we eat the most junk food

We are the "fattest" country in the world because we are the wealthiest country in the world. That great wealth allows us to have the ability to eat rich and varied foods as well as have incredible amounts of leisure time. This combination gives us many calories and less reasons to burn them.
Also, I visited Russia a few years back. They ate as much as we did at times but they ate healthier foods, they ate more natural foods because it was less expensive (processed fatty foods that were already prepared are more expensive than vegetables and other raw food products), and they walked everywhere they went...a lot.
Everyone was thin and in great shape. Older women had incredibly muscular, lean legs...men as well...But I looked mostly at the women !
Anyway, It's because of our wealth.

Simple:
-We have fast food places every five feet, and some are even hooked together these days, i.e. KFC and Taco Bell...
- We have food such as Betty Crocker 30 second brownies
- We have TV trays that pull right up to your lap, and those chair arm things that hold your remotes, so you really don't have to move at all...
-Most people are too busy to eat anything healthy, so McDonalds must be the only option
-30 SECOND BROWNIES!!!
-People today are just lazy.

Because the fast food companies make too greasy food and attract many customers to eat that junk. Just wait for few more years, It is coming all around the world. Generally American people are good and they are caring person

We have the cheapest food in the world and more money to buy it with. And having a lot of leisure time, most eat out of boredom, which there is a lot of.

Because we can be.
The funny part is, the media is hounding everyone for being anorexic; yet at the same time, saying that American's are vastly obese. What kind of signal is that sending out???

cause our serving are much larger than any other countries. example: if you go out for chinese, you get heeps of food, but did you know that the chinese owners will not eat their own food they make at the restaurants (meat wise) they will only have rice or noodles.

we have all kinds of fattening foods cheap and readily available, people are more likely to drive 3 blocks than walk (there are people in my apt complex that will drive to their mailbox rather than walk the 5 or so yards over to it)
that is why.
