Fat --- Americans

We all know that America has the highest obesity rates out of every nation. This is primarily due to the massive over eating problem that the United States has. It seems like every where people look there is a fast food restaurant or other type of restaurant right there at the tips of their fingers begging them to come and eat at their restaurant. Although this does a great deal to cause the obesity rate it is not the only thing. The massive amount of products that we regularly buy and are vigorously advertised on the television on packed with calories, sugar, and many more things we can not even pronounce. These processed foods are seriously lacking in the healthy nutrients and vitamins that are essential for a person to live.
This type of food is exactly why about 33 percent of Americans are obese. The solution, though simple, is very tough for the average American even if they are not obese. If Americans would incorporate more whole grains, fruits, and vegetables in their diets then they would lead much healthier lives. They do not only need to do it for themselves but for their children as well. For the parents feed their children these unhealthy types of food which teaches them bad eating habits and causes future rates of problems caused by obesity to significantly increase. I know Americans love their greasy foods and sugary desserts but at some point they just need to step back and look at what is really good for them.
