    Maybe gaining weight on them is just that easy and they find losing some that hard.. :(

    That could be true, but I watch commercials and haven't stopped at a fast food place in 7 years! So they didn't get me!

    They eat too much and obviously don't care about their weight.

    the typical meal at any restaurant in the US is literally 2 servings. Some places are even 3. So basically when you go out to eat you are eating twice to three times as much as the rest of the world is. On top of that we are far less active then the rest of the world. It is really not that difficult to understand.

    You should be eating 10 X your ideal body weight in calories everyday in order to achieve that weight . . . This is for if you were to just rest all day. So a guy who wants to weigh 150lbs should eat 1500 calories plus any extra calories needed depending on how active you are. Most Americans on a day to day basis dont break a sweat. . . so do the math and you can probably figure you eat too much.

    I was wondering: In US, does school teach you how to eat right and be healthy?
    Healthy eating habit/lifestyle should start from young.

    Part of the problem: The overweight indigent receive substandard medical care from the doctors who graduated in the bottom half of their med school class. Food nutrition should be taught before passing out food stamps. People who are poor are more likely to want to grab a cheap, fast food meal. Sometimes their power has been cut off and they have to eat out.
