One need look no further than the junk food and frozen food aisles at the grocery store. These foods are loaded with simple carbs, fat, sodium, preservatives, you name it. In most countries the snacks aisle is very small and frozen food almost nonexistent. And that's to say nothing of our restuarant options. Obvio fast food is crap, but often overlooked is the chain restauants. A lot of menu items from places like Chilis and TGI Fridays are even LESS healthy than fast food. Cook for yourself and choose the right food at the grocery store. You can't eat it if you don't buy it!

Americans are generally uneducated about what they are putting into their bodies. People might think they are eating healthy but in reality these foods are just marketed to make them seem healthy. For example, if someone sees "0g trans-fat" on everything then it must be healthy right? I don't think so. Portion sizes are way out of whack as well. People may eat 4-5 servings of something without even realizing it. In addition, TV ads and fast food restaurants have plagued the minds of the general population. The U.S. government should take some action and start regulating these sorts of things because obesity is killing us at a rapidly increasing rate.

We subsidies crops like corn and soy to the point that the farmers growing them are literally selling them for less money than it cost them to grow them. Government comes in a pays them out though. This then allows us to process and manufacture foods insanely cheap, however they are not the best foods for us... Over 80% of products in your grocery stores today contain a corn or soy product (if not both). Everything from food, beverages, pills, to batteries... yes there is corn in batteries. We make the bad food cheap, the good food pricey... it keeps our lower income communities down because they're put into a position to only being able to afford the bad...
The other big factor to this is that people don't cook anymore. As food became more readily available/prepared for us, people stopped cooking... generation after generation people were cooking less, which correlates to the youth not learning ever how to do which forces us to have to buy things ready made. In all honesty it is in a lot of senses cheaper to actually eat healthy, but you have to know what to buy and how to cook it... no one is educating anyone on this... not in most homes and especially not at school... i'd know, i'm a high school teacher. I do a huge unit in cooking, health and nutrition in my Anatomy classes after the digestive system however I do this because I value it, because I know something about it, not because it is mandated curriculum... In fact, I actually had to go to bat with my administration to get them to allow me to teach this stuff because it wasn't direct Anatomy and Phys... damn shame.

Why do Americans have such trouble keeping the fat off (despite the billion-dollar weight loss industry).
1. Countries in Europe ban unhealthy foods. U.S. doesn't. This is more of a moral and political discussion, but consequentially it matters.
2. Our culture about eating is completely wrong. We are taught to eat very little in the morning (a cup of coffee and a muffin maybe), don't eat until lunch, and then wait until dinner when you have a giant meal with your family. And after dinner, have a nice oreo cake.
First of all, it's better to eat low calorie meals every 2 hours than 2-4 heavy meals.
Second, it's not good to take a huge dinner and a fatty desert to bed with you.
Eat your cake in the morning and burn it off.
3. We are desensitized to how unhealthy Burger King and Wendy's really are, because we are surrounded by it.
