Answers:
It's what's available to us. You see burger king's & wendy's & mcd's everywhere, but how often a salad bar in comparison? What kinds of food are marketed in commercials? Not tofu, but chicken wings. We are in a culture of "more is more" where if you get a big meal for a deal (taco bell's "I'm full" campaign) you consider yourself smart and lucky - and then you eat the whole thing. We are one of the richest if not the richest country on earth and we don't know hunger. How often do you see a skinny homeless person in the U.S.?

I know you said don't mention fast food. But when it's everywhere it's kinda hard to avoid. Plus it's so handy and almost cheaper than cooking at home. Its because we are lazy! and We are Couch Patatoes and We sit at the computer all day,
We Eat, Eat Eat, and we dont excersie like we should not enough physical actvity.
Get out go fising, hunting, swiming
But instead we are glued to the Tv or Computer
Americans are obese because of things just like this. Instead of being out and walking and meeting people, we can just do it online. I have not moved from this position, laying on my back, for 30 minutes!
In past years we would take a walk and talk with our neighbors. Now are "neighbors" are the people we speak with here.
However I just may be able to summon the enegry to get up and grab a couple of twinkies! :o)
Us americans have many more choices, as far as pleasure foods go. Have you seen the movie entitled "Supersize Me"? It explains a lot.

Supersize Me, the movie Obesity isn't only exclusive to Americans, why not try a little more optimism. I'm sure you know the answer/reason for Obesity. I'm not trying to insult anyone, only stating why not try a optimistic approach.

Food is inexpensive and it's everywhere.
Excercise is harder to get now that everything is done with the press of a button.
Look, it is all about huge proportions! I spend a lot of time in south America and the portions there are as bad as they are here! Our restaurants serve us portions so huge 2 or 3 people could dine on them. We do not need so many calories to stay alive but we feel the best value is portion size rather than taste. convenience, laziness, poor diets, and over indulgence!
After you get so old, you don't care what you look like anymore. Once the other sex quits noticing you, there's no sense in keeping weight down. many americans don't excercise, Think about the average american, they get up and drive to work then get out and sit at a desk all day then drive home and eat and go to sleep. Repeat this 365 times and you get fat.
