I agree! A good friend of mine has two adopted sister from Romania, when they see a fat person they
claim that those individuals are "VERY AMERICAN". I found it humorous and have found myself making
the same remark. Most Americans live to eat not eat to live. Our diets are dictated by various
factors to include our up bringing or professions and social and economic backgrounds. It seems like
eating healthy is more expensive and a big hassle. |

Americans really do take for granted their body's healthiness. They just think that they can eat
what they want when they want and not have to worry about it. When in truth if they looked in the
mirror, they would realize they need to be eating healthier and exercising every day. People think
exercising is such a hassle, which some days it is. But if you could wake up an hour earlier every
day to work out, it would not interfere in your day. It is just pure laziness not to. Exercising
makes you feel way better than the food that is bad for you. |

Americans are shown to be unhealthy eaters, but I am not sure that Brits are any better. Britons
collectively spend a stunning £564 million per year on ready meals and this figure, of course, does
not include money spent at fast food restaurants. A recent study also suggested that among all
nations, Americans and Brits are most likely to consume high-calorie fast food products on a regular
basis. In fact, a slightly larger number of Britons (45 percent) told pollsters that they would
refuse to give up fast food than Americans (44 percent).
I would argue that Americans and Britons are equally unhealthy when it comes to their eating habits.
Brits may have the added problem that the bacon they use when serving up a full English breakfast is
significantly fattier than the US variant. At the same time, it is well worth pointing out that
Canadians are not much healthier at all and are nearly as obese as their American neighbours.
Perhaps this tradition of unhealthy eating--at least when compared with French and most Asian
cultures--has something to do with the Anglo-Saxon heritage of these countries. |
