Why are so many Americans over weight ?To much junk food ,lack of exercise or what?!

Question: It's not just junk food, it's all food: too much, too many fats, too many calories, too much salt, too many carbohydrates and little or no exercise. I think you should be able to eat everything in proportion. Not double portions, not 2 hamburgers instead of 1, not 3 hotdogs instead of one. Instead of going to the Drive in perhaps a walk to the favourite fast food restaurant would help some.
It's little wonder that Diabitis has reached pandemic proportions. There are a lot of people who are going to be finding out pretty soon about nutrition, appropriate foods and portions as well as learning what a balanced diet is.
They will be healthier, feel better and for sure they will look better.

Thank you, I am a diabetic and it's not amusing. Walking a lot helps. Report It
