Politics help: ok question for usa! - Help.com

haha… well it is a valid question… although a little stereotypical lol.

umm… well not being from the usa i would not know… maybe it has to do something with the fact that most famous fast food chains started there?

Yes, we are “phat!” And we love it too!

I would say a lot steriotypical. Just because you watch the news about obesity in America, and see a bunch of fat ppl in the news clip, doesn’t mean everyone here is. The statistics is, 1 fat to every 50 skinny. So you see, it’s not that bad. You should know that the news blows everything out of proportion just for you to watch it. Try not to be so gullible.

My guess is that people get addicted to fast food from a young age, and then never break that addiction later in life because it would cost them more money/take more time to actually try to eat better. Just look at what is being served at schools. I remember back in Middle School we could buy Tacos, Pizza, Hamburgers, huge things of fries, and they all probably came from some local fast food chain. Didn’t help that the cafeteria also had vending machines that gave out soda, candy, and bags of chips. Then in High School where we had about 30 minutes to eat a lunch, and with an open campus this resulted in everyone going to Papa Johns, or some Chinese place that was in that area. Maybe stop by a vending machine to grab a Monster or whatever other ultra sugar drinks there were.

So, yeah that’s probably the best explanation I can come up with on the spot like that. Maybe I’ll do a little research if I feel like it sometime.

We eat garbage, dont excercise, dont care anymore….We are a fat country, but some of us stay slim, but that is the exception..

Wow, you much have gone to a richly rich school. My school (Catholic)had only one vending machine and that contained cigarettes for the teachers….lol
That’s remarkable that you had all that food in your school.

i’m pure blooded American (whatever that may mean) and i’m not fat nor have i ever been :P i think there’s an abundance of cheap unhealthy food and most people don’t have the ability to say no to it.

Here. This is for you to emphasize the stereotype!
