70% of American people are overweighted !

fast paced lifestyle and availability of junkfood and deep fried food.

There's too much fast food consumption, and the fact that TV and Video Games just have you sitting around for hours on-end. I however, love my TV/Video Games, so I can't really say much about them, but they are likley a great cause of it. However, with things like the new Nintendo Wii, where you actually have to get up and do something, might start to shed some of that percentage (for the percentage of over-weight people who play games).

I think yes

yes,major American population is over-weighted. The reason might be taking of junk foods which are very high in calories and ignoring the habit of exercise.

The options for healthy food that tastes good is limited in the USA. I feel that the opportunity for junk food is more available than healthy food, and the life-style is one that sitting down to eat is difficult some times.

tats none of our business..... let them be overweighted......

Don't blame mcdonalds. I eat at mcdonalds sometimes and I am fit. It's the lack of exercise. That is the main problem!

The reason is McDonald. Eat more pasta!

They dont eat home made food. They eat junk food. They prefer leisure more. They are more dependant on machines for their work. They do very less physical labour.

I guess, the reason is too much fast food and not enough moving, I mean walking. It's a problem not only in America, we can see it there in Europe also.

Eating habits growing up is a big one. Fast foods dont help either. Everyone is in such a big hurry. A lot of people dont want to take the time to fix them something good to eat.
