What do you think the major cause of obesity in America?



i personally have eaten a lot of fruits and vegetables (non organic because i only learned what organic food was about 2 years ago)
and im very skinny and healthy and strong. although i have eaten fast food hundreds of times, drank more than 100 gallons of soda prolly around 2000 gallons of soda i've drinken considering i drink soda everyday. pretty much i have eaten everything never been on a diet.

so i think its a lack of fruits and vegetables, what do you think?

It's definitely the diet. Too much fatty and sugary foods that take the place of healthier foods. Too many calories consumed in a day. A sedentary lifestyle. Way too much junk, processed, and refined foods.
"Fat Fries" and "Fat Burgers".
well i think its just LAZINESS.
nobody wants to get up and do anything anymore.
i can sit back and relax now, because ive already went to the gym and worked out for 2 and 1/2 hours. but everybody is just too lazy
you sound young
many people are genetically predisposed to be obese and others are lucky in that they have to eat a lot to gain weight
when someone with a high propensity to be obese has a very poor diet including trans fats and high fructose corn syrup and other sugars, and especially if they're not exercising, they can gain weight very quickly.
even if you don't have the obesity gene your chances for being fat are still pretty certain if you consume more calories than you burn.
and just because your thin now, it doesn't mean you'll always be so thin, as you age your metabolism slows and it's harder to lose weight, and sounds like you're addicted to sugar and I imagine that if you started to gain weight and tried to go on a diet, you'd find it very difficult to give up the sugars and also , fast food is addictive as well and just because you might be skinny, it doesn't necessarily mean that you are healthy on the inside, because high sugars and fats can cause all kinds of health problems that you won't even know about until you're older.
The major cause of obesity in America is Junk food and lack of exercise...add other bad habits like skipping breakfast or eating too large portions and you get an overweight country.
Lack of health education and fast food joints.
