Why are there so many fat people in America?

Answer 1

Because of technology.We sit on our @sses and watch T.V, play video games ,Watch commercials that encourage us to shop and buy food to eat .We can`t walk anywhere now days .
We drive or bike ,even a couple of blocks to the store to buy even more to eat .We have become ,fat ,lazy and anti social ,sometimes not leaving our houses for days.
We are also being told we need sleep aids ,anti depression medicine and more .So now we are sleeping in more ,Have reason not to go out (depression )and we have some ailment that inhibits us from exercising.
You tell me if i`m wrong .

Answer 2

There are a number of reasons.
1. All of the steroids and synthetic drugs that are injected into the meat we eat. It is non normal and is not normal for humans to eat meat treated in this way.
2. An over abundance of advertisements constantly tempting Americans to go out and buy cheap, high in fat, food. You can be the most disciplined person in the world but if you are constantly eing berated with messages and visuals to go eat food, you are going to break.
3. We're lazy. We want technology to do everything for us now, when sometimes what is required is simple manual labor.

Answer 3

America has many 'obese' people because it was where most fast food restraunts originate from 1930's till now. especially macdonalds, kentucky fried chicken, and so on... be aware that american fast food and others use a lot of meat oil especially beef for americans since they like Steak just like me. but to me i prefer it to be a rare treat lol. try out these books. "Fast Food Nation" and " Chew On This". another reason is because of artificial colouring/ flavours in candy shops and school canteens throughout the united states. Also, many americans sleep after eating snacks and meals especially when watching football matches and they drink BEER alot that makes them 'extra calorie beverage'

Answer 4

Office jobs and driving combined with fewer dietary changes since the late 1800s. Most home cooking in the US is very fatty, just like what the farmers used to eat. Now that we're not all farmers, we don't need the calories supplied by "farm food."

Answer 5

Because people aren't willing to eat healthy food. Also, our country built all of our major cities far apart with the whole suburb thing going on, so we depend on cars much more than any other country. Walking/riding bikes really aren't encouraged outside of urban areas.

Answer 6

Americans are not disciplined. If they are depressed they eat. If they are happy they eat. Eating is the past-time which is not good for anyone to do all of the time. We eat rather than exercise and get ourselves healthy. Mc Donalds, Burger Kind, etc are not the way to go if you want healthy food.

Answer 7

I call it The Revenge of the Animals. We have been
fattening them up with steroids to get more money
per animal. And then we eat them with the weight
gaining proteins in them.
Elementary my Dear Watson!

Answer 8

Because there are too many fast food joints. People are eating way too much junk food these days.

Answer 9

We eat too much of the wrong foods--readily available fast foods that aren't healthy and come in too-large serving sizes--and exercise far too rarely.

Answer 10

They drive everywhere and eat badly... Mainly because they don't do a lot of exercise. McDonalds tastes like crap BTW... That guy needs to eat some real food.
