Yeah, but that 20% of the population has a bigger percentage of those that are obese. In America, the poor people are fat.
...
There is no one main item causing obesity. The obesity pie, if you will, is compromised of many little slices that all add up to one big FUPA.
Americans are Ignorant - Lack of proper nutrition education / meal planning knowledge
Americans are Lazy - Fast food being cheaper / easier than healthy food
Americans are Simple - Soda being a ubiquitous beverage (see Fast Food)
Americans are Gluttonous - Serving sizes being Double Extra Mondo H'yoog
Americans are Sedentary - Idea that exercise is for pro-athletes and dorks in short-shorts
Americans are OK with Being Fat - Trend toward accepting "plus size" people as a more normal body image (*)
