Answers:

Because they stuff themselves with processed foods and have too much unhealthy fat in everything they eat. They don't take time to make food for themselves, so they end up eating fast food. They eat too much meat and don't balance it out with vegetables. They don't have a starch-based diet and don't check the food labels. Too much candy, too much fat, too much saturated fat, too much sugar, not enough whole foods.



1) lack of exercise
2) cheap food = bad for your health; good quality stuff are expensive, so most Americans want to save money thinking that they'll save money & get something good to eat
3) we believe in big portions, 3 big meals. but really 4 to 6 meals throughout the day keeps you fuller and more active
4) lack of health education, not many people paid attention in their health classes when they were in high school
5) most people don't like to visit the doctors, costly for their medical bills
6) peer pressure, most people people hang out with encourages other people to eat more and do what they do
7) genetics - if obesity runs inside the family, its hard to lose weight, and increases lots of risks, nothing you can do about it, but reduce it
8) diseases, hyperthyroid disease (I have hypothyroid), hyper is high, meaning a person can gain weight easily but cannot lose weight. (I have I cant gain weight, but could lsoe weight) this affects your thyroid & metabolism



Honestly how i got fat was by binging on unhealthy food when i was in a mood (mad, bored, etc) i did some exercise though if i have not exercise i would of gotten more fat. My parents don't buy ANYMORE junk/fast food. But when i was young they bought all the unhealthy stuff. Now i have horrible eating habits that i have to change and will lose weight. So yeah i blame them for some part. But now that I'm 18 years old i blame myself. It's time to stop stuffing my mouth with crap if i want to live longer.
To put it simply it's how ppl don't exercise or make there food at home anymore. That's what gotten americans fat and obse. There other reasons that could be. But MOST. Others they have other reason why there that way. :0
