Food portion sizes in this country are big. We're a land of excess, I suppose.

there's a reason why canada is the least fat anglo country, 30% of the country is french and 10% is asian
>>
>>60042979
no you lying liar canada is fatter than uk and australia
>>
>>60042938
Honest answer is corporatist capitalism and the Anglo lack of cultural diet. It's just cheaper and more addictive to make food that is absolutely shit for people, and very easy to market to a society that doesn't have an entrenched cuisine. This is why obesity correlates highly with lower incomes, but that first and second generation immigrations are less obese despite being considerably poorer than average.

Not likely, since median household discretionary income for Americans is among the lowest in the OECD, and that obesity isn't something that happens to rich people as much as it happens to poor people.

Our food is cheap in comparison to other nations. Also large swaths of our income isn't allocated to the government, we keep far more of what we earn.

That's not exactly what I am saying. What is not true is that Americans are more obese because they can afford to eat more food.
>Also large swaths of our income isn't allocated to the government, we keep far more of what we earn.
Healthcare costs alone in the United States are double what they are in other OECD countries, not to mention all the money that goes into a ridiculously expensive military. You also seem to think that America's tax burden on the economy is much lower than in other developed countries, which is not true.
>>60043243
This is particularly a major contributor to the problem, especially since America just has a lot more of poor people.

>>
>>60043378
Alcohol, especially alcohol as strong as they drink (or stereotypically do), is very unhealthy and filled with calories.
>>
The Japanese also eat tempura and drink lots of beer.
It's probably the soda that does the trick for the Amerifats.
>>
>>60043368
>all the money that goes into a ridiculously expensive military

Most of the money already goes into healthcare and other social services.
They need to get a handle on the cost of shit instead of just forcing us to pay for $60 bed pans, $120 Tylenol and what ever some shitbag doctor decides an hour of his time is worth.
>>
Ugh... for the sake of everyone for whom I speak.... STOP FUCKING PERPETUATING THAT DAMN STEREOTYPE. Also, if you wish to word your post in that way, then next time, do not neglect to acknowledge that 50 percent or more of the United States population find the idea that the entire population of our great country is obese to some extent completely abhorrent.
>>
>>60043431
Yeah but they burn it off by being drunk
>>
>>60043083
Saudi Arabia truly is their greatest ally :-)
>>
>>60043431
Even the lowest calorie alcohol is very unhealthy in the same amounts as normal alcohol because it hinders the body's ability to properly process food. On a national scale, alcohol consumption is not a major contributor to obesity though, but is a major contributor individually.
>>60043487
>Most of the money already goes into healthcare
The problem is not that America spends not enough on healthcare, in fact they spend too much. The biggest problems are certainly that poor people delay health treatment, but also that there is an almost infinite-payer system of health insurance instead of single-payer or hybrid costed healthcare systems in other developed countries.
>other social services.
A complete lack of a living wage for over a third of American workers will definitely lead to the governments having to provide financial aid to, unsurprisingly, over a third of American workers.
>>
>>60043457
All that sugar and fat in their diet definitely doesn't help
>>
>no kentucky gf that's on the verge of being overweight

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
>>
>>60043554
Well you can't really implement a single payer healthcare plan out of the blue. The government would have to spend years easing up the prices and stopping them from increasing to fast. If we pulled the shit Bernie wants for example I'd be paying more than I am now because I have private health care. Also doctors aren't going to be happy when they find out they won't be getting paid as much.
>>
>>60043833
>The government would have to spend years easing up the prices and stopping them from increasing to fast.
Well that really misses the point of how a single payer healthcare system would work. What would be much easier is for the government to ease the prices downwards over time. As for doctors being paid, most of the wasted spending in the American system is not due to doctors being overpaid.

>>60043068
I think it's very simiar in all western countries though, that we drive cars when we can.

Yes, but Japan is country where the lowest rates of obesity among developed nations and one of the longest average lifespans.

I think soda takes a great part.

Here I haven't been introduced in soda drinking except at birthdays.
My family's cuisine culture is very traditionnal, and children drink water when adults drink water or wine.

Water or wine. Period.

Coffee (unsugared) after the dessert, but that's pretty much all.

I heard in the US soda is more common than plain water, but it's difficult for me to imagine water is more expensive than soda.

I drink soda (coke) once a year but apart from that that's all.

Ah, and I drink beer now as well, the only cultural difference from my parents.

well lets be honest, you get that fat here, you go on disability and food stamps and the government will pay your living. you get medicare (free health care) which pays for the scooters, you have kids you get social security early to pay for them and more food assistance.
