Why are so many American women obese?

Question

I recently got back from being overseas and my goodness is it noticable.

Answer 1

American lifestyles.

It's the American way to ferry yourself around in a big SUV with 15 cup holders for 48 ounce sugared drinks while eating fries on the go.

Then park as close as you can to the store, so you don't dare have to walk a short distance to get inside.

Then you drive yourself to your mailbox and to the pharmacy. You never get out of your box with wheels.

Of course, you have the AC on high, to minimize your body's metabolism.

Then after 60 hours of work, you naturally don't have the time or energy to do anything else but sit at home and watch American Idol.

Answer 2

Goodness, lets place men into that equation too. I see more beer bellies wandering around than not.

I blame much of it on lack of exercise, fast food, drinking anything BUT water and not watching calories. What are the excuses for you men?

Answer 3

For the same reason so many men are obese: poor diets and lack of exercise.

Answer 4

Really? I see so many men with their bellies hanging out over their pants that I'm surprised that anyone can see their women behind them.
I suppose they all eat well.

Answer 5

Because they are lazy, can`t control themselves unless they are popping xanaxes and zolofts and klonopins (female maintenance drugs), and don`t care enough to see they`re wasting their brief years (16-35) that they look great, being fat, loathsome, lazy, pathetic, stinky slobs.

Answer 6

A truly foul, unhealthy diet and a sedentary lifestyle.

Answer 7

They are mostly too self absorbed and shallow to care about their looks and lazy.

Answer 8

Look at their role model Oprah.....

Answer 9

They eat too much and don't exercise.
