Why are a lot of Americans Overweight?

I think there are a lot of fat people in America. There are fat Japanese, but it is less than American. I think there are a lot of reasons.


First, it is related to American eating habits. When I came to America, I thought American cookies and cakes were too sweet, but I liked them. If we keep eating them everyday, we will get fat. Americans eat a lot of meat, more than fish. Americans like high calorie foods.




Second, all American servings are big. I was surprised when I went to Walmart last semester because very big ice cream was sold. In Japan, ice cream is put in a cup and sold, but in America, it is put in a bucket. It was not sold by the cup. If I have a bucket of ice cream, I will finish eating it faster than a cup of ice cream.




Finally, I think what I can do to keep my weight? I do not want to gain weight. I think it is important for us to exercise. I will try to go to the gym, but I have never been there. I will try to eat a lot of vegetables, and I will not eat a lot of cookies, cakes and ice cream.

I want to care my health.
