    To make one thing clear, this isn't a homogeneous issue across the United States. After living in the Houston area for 18 years and then moving to Massachusetts, it is a world of difference in the general shape of the population in the respective regions.

    Walking more using public transit methods vs sitting in cars. Ok, filled with queso...

    This is only a small piece of the big picture. What it comes down to is over eating and pure laziness. Allegedly, Americans watch 5 hours of TV a day. If they would take those 5 hours and turn them into something productive, America wouldn't have this big of a problem.

    Sure, but overseas the caricature of an American is obese, poorly dressed, carrying around a 40oz big gulp.
