Re: Non-Americans, what do you find puzzling about American culture?

Why are Americans so fat? Has obesity become the new normal?

Everything has sugar and we drive more than we walk because everything's far. I will say that not all Americans are obese and not all of them are fat. I personally am, but my sisters aren't because they hit the gym everyday.

Giant portion sizes, processed/mass-produced low quality food is actually cheapest, an overall home, commuting, and work culture that prioritizes sedentary desk jobs and long commutes in cars over living near work, walking/biking, and general mobility...there's a lot of factors.

I don't like it, but capitalism is king and our culture has chosen driving, sitting at a desk all day, and junk food as the things to be lauded, and so the rest of our market - from vehicle sales to home sales to farming to government money for infrastructure - supports the culture no matter how terrible it is. We also devalue things that are altruistic, like thinking about the environment, our schools/children, our infrastructure, and our impact on other people while valuing selfishness and consumerism. We mock people who would like to grow their own food or bike to work or plant more trees and save the bees, and throw money at bigger houses, bigger cars, and politicians who talk big about making all the brown people go away.

Really, America sucks and I don't know why anyone wants to emigrate here. I'd leave if I could.

Cheap foods are fatty. Straight up. I need fuel to live, and I can buy Hamburger Helper for a week or two, including meat, on $40. For that amount I could eat healthy... for a couple of days. Combine that with, personally, being disabled and walking and things that move my joints not being a thing I can do a lot of or people too busy working multiple jobs because you need to make ends meet.

where are you from? Bet your country has a rising obesity rate, too.

Re: Non-Americans, what do you find puzzling about American culture?

[(Anonymous)]

If they do, it's probably due to the arrival of American companies.

Re: Non-Americans, what do you find puzzling about American culture?

[(Anonymous)]

Both probably true.

Re: Non-Americans, what do you find puzzling about American culture?

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, because English breakfasts, fish and chips, and guiness are so low calorie

* readily available, relatively cheap food tends to be high in fat, sugar and carbs
* this includes fast food and most restaurants but also convenience foods which also come in large portions
* very sedentary lifestyles
* most people don't know how to cook properly, so making meals for themselves that are both cheap AND healthy seems impossible, they don't even know where to begin and it feels pointless when you can just hit up Taco Bell or McDonalds dollar menu.
