Why are Americans so fat?

[pismofilmdude]

I knew smoking was bad, and that people were getting fatter, but this blew my mind. Check this out.

In the U.S., we eat more than 1,000,000 animals an hour

In 1972, we spent 3 billion a year on fast food - today we spend more than 110 billion

Left unabated, obesity will surpass smoking as the leading cause of preventable death in America

Have any of you heard about this? I want to see this for sure.

Why are Americans Fat?
Because of their fondness of fast food resturants...

We're all fat because we drive cars everywhere, have too many things delivered, park too close to buildings, eat too much crap food, drink too much soda, sit in front of the TV too much, too many jobs where all people do is sit in front of a computer all day, washing machines and dishwashers....

....and we're a lot more spread out than the European countries. Everything is close and compact, so they figure they can walk everywhere and get to where they need to go. However we like to drive our gas guzzling SUV's everywhere, even if it's just to the corner store.

Americans eat too much:

Fast Food
Junk Food
Unhealthy, greasy Food
Food filled with fat

AND, after we eat it, instead of going on a run to burn it off, we get into our lazy chair and watch TV or surf the internet.

I just described myself.

It amazed me how thin everybody is in England. I did see curvy people, but I didn't really see any obese people. Sheesh.

I often think I'm one of the last skinny Americans left. It seems like everyone is just so huge nowadays.

After me Skinny Americans will be extinct.

Yep!!

You guys need to start using the barbecue more often. Start smoking your meats, rather than frying them. Use good flavored sauces on the barbecue. Avoid hamburgers and hotdogs. Start cooking chicken and pork chops for a change. You'll love the taste.

Trust me.

I'm very skinny as well, my grandparents wonder if I eat, LOL, but I also learned that both my dad and grandpa were skinny when they were my age and now both are overweight.
