None or shitty public health programmes (probably too "socialist" for Americans, I'm not talking about healthcare here, I'm talking about public health propaganda) combined with a consumerist culture and a lack of physician exercise being a habit like in some European countries.

It's mostly our women who are fat. Idk why, but when I graduated high school (2005) there was like 10 obese men and about 90 obese women (out of 2,000) that was a survey I did for my science fair project.
Were bigoted because our school system sucks and we're so religious because all of Europe's religious people's came over here.
Hell, my state was founded by Quakers.

Y'know how back in school, everyone would tease the nerdy girl; pull her hair, kick her shins, pull her pants down, etc? And then she'd go home and comfort eat? Well, America is basically the nerdy girl in this situation. They're comfort eating on a macro level, because they are so relentlessly teased by other nations. (We British are too, but higher levels of autism mean our obesity level is slightly lower)

My opinion is that we eat too much grain and meat and don't eat enough vegetables (I'm not a vegetarian or vegan). The amount of soda consumed is also alarming. People also drive everywhere.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention poor infrastructure. Since a lot of us live in suburbs, we tend to be 10-15 minutes away from the nearest supermarket, so we just drive to places instead of take a 30-45 minute walk. It sucks, and it's just the way it is here in Florida, where it took me 50 minutes to walk to the grocery store, while in my trips to various places across the world, it was a 5 minute walk and it was something everybody could do safely.

We've been debating this for years. Here's my working theory. It's made up of multiple factors.

-Poverty. Obesity is most rampant in our poorest states and communities. Southerners are overwhelmingly fatter than their Northern counterparts, as are blacks and latinos to their caucasian and asian counterparts. It's easier and cheaper to eat fat foods and many poor families don't know how/don't care to eat frugally and healthily. This is what Michelle Obama was trying to promote and the right wing fatties attacked her for it. I come from a middle class family, we eat home-cooked meals at least 5 nights a week. Nobody in our nuclear family is obese.

-Ignorance and habit. This ties into poverty. Many American families are content with eating shit, because they don't care if they gain weight and they're so used to eating shit.

-Lack of regulation within the food industry. Now, I'm not saying every American food company is like this. However, Republicans get butthurt whenever we try to regulate food standards, so we've got companies shoving low-quality ingredients, HFCS, sodium, etc. into their food which makes it cheap to make, but unhealthy to eat on a regular basis. Whenever somebody brings up the notion of forcing more accountability on the companies, we get into a debate about MUH FREEDUM and STAHP POLICING MUH EATING HABITS, BIG GUBMINT! and nothing gets done.

Basically, all I can say is keep shaming fat Americans. Even more, shame yourselves. Many European countries aren't far behind the States in obesity and a few are projected to surpass us. Don't use us as the gauge for "acceptable obesity" or else you'll end up going "America has 40% obesity and we have only 35%, so that makes us sculpted statues in comparison!"

This is probably what pisses me off the most about our food industry, so much unhealthy shit is put into our foods, which I wouldn't mind except that the alternatives are usually pricier and harder to find. If it was an actual choice I wouldn't really care.

A lot of americans are fat because they're poor, you stupid fuck. Do you think these people enjoy it? Most of the these people are very depressed and had a shitload of problems. Most of them eat no more that you or I but it's what they it which makes the difference. Many fat people live in extremely rural areas where "healthy" food isn't exactly in great supply. I drove through kansas and Missouri yesterday and the only food available to these people was absolutely shit. A great deal of them also hunt for themselves. They live in an environment vastly different than that of you euroanimals. Now, I'm not speaking for all fatasses in america of course. If you live in a city and you aren't dirt poor, then congrats, you're a fatass american with no reason to be so. However, you need to seriously take into the demographics of where these "amerifats" live. I'm so sick of hearing this question from you dumbasses. Promptly light yourself on fire.

Nobody cooks their own food anymore
Everything is either pre-made, frozen, & sold for cheap
Or people just go out to fast-food joints to eat
Soda, chips & burgers are cheap
Healthy foods are expensive & so are gym memberships
There's very little diet & physical health education for children because they'd get sued for calling their kids fat or something
Parents pass on their shitty eating habits to their children who then are gown up to know no better & the cycle repeats

Mass produced foods are usually combined together with several different companies so that if disease or something breaks out, they have plenty of time to clean up their mess and cover their tracks while feds slowly investigate.

Regardless of how fattening food may be, the real problem is how much is consumed compared to how much energy is burned.

Considering how little many people exercise its not hard to eat in excess. Even minorities and poor people can exercise to burn the ten thousand calories they consume a day, however a lack of (efficient) knowledge, motivation, and laziness may be (slightly) more prevalent in those categories. However both groups are pointless to mention due to the fact that obesity is not exclusive to them.

Not speaking for Americans, but this is a growing trend in all countries. Everybody's getting fatter because it's more convenient and hurts less feelings to maintain the status quo rather than to adjust the content and amounts of what we eat.

Perhaps not but on average they will not contain the same amount of 'good stuff' a fresh meal will. A frozen lasagna is, 9 times out of 10, not as healthy as a home cooked one.

It would be naive to believe you can substitute your meals with pre-mades entirely.

So a weekly diet that contains more of those kinds of meals than fresh, self-cooked ones is not going to be as good for you in the long run.

What did you expect? Despite claiming to not be trolling, using phrases like "You literally are fat as hell." and "Is this how you're gonna keep your image up, by being lazy fat fucks?" are deliberately inflammatory.
Also the statement "You rarely get to hear any of these obesity or bigotry reports from continents like Europe." is fucking side-splitting.
Also citing "The Most Hated Family in America" as the standard for American religiousness? Typical troll move.
If you want a productive discussion about obesity in America, it has to start with you.

OK, lets assume you are not trollin' ....

Food is incredibly plentiful, inexpensive, and varied in the USA. Every kind of cuisine and dish is available in MOST cities large and small, and most towns, too.

Second, we drive nice vehicles everywhere. And I do mean everywhere (East Coast fags are the exception). In Texas, we get in our 3 ton Chevy Suburbans just to go get the newspaper from our driveways :-)

Third, don't confuse being fat with being feeble. I'm 6'0" tall and 285 lbs, and I run the 40 yard dash in about 4.7 seconds. I am as strong as two Europeans combined, and I have more technology available to me than anyone else on the planet in terms of self-defense.

I also have excellent medical care, even though it is incredibly expensive. University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center will save me if I get cancer or any heart problems.

Scientifically, though, me being a fat-tard will shorten my life, on average. We can't ignore science, despite what Europoors think about Americans we actually are very technical people for the most part.

Oh, and most of our food is genetically modified, full of sugar and high fructose corn syrup, and is scientifically designed to get us hooked on it. Only now is the vegetarian, vegan, and natural foods movement taking real hold (courtesy of Wholes Foods Market and CostCo).

OK, Ameri-bro, you wrote:

"-Poverty. Obesity is most rampant in our poorest states and communities. Southerners are overwhelmingly fatter than their Northern counterparts, as are blacks and latinos to their caucasian and asian counterparts. It's easier and cheaper to eat fat foods and many poor families don't know how/don't care to eat frugally and healthily. This is what Michelle Obama was trying to promote and the right wing fatties attacked her for it. I come from a middle class family, we eat home-cooked meals at least 5 nights a week. Nobody in our nuclear family is obese."

Some of this is just flat out wrong. 80% of Texans are suburban, for example, and the wealth in Dallas-Ft. Worth, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin exceeds nearly all places in the world.

Our southern cuisine, however, is LOADED with fat, sugar, corn syrup/molasses, carbs of all kinds, and we smoke our meats. It is delicious but very fattening. A LOT of our plates are filled with "yellow food", in other words - fried!

Brit-bro, we have world's greatest supermarkets. I mean it. In Austin, we have H-E-B, Randalls, Krogers, Albertsons, CostCo, WalMart, Whole Foods (the flagship is located here), Sprouts, and whatnot.

Our produce sections would make you weep. We eat a lot of veggies - we just eat a lot of everything else, too. And we eat a LOT of crap we shouldn't.

Murrica has fantastic veggies. Buying in bulk is so laughably efficient here, if you have even the most BASIC culinary talent. You can buy potato sacks full of rice for pocket change, if you know where to look.

Problem is, most people don't want to cook. They buy T.V. dinners, or order fast food, or all sorts of such garbage. They don't buy a shiton of eggs/meat/rice/veggies and say "I WONDER WHAT I CAN MAKE TODAY!". They simply don't consider the idea of it.

It really is tragic.

I understand every single one of your points and agree that bad parerenting habbits passed on to their children is probably the major cause of this problem (you can thank feminism for that because both parents have the right to work and not be a slave to the kitchen I am woman hear me roar down with good parenting it is just patriarchy) but how can you say healthy foods are expensive or gym memberships cost a lot? You can buy so many cheap vegetables, pulses and meats that will last a week for the price of a family take-away for a single night. as for gyms, they are dirt cheap here, you can go to one for a tenner a week and even cheaper (I went to one for £2.50 a week once) and even if you can't afford that (times are hard I understand) America is a big place and from what I read by them everything is spaced out...just use those two things underneath your hip.

The main cause is poor parenting and the collapse of the family unit (guess which fascist movement is responcible for that, I'll give you a hint "being a parent is oppresive and I have every right to work all day and neglect my children like any man can").

>Lack of regulation within the food industry. Now, I'm not saying every American food company is like this. However, Republicans get butthurt whenever we try to regulate food standards, so we've got companies shoving low-quality ingredients, HFCS, sodium, etc. into their food which makes it cheap to make, but unhealthy to eat on a regular basis. Whenever somebody brings up the notion of forcing more accountability on the companies, we get into a debate about MUH FREEDUM and STAHP POLICING MUH EATING HABITS, BIG GUBMINT! and nothing gets done.

No. Stop that shit. Nobody forces them to eat that steroid and growth hormone-packed shit that people call "food". I eat nothing but organic food, not that shit a Walmart. I've never been healthier.

You can do that in most American cities - but most Americans are proudly suburban. I am. Clean air, clean water, safe neighborhoods, nice yards (gardens to y'all), friendly neighbors, amenities like community pools, tennis courts, parks, etc. and excellent schools.

OTOH, when I visit city centers (you'd call them CBD's) I can't deny the excitement and convenience. Houston, of all places, is amazing. No zoning. Everything is within walking distance, or get in your goddamn S.U.V., boy, and git to where ya want to go.

Our "poor people" make the rest of the world look like Biafra. They're pretty well off compared to the rest of his planet.

From knowing a few Americans I've noticed there's sometimes no care or thought into how much food is being ate, like it's normal to devour a huge bag of chips or two as a snack Or buying more than one meal at a fastfood joint is normal.

Oh, I don't disagree with you. But such a mentality is part of what's causing obesity, yadda yadda yadda.

In turn, the "I'd rather t.v. dinner than cook" mentality comes from the FASTFASTFASTGOTTARUSHGOTTAGOFAST mentality.

Yep. We eat huge portions. We really love to pack it away, and as I said, a lot of it has added sugars of various kinds, carbs, and processed ingredients.

Fresh food is always available and a LOT of people buy it now, but we ALSO eat a lot of other shit, too. {sigh}

And the amount of conflicting messaging (advertisements, propaganda, diets, guilt, etc.) is staggering. Staggering, I tell you.

8 goddamn months. Going from $130K a year to basically zero. I cut out ALL the crap and JUST bought healthy foods in smaller quantities.

Poor people need to DEMAND fresh produce in their stores, especially organics.
