Why Are Americans SO Fat?? pt1

Obesity and being overweight is a serious problem in the United States, both to our personal health and the health of loved ones, and the impact related diseases have on the cost of Health Care.

Heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, breathing and mobility problems are just a few of the damaging effects obesity causes

Why are Americans so fat? I think it comes down to Education, Sedentary Lifestyle, Lack of Exercise, and Personal food choices.

What do you think?

@USAForLife2057 Feb. 10, 2010 -- More Americans are becoming overweight or obese, exercising less, and eating unhealthy foods.

That’s the finding of the latest Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, which shows that 63.1% of adults in the U.S. were either overweight or obese in 2009.

That was a small but measurable increase from 62.2% the previous year. The survey finds that 36.6% of Americans are overweight and 26.5% obese.

Europe as a whole has a lot more activities for people to do and it simply has more "walkability" whereas in America you almost MUST drive anywhere to see anything.

@duckbabe12 even the healthiest of people need to get check ups at least once a year. unless you're a conspiracy theorist or jesus christ scientist..

[astrolabe1976]

@duckbabe12 you work at a hospital and you don't go to the doctor? What? So all thin people are secretly hiding from doctors in the United States?

[astrolabe1976]

@duckbabe12 from the CDC Percent of adults age 20 years and over who are obese: 34% (2007-2008) Percent of adults age 20 years and over who are overweight (and not obese): 34% (2007-2008)
