This might be an overstatement but Americans eat way to much of the wrong food. What exactly is the wrong food is still puzzling the majority of our citizens which may be the reason why the US has over 30% of its population considered obese. A major portion of what is causing this is the amount of food that is consumed and the portions in which meals are consumed.
Only recently did the FDA put pressure on the restaurant industry to make nutritional information readily available to consumers. But the fact is that when people go out to eat, the choices that are available still include the best of the worst foods to eat. The echo of mom saying, "Eat everything on your plate dear", most restaurant goers consume the whole oversized portion of meal provided. Sure there are salads that can be purchased and most restaurants will even through in an extra 300 calorie dressing packet so that you do not have to feel calorie deprived. When you think about it, as a would-be healthy eater, how many choices do you really have?
Americas obession with restaurants, chemically packaged, and prepared foods may be the leading cause of obesity. Obesity is a risk factor for heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, gout, gallbladder disease and perhaps even Alzheimer's, not to mention low physical activity and capability.
