Our problem is portion control, a restaurants smallest cost is the food, the building cost, insurance, employees wages,taxes, etc. are the
"BIG" expenses, therefore they give us a lot of food so we will come back. we are now accustom to "SUPER SIZE" then we diet, lose the weight, then 95% of us put it back on, you must be seeing only 5% of the Americans.

Thats one of the wonderful things about America that people over look, in many country's the question is "What is there to eat" ? In The U.S. the question is "What would you like to eat", we have more food here than we can handle, truly a blessing we take for granted.

Its because the standard of living here is quite high. The higher one's standard living, the more luxuries one can afford, be it food, transportation, or whatever. All these things make life easier and more enjoyable, but are not always good for you.

Bad diet and not enough exercise.
They need to reduce usage of automobiles for every little chore, and use more of their limbs!
The diet products you see that fill the shelves are a gimmick.
Good nutrition coupled with good exercise beat everything!
And, that's not limited to only the U.S.

There it is again! Never believe 100% of what the media say. You will also find that we are not as racist, rich, or radical as they make us seem on TV. There are some fat, rich, racist, and extremist out there but most of us are just "people".

The US is the most fitness conscious nation on the planet I guess... But nevertheless, we make the best food ever... I guess that's why.

There are fat people all over here, not just the south or midwest. Look around. See people of all age groups. They're there. Trust me.
