Topic: Why are Americans so fat? (Read 818 times)
Probably because they have better wages and they like to eat doughnuts lol its strange and I have no idea why
As an American, I find many of the responses from Europeans etc. here quite accurate.
But let's turn this thread around a bit, shall we?
If you are European or Asian, and believe that your citizens are fairly skinny and/or in good health compared to most Americans, tell us why:
1. Do people not eat fast food in your country?
2. What is a typical day look like for food/drink consumption? What types of food do your people eat and drink daily? And from where?
3. Do they regularly get exercise, and if so, how?
4. What role does alcohol consumption play in your daily lives, and how much?
5. What types of food advertising (if any) are in your country?
6. Do food corporations push food types in your country?

Asian here. Before answering, I'm gonna out right mention that Asian might not be fat but their diet are also bad.
- Lacks of sanitization in wet market brings stomach virus and disease.
- To much rice consumption yields high level of sucrose in daily diet.
- Sodium consumption is high, high blood pressure?
- High pork fat consumption, cholesterol?
- Fail FDA due to bribes.
No race are perfect as for healthy diet.
1. Do people not eat fast food in your country? Yes but minimal since it wasn't part of the culture and regular foods isn't too time consuming to make. Go to a Noodles restaurant and you'll have your bowl within 5 minutes of sitting down.
2. What is a typical day look like for food/drink consumption? What types of food do your people eat and drink daily? And from where?
- Bagguett and Egg for breakfast.
- Rice, Soup, meat, vegetable for lunch.
- Super large Bowl of noodle soup for Dinner.
3. Do they regularly get exercise, and if so, how?
No insane work out, just light stretch in the morning and out door jog before starting the day.
4. What role does alcohol consumption play in your daily lives, and how much?
To the extreme. Much have alcohol daily and party is require on the weekends.
5. What types of food advertising (if any) are in your country?
- No restaurants ever advertised, just snacks chips and such.
6. Do food corporations push food types in your country?
No, too much much competitors in the food industry, no 1 company has monopoly to do such.

there are two reasons like there is fast food much cheap as compared to other countries, the second reason they use much sugar. In America 2/3 population is fat.
Americans are fat because 60% of Americans take junks and even like fast food and most of them they aren't used to stressing their self so they prefer to eat, eat, eat and rest and sometimes it could be the trait but I feel if they exercise more than they take junks they would be doing well.
Well, i would not agree with the statement but all my friends who visited USA via the Work and Travel programm returned home with gained weight. I think the thing ia the diet and the laziness. Laziness to cook healthy food! It's easier to eat somewhere out. But you never know all the ingredients.
The major answers to fat, even if you eat junk food:
- Drink plenty of water;
- Take a good probiotic;
- Mix yourself a good colon cleanser (fiber) drink.
This is a start that you can do daily, right now, before you get into the deeper research.

Food in the US is cheap compared to how much they earn. They also eat fast food often, which is cooked on the oil and contains a lot of fat.
Nah, not just oil. Go to any diner you can find and you'd be surprised by the amount of lard they use just to cook one piece of burger patty (ngl, lard's delicious tho, but then again, i'm fat, so..)
The answer is obvious
Because food is very delicious
And Americans know about delicious food

Why are Americans so fat?
How about... They are trying to mimic the bloated Bitcoin blockchain, hoping it will make them some money?

It all has to do with prosperity in America, and how honorable Americans are. After all, when you are prosperous like Americans, you have way more food than what you can eat. But you must eat it to keep from seeming unthankful.
We are in the midst of a national obesity crisis, and Americans are getting heavier. Today, about 65% of adults and 15% of children and adolescents in the US are overweight or obese.
But this is a self correcting problem because as the weight of those people increases, it pushes the earth down and the sea will flood in and drown them.
Americans are fat maybe because of their eating habits. They are more on processed food and more burgers. They are not vegetarian.
You are right that they are so fat that they eat fast food Don't worry about being healthy. Eat that which sounds good Fatty foods are the main reason for their fat Eat more oily and fried whole things.
Food is far cheaper in America and traditional foods are available in several countries. Many of those foods are more familiar with outside food than to favorite home foods they're more obese thanks to eating tons of fat-rich foods in outer food.
If you eat fast food more often then the home cooked food, it obvious that you will get fat. Same is the case with most Americans who prefer to eat outside. Also the lack of exercise is another major cause of being fatty. This is a big concern for the kids who are over weight at the younger ages.

Lately I've been making an effort to help just a bit, various businesses hit by covid.
So almost every day I go into the convenience store, and buy a 44 ounce fountain drink (Iced tea, unsweetened). But anyone who buys that with sugar, that's a 1000 calorie hit.

I also blame convenience stores for making people absorbently fat. Go to 7 eleven and get a big gulp that cost 50 cents for 40 fluid oz of soda. The double big gulps (might've been discontinued??) were 50 fluid oz.
50 cents for up to 600 calories. Some people in the south drink Mountain Dew like it's water, resulting in mountain dew mouth.

Corn's heavily subsidized in the U.S., so companies will add high fructose corn syrup to just about any product, even the ones that you wouldn't expect to have added sugar...like bread, because of how cheap it is.
they don't make food at home, they prefer to buy fast food and eat.
I hear that the average American has to work about 10-12 hours a day to allow himself to live with dignity. It is clear that after working a 12-hour shift no one will want to stand by the stove. Besides, American women have to work like men, so I'm not surprised that when a couple comes home from work they order two pizzas and a soda. If you eat fast food all the time, you can forget about the slim figure.
Why are Americans so fat?
