Huge obesity problem? Not really. Huge overweight problem? Yes, we do, and it seems to be getting worse. A big factor in this is that most people don't have jobs that require a lot of physical exercise anymore. My dad actually had to WORK for his living...

Anorexia and obesity are both big problems, but obesity seems to be a bit more widespread here in America. It's kind of heartbreaking going to school every day and seeing so many fellow students that will die younger of heart disease and diabetes and stuff.
That being said, anorexia and other eating disorders are still a major problem, and I think we should keep that in mind while solving the problem of obesity.

Follow the link below. In developed countries like America, there are approximately 130 million people that are obese and only 10 million that are underweight. While not ALL Americans are overweight, obesity is clearly WAY more of an issue than other eating disorders...

there are so many reason for obesity in this country
fast food, no one has time anymore to cook nutrtional meals, parents are too busy trying to work and make ends meat, why do you think teens are outta control, no one is at home parenting them the way they should. we spend all this time and money in iraq, when we need to focus on making things better gere in america, nowadays mtv and bet are rasing the kids.
also kids dont go out and play much no more, most would rather play there new game system and eat chips

It is true. It is a phenomenon that is most prevalent in the US but other countries are catching up as well. It is largely due to the crappy food that is out there for people to buy, and the fact that the activity level of the average person has decreased so much.

Obesity is stealidy rising as one of the leading factors of premature death in America.
The problem is that we have become a soceity of convenience.
which contributes to a lack of physical activity and leads many people to become obese.

I do. People need to be themselves with anorexia, wanting to be that thin, uh no. Unhealthy. And others--stop going out to eat, and walk instead of the couch.Respectively.

It is a problem. You have only to walk down any street in America and you will find many more large people than small people.
