Thread: Is WORLD obesity America's fault?

Actually, Canada is a good example. People in English Canada are as fat as American or British people. In Quebec, you find the thinner Canadians. Guess what? Quebecers eat out as much, but do not visit nearly as often the fast food, fast fat outlets. They are junk! believe me.
Did you people watch the movie Supersize me!?
An eye opener, which every parent should see before making babies.
And stop blaming Canada. We just want to be different from the USA. We have enough problems with Norway right now!
Cheers,

HELL YEAH I SAW SUPERSIZE ME!
AND THEN I DOWNLOADED THE THEME SONG BITCHES!

I live in America and yes we do have fat people but i don't think its our countries fault its like what TATY said "people who can't stop eating"

It's more of a lifestyle thing, I guarantee I go to fast food joints and all-you-can-eat buffets way more than anyone here, and I am pretty trim. I also go to the gym 5+ days per week, rarely take elevators, and am not afraid to walk/run great distances... If people are blaming America for obesity (which I don't agree with in the first place), they should blame us for making things too convenient, not for the food...

I had Dairy Queen today. It was flippin awesome.

Oh i love dairy queen!!

...Dairy Queen chili-dogs and root beer floats!

I couldn

I love KFC. It is my favorite fast food.
I like the original recipie better than the extra crispy.

I like the McDonalds Quater Pounder and I always get it with a SuperSize Coke. Sometimes I get the DOUBLE QUARTER POUNDER. Hmmm.

And living in Las Vegas, the king city of buffets, I often eat at the nearby casino called "Palace Station" for their all-you-can-eat buffet for only $7.99 plus tax and tip.

Anyways, I am a short 5' 6" (168cm) and a featherweight at 130 lbs (59kg).

Why am I so thin? Well for one, I simply despise french fries. Also cake, cookies, doughnuts and other sweets get me sick . However I do drink GALLONS of regular Coke and Pepsi.

You know, don't say that, it's all individual. Some people are thin, and can eat as much as they want as often as they want and nothing happens to them at all, they don't gain wait at all, but it does happen to others. It all also depands on your gens, so that is a big factor too.

Genes have very little to do with how fat you are. They don't affect much more than your ability to put on muscle at a fast or slow rate, which is also mostly affected by your diet. You either burn more calories than you eat, you don't burn them all, or you burn as many as you eat. It is that simple. Some people don't look like they gain much weight because they are taller, but even 10 pounds shows a difference.

I myself blame the lack of education in dieting and the mentality torwards food. Here you don't eat to live, you eat until your bloated.
