what do you think the major cause of obesity in America?

Question

i personally have eaten a lot of fruits and vegetables (non organic because i only learned what organic food was about 2 years ago)
and im very skinny and healthy and strong. although i have eaten fast food hundreds of times, drank more than 100 gallons of soda prolly around 2000 gallons of soda i've drinken considering i drink soda everyday. pretty much i have eaten everything never been on a diet.

so i think its a lack of fruits and vegetables, what do you think?

also i dont exercise anymore haven't exercised except walking in 7 years because of an injury i sustained when i was 16 but still haven't gained any weight. although before i got injured i would work out 7 days a week. cuz it was extremly fun for me.
but in the 7 years that i haven't exercised since i havent gained any weight.

very few people are genetically predisposed to be obese if any. how come America is the only country in the world with huge obesity??

peter jennings did a report that showed that its impossible for America to eat their RDA of fruits and vegetables because there isnt enough grown.

and as i get older i get more healthy, i learn more and more things as i get older and actually get more healthy as i go along even though i dont do ANY vigorous exercise all i do mostly is walk and sex lol hey but that is good exercise!
im actually healthier now than i am when i was 12 and im 23 and im confident ill be even healthier when im 30 and probably still healthier when i turn 40 and continue to get healthier towards 50 and i dont expect to get any less healthy until the age of 70 or 80 when age starts becoming a factor.

Answer 1

It's definitely the diet. Too much fatty and sugary foods that take the place of healthier foods. Too many calories consumed in a day. A sedentary lifestyle. Way too much junk, processed, and refined foods.

Answer 2

you sound young
many people are genetically predisposed to be obese and others are lucky in that they have to eat a lot to gain weight
when someone with a high propensity to be obese has a very poor diet including trans fats and high fructose corn syrup and other sugars, and especially if they're not exercising, they can gain weight very quickly.
even if you don't have the obesity gene your chances for being fat are still pretty certain if you consume more calories than you burn.
and just because your thin now, it doesn't mean you'll always be so thin, as you age your metabolism slows and it's harder to lose weight, and sounds like you're addicted to sugar and I imagine that if you started to gain weight and tried to go on a diet, you'd find it very difficult to give up the sugars and also , fast food is addictive as well and just because you might be skinny, it doesn't necessarily mean that you are healthy on the inside, because high sugars and fats can cause all kinds of health problems that you won't even know about until you're older.
