Why are American girls and women so obese?

Question

I've travelled to many parts of the world, and the girls and women in other countries are what females should look like---slim and trim, unlike the fat COWS here in the USA. Is it the junk food, constantly stuffing their faces, hormones in meats, laziness, or what???

Answer 1

The same reason American boys and men are fat. People like food and dislike exercise. And America doesn't have shortages in food or money like many countries.

Answer 2

Answer 3

I live in the US and I'm a size 3 I'm not lazy I work out daily, swim, dance, play tennis & eat whatever I want, and choose to eat healthy. I don't know what country you are from but it sounds like you have something against people from the US and you should really get a life and grow up, the most beautiful women are from the US, perhaps less than half the Country has a weight problem, but lets face it if the women are real skinny in other countries, which it's a crock of crap, I've traveled the world and have seen very big women in other countries, Europe, latin america, and many other places and not most of them are thin, that's a lie!!!

And, in some of the poorest countries people are thin, because of obvious reasons, how ignorant can someone be!!

Answer 4

Well, personally, I'm not obese or lazy. Not a cow, or overweight.

Yes, I'm in the US. Mom of 4, and lost all but 15 of the baby pound from having kids. I look 10 years younger than I am. I also don't do junk food, fast food, and am not lazy.

I work full time, go to college fulltime and am still raising 3 boys. US society demands that we run a multitrack schedule, and sometimes fast food is the only thing there is time to eat.

If society would shift the focus to peseerving the homelife, instead of more, bigger, better constantly, the look of Americans would have a chance to change. But to succeed here you must strive to be bigger, better, faster....

It sucks.

Answer 5

It's called "progress" ... no - I'm just kidding !!! Here, in Canada, we have over weight or obese girls too !!! Of course, the men are all slim and trim like they are in the U.S. - N O T !!!
Over weight is a symptom of something is wrong !!! Society is too busy to exercise, cook a wholesome home-made meal or do things the "good ol' fashioned way"! With mothers working and absent fathers working, etc. ... there is no time to contribute to home cookin'. Pre packaged, fast foods are the "norm" in most homes and as a result, calories are packed on like monthly bills. We want the "good life", and it is costing us all, dearly.! Expect to see in the U.S. , employers having the right to terminate (fire) fat people since they pay the health insurance premiums! FAT is the curse of the affluent - that's what I call progress - right professor?

Answer 6

Uh, you're talking to an American here, and I'm not fat.

But I do agree with you. The first foods immigrants eat when the get here is junk food because it's what everyone else is doing. Then they get fat when back in their home countries they never would because they ate food that wasn't processed and loaded with sugar and fat.

Answer 7

First there is the McFood that is high in fat and addictive. Then there is the laziness from eating all the McFood......

Answer 8

I totally agree with you. In other countries we walk we don't drive and we actually take time to cook our meals! Then meals we eat are healthy and fresh not fast food.

I have seen that only in america women and girls are fat!

Answer 9

Answer 10
