Why do you think obesity is a problem in America?

Do you blame it on personal responsibility, fast food corporations, government, food manufacturers, media..........?

People making bad choices is the number one reason.

No one can blame anyone or anything but themselves.

The lack of personal accountability, and wanting to always blame someone else is a big part of the problem. The biggest part of the problem is the instant gratification of our society.

computers, office jobs, rich americans, lazyness, tooooo educated, and yes-- fast food.

Willing mexicans that come here and do jobs

obesity is not as big as a problem as the media would have you believe.

i think it is a combination of things:

1. Americans are living faster, want things faster, and have less time.
2. convenience, more people have cars and drive everywhere, sit on the couch and do everything, no physical activity really needed
3. advertisements taunt about quick and easy meals, less time to prepare.
4. people are just forgetting how to cook basic foods, so they buy pre prepared dishes

the eating habits have changed due to this, so it is ok now for sunday dinner to be McDonalds, school lunch to be a candy bar, with chips and a soda. and a real meal is considered kentucky fried chicken
