    Why are there so many FAT people in USA?

    WHY?

    Too much food in each home? They are lazy? McDonalds? Or maybe the USA race is genetically predisposed to store fat?

                      high fructose corn syrup in Dr Scott Connelly's book he shows a graph and you can see the growth in obesity parallels the growth of use of high fructose corn syrup.

                          You're in America, but not the US, so what ,you must be a Canadian? You still know the answer in any case. People have bad diets filled with processed food with unhealthy ingredients, they overeat and they have little or no exercise.

                                      New Hardee's breakfast burrito has 920 calories

                                      By JIM SALTER
                                      Associated Press
                                      Published on: 10/15/07

                                      St. Louis ? The people who brought you the Monster Thickburger and the 1,100-calorie salad are at it again ? this time for breakfast.

                                      The Country Breakfast Burrito is two egg omelets filled with bacon, sausage, diced ham, cheddar cheese, hash browns and sausage gravy, all wrapped inside a flour tortilla.


                                      Hardee's on Monday rolled out its new Country Breakfast Burrito ? two egg omelets filled with bacon, sausage, diced ham, cheddar cheese, hash browns and sausage gravy, all wrapped inside a flour tortilla. The burrito contains 920 calories and 60 grams of fat.

                                      Brad Haley, marketing chief for the St. Louis-based fast-food chain, said the burrito offers the sort of big breakfast item normally found in sit-down restaurants with an added advantage.

                                      "It makes this big country breakfast portable," he said.

                                      In 2003 the chain introduced a line of big sandwiches, including the Monster Thickburger. The 1,420-calorie sandwich is made up of two 1/3-pound slabs of beef, four strips of bacon, three slices of cheese and mayonnaise on a buttered bun.

                                      Even Hardees' chicken salad ? topped with onion rings and crispy chicken ? has 1,100 calories and 83 grams of fat.

                                      The chain does offer some low-calorie options, including roast beef and chicken sandwiches.

                                      The Center for Science in the Public Interest, a Washington-based advocate for nutrition and health, has called the Hardee's line of Thickburgers "food porn."

                                      Haley makes no apologies.

                                      "We don't try to hide what these are," he said. "When consumers go to other fast-food places they feel like they've got to buy two of their breakfast sandwiches or burritos to fill up. This is really designed to fill you up."

                                      The government's Center for Nutritional Policy and Promotion recommends a daily caloric intake ranging from 1,600 calories for sedentary women and older adults to 2,800 calories for teenage boys and active adults. Hardee's sees its core customers as young men ages 18 to 34, Haley said, though it expects a wider range for breakfast items.

                                      The Country Breakfast Burrito is generally available for $2.69 by itself or $4.09 for a combo that includes hash rounds and coffee.

                                          I actually think a big part of the reason is due to the whole "low fat" craze that was pushed down our throats over the past few decades. The government and all the health officials started telling people that fat was bad. Companies went out and made "low fat" products that were stacked with sugar and corn syrup. Everyone thought they were being healthy when in fact they weren't. Fat isn't bad, certain types of fat are.

                                          Another reason is the fact that it's easier and cheaper to eat unhealthy. Fruit and lean meats are expensive. Good meals take time to make. Fast food has gotten so fast and so easy that it makes a tempting alternative. Marketing has gotten savvy, people are confused and uneducated on health issues.

                                          And this isn't just a problem in the US. The UK is seeing a huge increase in obesity over the past few years. Canada has also had large increases over the past couple decades. While the US has the highest numbers, other countries are catching up quick as globalization takes over.

                                              1) bad foods/diet
                                              2) lazy/no exersize
                                              3) medication - all americans are on meds these days and alot of meds cause weight gain
                                              4) environment/bad parenting - kids are growing up fat due to the way their parents are and what their parents feed them, thus continuing the cycle.
                                              5) fad diets/ignorance - fat people think a certain fad diet will cure their obesity. ignorance of nutrition; what to eat/when to eat it.

                                                              Wrong foods + lots of it + no exercise.

                                                              The reasons for those are lengthy. But I guess in the end it comes down to individual choice (medical issues aside).

High-fructose corn syrup, derived from corn, is more economical since the American price of sugar is artificially far higher than the global price of sugar[10] and the price of #2 corn is artificially low due to both government subsidies and dumping on the market as farmers produce more corn annually.[11][12]"

The theory has been proved that if you buy smaller portions you'll eat less - and if everything in the food store is HUGE (and a better bargain, obviously) ... well, see what happens?

                                                                                                  Take a look at the shelf space in supermarkets taken up by rows of utter crap drinks - all filled with corn extract and additives. It speaks volumes.

                                                                                                  The numbers of farmers who last grew a vegetable/greens is getting rarer tho some know exactly what they are doing and do it very well.

                                                                                                  Can be summarized by a prime beef breeder - the guy is a human doc as well as a vet and has some serious walking beef stock. He never injects crap into his herd to enhance their production value, but keeps quoting "Feed them with crap and the end product will be crap - it's that simple". His beef was excellent

They also don't want to admit that they are at the root of this problem, so they just try to blame something else and then sit on their fat ass all day long while munching on gigantic sized portions of highly caloric non nutritive food.

                                                                                                                  It's just a question/combination of common sense, will power, priorities, honesty with yourself and maturity. I'm excluding the 0.4% of the population who have a genetic disorder from that conclusion. And no, YOU don't have a genetic disorder! Unless your doctor tells you so which is VERY FUCKING rare.

                                                                                                                      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.

                                                                                                                                      ? 60 percent of Americans are overweight (fat enough to experience directly related health problems).

                                                                                                                                      ? About 20 percent of us are obese (so fat that our lives will be cut short).

                                                                                                                                      ? More than 5 million Americans are morbidly obese ? so obese that they qualify for gastroplasty, a radical surgical technique that keeps the stomach from digesting food. The American Bariatric Society performs these procedures and reports that there are months-long waiting lists and that its surgeons can't keep up.

                                                                                                                                      ? 25 percent of all Americans under age nineteen are overweight or obese.

                                                                                                                                      ? Obesity disproportionately plagues the poor. Among Mexican American women from twenty to seventy-four years of age, the obesity rate is about 13 percent higher for those living below the poverty line.

                                                                                                                                      ? Diabetes occurs at a rate of 16 to 26 percent in both Hispanic and black Americans aged forty-five to seventy-four, compared to 12 percent of non-Hispanic whites the same age.

                                                                                                                                                  Fat free milk can have over 50 carbs per cup and the average American drinks four to five cups a day. Kids get fat free milk in school now that fills them with carbs.

                                                                                                                                                                          The Romans were the most gluttonous society in history, they ate tons of food, drank lots of wine, and had lots of orgies.
                                                                                                                                                                          Oh come on, you can't be serious. The average poor person in the Roman Empire, like most people in ancient times was short, slender and slightly muscular, perhaps with a little paunch from working manual labor for hours per day and eating moderately healthy food. That's if they were lucky and they weren't existing on the edge of starvation.. You can't compare the exceptional cases of how the Roman senators or wealthy individual Romans ate or lived.

                                                                                                                                                                                      Fat free means bad taste so they now use sugar to make things taste better.

                                                                                                                                                                                      Fat free milk can have over 50 carbs per cup and the average American drinks four to five cups a day. Kids get fat free milk in school now that fills them with carbs.

                                                                                                                                                                                      Real milk with real fat has ZERO carbs !

                                                                                                                                                                                      We now eat fake butter that is low fat but high sugar and fake oil when real butter is almost all fat but 100% carb free !

                                                                                                                                                                                      Almost everything in the US is low fat but they replaced the fat with sugar so it doesn't taste like shit and now almost everyone is fat from the fat free foods !
                                                                                                                                                                                      Thank you very much. I've been saying this for awhile. Most fats are good for us. It's the sugar which is making the country fat.

Everything is made for convenience here. Nobody wants to walk a few extra steps from their car, or walk down the block to the store. Nobody wants to take a few moments out of their day to cook a nutritious meal. Nobody wants to take a few moments to take their kids out to the park and just let them sit in front of the tv and play video games. Nobody wants to do any work here, plain and simple.
