Overweight and obesity are caused by an imbalance between food consumption and energy expenditure and experts agree that this is probably due to changes in diets as they are increasingly high in fats and carbohydrates.
Obesity's impact on health can't be underestimated. It is associated with shorter life expectancy: both men and women living with obesity generally have 50% to 100% higher mortality rates than those with a healthy weight. It can also lead to serious health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cancer, and depression. And as you probably know, it interferes with your quality of life. Beyond the physical implications, there's often a stigma associated with being obese. And that can take an emotional toll as well.
The main causes of obesity in America is that America is getting fatter because we’re eating more. Food is everywhere in the United States. There are fast food stores on every corner: there are food carts on the street, in the subways and even in bookstores!

On top of that, there are advertisements absolutely everywhere encouraging us to eat. And America is eating. And we just keep eating and eating and eating ourselves silly. The reason America is such a fat nation is because we just eat too damn much!
Imagine if there were fruit carts and healthy food options available in all those places. If the corporate giants were advertising healthier options for us to eat, would we be such a fat nation then?
Did you know that obese people spend 16% more on health care services each year than daily smokers do, or that obese people spend 77% more on medications than healthy people do (which is a lot more than daily smokers spend)?
Now that you know that, is that enough motivation to change your eating habits? Did you also know that poverty is less of a health threat than obesity? Think about that next time you take a bite from your Big Mac.
Then if that isn’t enough to convince you, maybe the fact that obese people have two thirds more chronic conditions than normal weight individuals might entice you to make better food choices and eat a little less.
