Why do americans eat so much food?

look at the food portions at many restaurants...i can never finish the portions i am served at almost any restaurant in america that i have been to..chevy's gives you portions that would fill up two to three non-americans easily..many diners such as johnny rockets serves you a milkshake that itself could be almost a thousand calories and could alone be your meal...and besides, look at the obesity of many americans in cities such as houston, detroit, or nashville..it is just alarming..however, the worst obesity I have seen is in the south where you rarely run into skinny people unless they are high school or college girls trying out for cheerleading or modeling or acting.



like seriously..if americans ate less food, we could be feeding starving people those excess portions..and the percentage of americans that die from heart disease or cholesterol problems would be significantly smaller than it is nowWhy do americans eat so much food?
Because the food industries that provide Americans with foods have found a cheap solution to preserve foods - salt. Americans now have become accustomed to fatty and salty foods, that they do not find fresh fruits, vegetables appetizing.
We should eat less, but the logistics of shipping perishables across the world would increase global warming.Why do americans eat so much food?
My steady diet of whiskey and cigarettes keeps me trim and fit.
I lack self control to stop eating and to not supersize every combo meal.



I don't even really taste my food anymore. I just chew it for a while until it sort of burns and mushes, and then I attempt to wash it all down with an extra large soda.
