WHy do so many people just assume that the whole america is fat?

Question

There are a lot of skinny people in America, just some people are made skinny, and some fat, thats just the way G-d made us, and everyone is perfect on the inside and outside, you shouldn't be judging a person by the way they look on the outside, but rather on the inside.
So I want evryone to shout their crappy little bitchy mouths, and to stop asking questions and saying things, like Ameica is so lazy, and so fat.

Answer 1

god made us perfect we ate apple and learned to eat,and eat and eat and eat god did not make one fat person we make us fat i know i make me fat i was only 9 pounds when god made me now im 290! i did that!!!

Answer 2

. We are obviously not all obese and overweight. However, there are many more Americans and people from the United Kingdom (they think they are out of the loop on this one for some reason) than any other countries that have weight problems which is associated with our society and culture. No, we are not particularly lazy people. I think we are very hard working individuals, but with that has come more money and therefore it has made it easier to eat out (and the portions that are served are entirely too large...and, people here feel as if they're getting a bad deal if the meal is to regular portion sizes). There are also more women in the work force nowadays and that means that a lot of our society's children are not being taught about what is proper to eat and how much to eat. Let alone how to cook a meal.

I don't just assume that they are fat. There are studies that prove they are.

The majority of Americans are classified as overweight (two out of three). About 30% are obese. Say whatever you want to about how the BMI is misleading, the arguments against it does not apply to the average American.

Sure, we are all made differently, some are more curvy than others, some were just born super skinny. The overweight / obesity discussion would be a moot point if we could all run 2 miles without passing out. The majority of this country DOES NOT exercise on a regular basis, and the average American's diet is devoid of fruit, vegetables, and fiber. G-d made us all - true. But He also wants us to take care of ourselves, which we aren't.

The truth is, that America on the whole IS lazy, and IS fat. More people in this country fit the definition than are exceptions to the rule. If it is any consolation, as we export Fast Food Outlets and the American lifestyle abroad, they too are getting fat and lazy (that's right, France - we're making you into couch potatoes! Whaa-haa-haa-haa!).

Answer 4

I agree that a person's value should be on the inside and not the outside, but statistics don't lie: American is the fattest nation in the world. This is because of our large volume of processed food and not enough exercise. Yes, it is hard for Americans who do not live in big cities to walk many places and use that as their main form of exercise like many Europeans do. However, our portion sizes and what we eat needs to get better!
Yes, Americans do have many redeeming values such as persistence and originality. I too am tired of hearing how all Americans are lazy-I don't like to be stereotyped.

Answer 5

The media in trying to make us healthier, has overplayed the "fat card" and hence it seems that everyone is fat. And along with this prejudice against overweight people is increasing even if that person is trying to lose weight and improve their appearance.

Answer 6

good point but you have to admit that there are a lot of fat Americans. They're fat not because God made them fat but because they are lazy and greedy. God doesn't make them eat twice as much as anyone in any other country then never do any exercise, they make that decision for themselves. It's unnecessary, it's unhealthy and it means less food to go round for the truly needy in the rest of the world.
