Many mentioned fast food and I want to add on. It is the mean of transportations in US, mainly by a car. People don't get to walk much. Walking should be an everyday exercise without efforts. Most people here drive to work, grocery, stores or wherever and drive back home. Other countries have more convenient public transportations like subways, trains, buses, taxis etc which are involved with more walking. And after that, it would be personal, lack of excercise-laziness.

Because we like to eat,food is associated with everything,family functions,party's.Processed foods came around in the 1950's,such as t.v dinners and things became progressively worse since.People need to include healthy foods and more exercise in their daily lives.Randy was right, people buy the foods that they can afford.There are fat people all over the world,we just have a little more.

When I went to the US I was astonished at the size of the people.
My brother-in-law, who is a doctor and lives in the US, said that Americans are always eating. You can find them eating junk food all day long. They do not seem to bother eating at the right time. They do not eat the right foods.

Food rewards, Pavlovian scheduled meals, all you can eat, guilt association with foods, rewarding foods, excessive foods, food eating contests to glorify big eaters, poor dining habits like not drinking a glass of water before a meal. Equating "rich" with fat and sweet. Excessive fast carbohydrates. No restraint on the consumption of foods. Devouring food after sufficiency. Gluttony.

Our society is No.1 with fast food joints, nobody wants to cook from scratch anymore and manufacturers allure us with coupons to buy their aweful products. I always stay on the outside perimeter of the store and hardly buy anything on the inside aisles except canned beans, whole grain cereals and pasta and olive oil. People move less and less as they age, and are intertained while being totally passive. I'm 58 years old and I garden, walk, ice skate and play on a pool league. In fact my pool team just won #1 in the division tonight! Eat properly, keep active and old age will only be a number - not a feeling!

When I went to visit the U.S I was astonished at the fast food deals you guys had going on. You could get like 6 burgers for $2 (obvious exaggeration) but I think that is a HUGE part of the statistics. It seems like it would be cheaper for a low income family to go out and grab fast food than it would be to buy groceries. Craziness!
