Why are there so many fat people in the U.S.?!
Question: A big part of the problem is that people just don't have time anymore. Parents have to hurry in the morning to get their kids to school, go to work and then by the time they get home, it's time to feed the kids and themselves, eat and go to bed, then get up and do it again the next day.
On the way home, it's just a lot easier to stop at a fast food restaurant and pick up something for the family than to go home and cook. And on the weekends, they're just trying spend time with the family, or catch up on work that wasn't completed during the week.
It works the same for students, living in dorms. It's just that people are all so busy.

Abundance of high caloric foods.
We just don't "move" enough; we take the car for everything.
This is an easy Question. The rise of Fast Food restaurants and Technology. Everyone whats to eat out and no one what to walk or ride a bike anymore. Also, did you know that fast food chains make your food so people can get addicted to eating it? I talk about all this in my ebook offered on my website http://www.BestWeightLossCenter.com
there are alot of fat people in the us because of laziness and the TOTAL crap that goes in there food like whats ammonium bicarbonate? OK alitle off focus. my main point is many people who are fat don't realize it and just keep eating an eating until they get diabetes or die! lazy, stupid or just plain unaware
because we eat like pigs
cuz fast food is good
I think because of the convenience of the "bad foods." Frozen pizzas, fast food, etc. Americans are either busy goign from one place to another they don't have time to cook healthy meals and dn'thave time to exercise (this is our excuse anyway) OR they are just too darn lazy.
Well I don't live in a town with fast food chains or anything. But I'm pretty sure the answer is laziness. Eating too much and not exercising. Especially since video games are so popular. People are playing interactive basketball, football, skateboarding..etc..instead of actually going out there and DOING it. We sit on our butts so much..(like now) lol. But I am trying to answer questions. I mean watching tv and eating..really adds up the calories. people just need to be more active..period. But I do think that fast food restaurants are to partially blame..but..they aren't the ones actually putting the food in everyones mouths...people can make choices..they just make the wrong ones usually.
said it before...depends where you are.
