You people are stupid. It has nothing to do with the fact that we're rich, and everything o do with the fact that we're hyper-capitalist/corporatist.

People are dumb and have zero self-control everywhere on the planet. People are rich in plenty of other nations than ours.

The difference is that we refuse to put any controls whatsoever on corporations and what they do/produce/advertise. And we provide incentives for making food that is devoid of healthfulness

>high poverty
That's a lie the fatties tell you Denmark, grocery stores in the U.S. sell the cheapest food of almost any developed country, hell a pound of boneless skinless chicken is less than $2 in most places and fruits and vegetables are super cheap if you buy in season, I just got a pound of Georgia peaches for 75 cents this morning.

If you want to get into a cultural thing Americans have lost most sense of long term planning or restraint, and rather than admitting that most Americans will make up excuses so it's "not their fault" that they're fat. Having been a fatass at one point myself and lost the weight I think it might actually be easier to lose weight in the U.S. than in most countries, gyms are everywhere, calorie labels are freely available for almost any restaurant, and lean meets are cheap.

Also our nutrition education is godawful, the media is constantly pushing retarded fad diets and the "nutrition pyramid" that most people grew up with is a product of grain industry lobbying that will make you a fat fuck if you try to follow it.

Look your heart is in the right place but weight loss is ultimately a matter of personal choice. Fast food is not the direct line to obesity that many claim it is, know how many calories are in it and don't go over your allotment for that meal.

As an aside have a pic of a smug dumb fatty. Look at the smile and try not to get angry, I dare you!

It really doesn't. There are tons of cuts of meat avaliable for around $2 a pound, and if you buy seasonally you can get veggies for very cheap. Potatoes, eggs, noodles, and rice are your staples.

Fast food is actually expensive as fuck. I spent $20-30 a week on food in college and if i bought fast food I'd go broke.

for an individual, it's a matter of choice.

when you look at a population, the more obstacles there are, the more people who will fail.

that's just a fact because that's what obstacles do. It's not pure capitalist not to care that these corporations externalize the costs of there horrible practices onto us (in the form of increased healthcare costs, environmental damage, ethical disaster). that's just being their bitch

>Increasingly sedentary lifestyles
>Jobs that require physical labor have been slowly disappearing over the last few decades
>Majority of the population lives in communities that were built up entirely around the automobile, walking or biking to get around isn't feasible
>Nutrition not taught or valued very highly
>Incredibly cheap and plentiful food
>More disposable income compared to other Western countries
Its the perfect storm to produce an overweight populace. Though I wouldn't be talking Mexico, you overtook us in fatness a few years back.

Almost every single added sugar comes from high fructose corn syrup. Added sugar wasn't such a problem when it was cane sugar (50% sucrose 50% fructose) but now all added sugars are from high fructose corn syrup (100% fructose) you find the obesity levels sky rocket.
Sucrose makes you feel full and fructose makes you feel hungrier after ingesting. Cane sugar has a neutral effect on appetite. It doesn't make you hungrier or fuller.
High fructose corn syrup only makes you hungrier after ingesting. Products with it will never make you feel full or atleast take way more calories to make you feel full.

This is agregated by the fact that fewer and fewer Americans are making breakfast lunch and dinner at home from scratch. So more and more meals are prepackaged or bought from fast food or restaurants. Prepackaged and restaurant bought meals on average are less healthy and more chocked full of sugar then anything you make at home.

Lastly if one makes 90% or so of all their own meals at home from scratch, they are more intrinsically tied to the cost of what food costs. So they are less willing to splurge on buying sides and soda because you know what you are spending on it and you have to put the effort into picking it out storing, cooling then serving.

Sides and drinks are just an after thought when at a restaurant or fast food establishment because they are usually just added to your meal without one really having to put any effort into it. It is almost just assumed you would get a drink and a side.

So in short, if Americans avoided products with high fructose corn syrup, avoided products with added sugar or high sugar content (and yes that includes fruit juice) cooked their own meals and stopped eating out so much, we would not have such a problem with obesity that we currently have in America.

There is other less important stuff like bringing vegetables back into our diets, being less lethargic, having higher fiber and stopping the vitalization of fat.
