Answers:
We have easy access to fast food!. We have very sedentary lives!. We drive everywhere instead of bike or walk!. We have easy access to grocery stores and supermarkets!. We sit in front of the televisions at night!. Our kids don't go outside and play anymore!. We have a mentality that bigger is better (super-sized portions, super-sized vehicles), etc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The American life-style is so much more fast-paced and busy then other nations!. We constantly need to eat food quickly and on the go!. Thus, the creation of fast food!. Also, the average family in Europe takes around an hour to eat dinner together!. I would say we take about 20 minutes!. The quicker you eat your food, the harder it is for your stomach to digest it all, and it will eventually turn alot of the food into fat, when it does not have to be!. But mainly, the fast-paced life style in which we live is the main reason!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

two words : fatty foods!. US Americans have more fatty foods than other nations!. For example, look at Japan and China!. More Chinese people are overweight due to the foods they eat like stir fry, and their heavy sauces but most Japanese people aren't because athey eat healthy things such as meat with light sauce, different salads, and rice!. It's just a matter of the different cultures!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There have been so many questions just like this!. (At least 20 in the last few months) Obviously no one exactly knows what factors are causing the rise in obesity or it wouldn't exist or be on the decline!. It makes me wonder is it that people are really worried about this health problem or is it just people from other countries saying your all fat HA! HA! You should also know that other countries are getting fatter as well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
