect your vitals from the cold. But they also chopped wood, lugged huge pickle vats, smoked whole hams for the winter, etc. They were busy, working with their muscles, to build a life for themselves, generally on a farm or in crafts like blacksmith and cabinetry. We sit in front of a computer screen, munching away as if we were working as hard as grandpa (or great-grandpa) did.

Look at what they eat in the morning.
Every fast food shop is selling some kind of pig sandwich. The two legged kind walk in and get what's good for them.
(What he actually meant to say was...)
Folks eat hearty in the morning stateside.

The BFI / Body Fat Index used to determine who is overweight is grossly inaccurate....
Most professional athletes are considered overweight / obese according to the BMI...

Inactivity. Too much time spent at work and over processed and probably GMO foods.
