Answers:
Not all American women are "fat"!. I'm an American woman and I could stand to gain about five pounds!. Maybe ten!.

I don't for see the government regulating food advertising or anything like that any time soon!. The government and the coroporations, especially the food ones, have hands in each other's pockets!. That's why we see things like how "good" milk is supposed to be, the harassment of red meat commercials and fast food commercials,etc!.

Also, I don't know about any other American citzen (except for my husband), but I'm an intelligent individual, who is capable of viewing a commercial and analyzing it and making my own decsion!. I know the 100 calorie packs are still empty calories and junk, even though it's "only" 100 calories!. I know that just because a company advertises a "food" as healthy, doesn't mean it is!. Something might be made with whole grains, but the whole grains might be listed low on the list, after the enriched flour, corn syrup, partially hydrogenated oils, artificial colors and flavors, etc!. I read labels as well, and realize what are and aren't natural ingredients!. If I'm not sure, I don't buy it!.

However, when I go to conventional grocery stores, I realize that all aren't like me!. I recently went to a Wal-Mart and saw a family of two parents and three kids!. They were all overweight and tossing processed frozen foods and other stuff in their carts!. I think the elementary school girl was bigger around the middle than me!. Some of the stuff they had I wouldn't eat unless it would keep me from starving to death!.

Also, you really can't judge from second hand information your friend saw in just one city in America, which is why it was wise of you to inquire!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The latest research indicates over 60% of Americans are overweight!. The problem is we don't want the government getting involved!. The FDA came out with the "food pyramid" back in the '80's, and it was a joke!. They said fats should be used very little (we know know that certain fats are VERY good for you), they lumped the meats altogether (so they didn't differentiate between a healthy portion of salmon as compared to a worthless slice of bologna), and they said we need to get 7-11 servings of carbs per day (and THAT is the main reason so many Americans are overweight)!. Instead of having the government push programs on us, we need to take responsibility for ourselves and do what we know we need to do to lose the weight!. Too bad most Americans aren't willing to do it!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

are you kidding!? the american (my) government stop companies from advertising junk food and what not!!? Hell no, because we're a bunch of money grubbing (and food grubbing) capitalists over here! and damn proud!

we're all about freedom baby! even when it comes to what kinda crap we're munchin on!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Many Americans are overweight and it's usually because they eat too much and exercise too little!.

The government is not our caretaker, nor should it be!. In a capitalist system, businesses are free to advertise and it's each person's individual responsibility to choose to buy those products or not!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think thats how they make their money (goverment)

All the tax money they take from the junk food restaurant for having the business!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, most Americans are over weight!.
However, your name is "hairy armpits"!?!?!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
