There's plenty of muscular fit people in America as well...I happen to be one of them and yes Creatine, Whey Protein, and Glucosamine in giant tubs can be found in my kitchen, lol.
As to your question. Business on all ends are propagating misinformation regarding exercise and nutrition. Fast food is basically cheap junk that's loaded with fat, transfat, etc, etc, and people buy it because it's quick, easy, and cheap. How many people stop and ask themselves, "If they're selling this burger for $1, what the fuck are they putting into it that allows this to be profitable still?"
Then the diet industry comes along with a quick fix...one that only exacerbates the problem by offering a fad solution to the problem. People focus on "losing weight" and don't consider the fact that it's not about losing weight, it's about losing fat while maintaining lean muscle. People fad diet, they lose fat and lean muscle...at the end of it they've killed their metabolism, they gain the weight back, only now they have less lean muscle mass.
Let's face it, if you told the average person to workout 6 days a week, do heavy weight lifting, and cardio...eat 6 small meals a day, no refined sugars, etc. How many people would do that? But say, "workout 5 minutes 3 times a week and you'll be thin" and everyone will buy into it.
