Why are Americans Fat

The study, conducted by Theodore Vanltallie, show, Japanese citizens who move to Hawaii or the West Coast have increased the weight of about 7.5 - 10 kg.

There are 6 things that determine why Americans are more obese people than any other world community, namely:

- Less moving. Progress is technology the cause.A variety of household devices, such as vacuum cleaner, food processor, can shorten labor time. As a result, they become lazy to move, because it depends on the tools that can ease the job. In developing countries the household tasks are still done manually. For example, go to the traditional market or supermarket, instead of opening the internet to shop.


Population of some developed countries to do more physical activity than the American population. The roads in these countries are not too wide, so the hardest-hit by the car. This causes people prefer walking and cycling. Apart from well-managed public transport, in some European countries and Asia cyclists and pedestrians have the support of the government.

- Nice to snacking. Almost every time an American snacking. While people of other countries very rarely or only do so at any given time. For example, when the first afternoon tea in British society.

- Rates of fatty foods in the U.S. is quite cheap. Europe and Asia Society said that the price of food in their country are quite expensive, especially meat, restaurant food, and processed foods.

- The portion of Americans eat is quite large. Maybe you've heard the term 'the really big chicken sandwiches' in the American diet. They are more interested in quantity than quality. Sandwiches 'giants' like that are usually eaten by one person. While in Sweden is a portion for four people.

- Focus on American dinner plates are meat or cheese. While in other countries are usually low-fat grain or flour. For example, rice in Asia, potatoes in Sweden, Rati in Europe, or corn flour in Mexico

- Dessert should exist in the American menu. Kind is quite 'heavy', such as chocolate cake servings 'giant'. While the other countries prefer fruits for dessert. Or even, none at sekah. In Europe some kind of bread or cake is usually served only on special occasions.
