Why is obesity such a problem in the USA? (Page 4)

[Numbnuts89]

you're talking about how big people are, when someone just died at the hands of a police officer

since when have cops become the executioner. i thought that's what court is for

[EnglundUberAlles]

Rather counterintuitively it's linked to poverty. Poor people in the US aren't starving but what they eat is all poor quality with very high fat and sugar content.

[grif429]

we eat our feelings. processed foods and sugar additives like aspertame. non balance diet a lot of people just don't have or want to make a healthy meal

[Arjunaguy]

High consumption of processed foods and no exercise

[Beth12345]

Not to be rude but, at first I thought that was her back side. 😳

[MadBoy]

Because cheap food is terrible for you, and healthy food tastes not as good and is more expensive? And American people are usually broke?

[monkeynutts]

Fast food, inactivity. Disease. And failure of people to take responsibility for their habits and often health.

[sirrober126]

Because the convince of fat and unhealthy food. The cost of sweet drink over water.

[Andrea3849]

It's not online in USA. Is everywhere. I'm from Czech and I have 159 cm and 85kg. I start work on me. And this is the problem. They didn't want the change himself. 🙂 All this is my opinion.

Its gluttony and abundance
Also our culture doesn't teach us moderation

[genericname85]

because sugar is more addictive than heroin. that's why.

[genericname85]

and the "have it your way" culture doesn't exactly "help" with being healthy.

[SunnyCaliGirl]

Because people are lazy and love to eat processed foods that they don't need

[Trooper205]

People have denied TRUE foods, and Hard Work. Obesity exists due to Gluttony and Laziness.

[Anonymous]

Processed food is cheaper and more available than ever. Individual daily exercise is at an all-time low. Combined, those factors produce one of the highest obesity rates in the world.

[not329446]

Most weight problems have medical issues. I eat a abundance of fattening foods and only wish I could gain weight.

[888theGreat]

Some of it is too much free food from Gov't and some is Trump. Yes economy was so good and so much money made , people start eating too much.

[Ianto]

Corn syrup? Hormone treated meat? Endemic fast food? Coca-Cola?

[Theodoricus]

Because of less movement and more calories. In addition, genetic reasons from the past.

[Meatunnel69]

We use cars to get around and consume oceans of soda pop and refined carbohydrates.

[AcidT0y]

Because of all the gluttony. Yanks eat too much. Simple as that.
