Why have American men become so fat?!
Question: Why have American men become so fat!?
I have made notice of an increasing number of corpulent American males in the 00's!. It seems I cannot drive more than 3 blocks from my home without seeing a fat American with his gut hanging over his elastic waistband!.
Perhaps this is why American men aren't taken seriously anymore, their all ******* fat!
Looking back the 70's and 80's, American Men were as fit, if not in better physical condition and thinner than their female counterparts!.
Even in the 90's as I was growing up I remember American men being much thinner!. Since the dawn of the last century American men are just getting bigger and bigger!.
In spite of my avartar I am a an American male; 5'9, 148lbs, 19yrs, with a slender build, I would consider myself normal weight by world standards!.

looking back, everyone was on drugs for most of the sixties seventies and eighties!. also, fast food wasn't even a blip on the radar!. now i bet every time you drive 3 blocks you see a starbucks, mcdonalds, or del taco!? also, restaurant portions are oversized by an average of 73%! the size of your steak portion should be about the size of a tennis ball, but the restaurant practically gives you the whole cow!. and you're 19 your metabolism hasn't slowed down yet, you haven't had the stress of supporting a family paying a mortage and driving kids around!.

it's called convenience although fast food restaurants were around they weren't at every street corner, also lack of motivation with everything at a click of a button no one has to work anymore, they've lost their drive and their masculinity as a hot single Australian girl my dream of marrying a hot American is dwindling, i may have to go to Montana after all, bring on the cowboysWww@Answer-Health@Com
DRIVE is the key word!. Americans drive everywhere!. I don't know why and how do you notice the change cause you weren't even born in the 70s and judging from the movies may be misleading!.

there where fat people in the 50's 60's and onward!.
Still are, of course!.
One more thing to add to what others have said!.
As a rule - we Americans no longer "make" anything!. More and more of us sit behind a desk, pushing paper and thinking for a job!. As technolgy increases - labor is decreased!. Even in construction!. This is not always a bad thing, but can have side effects!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well i'm 18, 6'6 in height, and 300+ in weight (not over 320) i dont see a problem with fat people just a problem with ignorant people like you my good sir, people like you say FAT IS A CRIME!, fat isnt a crime, some of us chose to be fat cause we like the soft squishy feeling, and some of us havent chosen to be fat, and those some are ones who got way too into mcdonalds cause their always in a hurry, or their in a state of depression so they eat and hide behind food!. now Not all american men become overweight theres women too not to say their pigs like you'd say they are, to me, BIG, FAT, Chubby, chunky etc, is beautiful to me, so are skinny girls but not the ones where you can see their ribs when they bend over or something!. People think its sexy to be skinny or muscular to me, its sexy to be what you always wanted to be, it sexy to be your self, it sexy by your personality, and if you notice person is in personality, but no one cares for that much any more cause all the world is about any more is sex drugs violence and good looks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Haha at corpulent!. Perfect use for that word!. Anyways, I believe it is a combination of diet and lacking regular exercise!. I do wonder though if "corpulent" men give corpulent genetics to their children!. Also consider it is more acceptable and commonplace to be overweight!.
I believe ultimately the key is this "fast food nation"!. Think about it, if a person consumes in great excess more calories per day than they are burning, they will gain considerable weight!. Being overweight then may turn into depression which causes more unhealthy eating habits and so the cycle continues!.
Ashely made a great point about stress!. I think there is much more stress in todays society, especially in jobs!. People in turn channel that stress through eating!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

sadly its not just men its also our counter parts!. awhile back me and a friend of mine were checking out this fat "chick" with a pretty face!. We both agreed she was really pretty but he said he still would have nothing to do with her- I said I would consider it- he said she must not love her self because she really let her self go, and that if you love yourself everthing just takes care of itself!. I believe my friend was correct!. So my retort is: if your fat, man or women you must not love yourself-Fat Americans dont love themselvesWww@Answer-Health@Com
