why does America have such a disproportionate amount of fat and stupid people?

Unfortunately people do not always think for themselves. Thinking takes effort ..... so does maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

In the U.S....\n\nMath involves thinking, critical thinking, and most americans are lazy and hate to think.

Most Europeans I know are apalled at the serving size of food in American restaurants. And so many people here finish their plates. \n\nWE EAT TOO MUCH and drive everywhere.

Well their sales are gonna suffer, because it is hard to find many under-weight Americans. Obesity is a way of life borne out of complacency and greed. No wonder America does not have a nationwide health care system. Who would want to pay for that? Well done France and Italy.

Despite what you have witnessed in other countries you may be comparing a small sample size relative to the entire population of the country you are visiting.  Americans clearly and statistically have the worst diet, are the most overweight and have the highest percentage of obese people in the world.  Ever been to Texas?\n\nThe progression is clear from decades past especially in young people which are a good representation of future health.\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/pubs/pubd/hestats/overwght99.htm\n\nSorry my friend, but facts are facts and you can't refute them.

I think americans aren't so much as ignorant as they are just  out of touch with the world around them. It happens a lot here, everyone has busy lives, families to support and their own problems; it makes it kind of hard for people to stay up to date about what is going on around them. People focus more on trying to survive then on issues in the country.

Many Americans (unlike myself) are stupid, ignorant, xeno-phobic, racist, are willing/unwilling fools participating in discrimination, fearful and hateful, and ethno-centric assholes. \n\nIt is sad that like the propaganda bull shit shoved by both goverments is followed by their supporters, our goverment is led by a bunch of rich selfish hateful shameless assholes that are minons of the rich and powerful just like theirs is. Both goverments feed both of us lies and many of us are mindless fools of the proganda and we belive the stories about how evil the other one is. \n\nBoth governments have leaders that say they care about the own people but really don't and all they really care about is themselves and their masters (who have even more money and power then them). Both governments are also lead by so-called religious leaders and that a crock of shit! I say both are horrible examples of Christians and Muslims. \n\nBoth have a bunch of mindless followers and minons to do thier bidding. \n\nI like all kinds of people and I have nothing against anyone. I wish I could say the same of all Americans

Speak for yourself.  You're to fat, lazy, and stupid to type or spell  correctly.  And your opinions reflect your stupidity and laziness.  America is the greatest country on earth.  We have done more good for the world than all other countries put together.

I think that aspects of the political and media elite have worked hard at dumbing down the media outlets to where most people don't even realize that there is a problem. Most are more concerned with who won American Idol or Survivor than what has been done to the Constituition. I also think that Americans are daily exhorted to act in our own interests rather than the interests of the whole of society and sometimes we succumb to the temptation. Buy the latest  greatest, must have thing, lose weight, but don't stop to think about the people that made a lot of the things we are able to buy that are on subsitence or less wages, and never question how is it that obesity is a problem here and there are people starving in every ghetto, and in other places around the world.. Sorry for the long answer..

In this country, it all due to lack of education, the media, and basically most american girls are just unaware that they're dumbasses. American culture is greatly screwed up, and the majority doesn't seem to care  one bit.
