America known for....

Many countries are known for original things, like for example, China may be best known for its industrial production, Spain may be known for its strong leader, Japan maybe known for their arts, and America may be known for great cities, but also for fatness. It is said that America is one of the top fattest countries in the world. Why are Americans so fat? I researched some facts on the net myself.

Americans are fat due to the fact that they eat more sugar and artificial sweeteners than any other countries in the world. They also eat about 11 times a day, and they do less physical work; most people ride vehicles more than they walk. Scientists have discovered that most people contain hydrogenated fats, which the human body has almost lost its ability to burn them. Unless if they are starving, which burns stored carbohydrate, the human body would not burn hydrogenated fats. Most Americans cannot bare to be starved for a long time while their body is burning stored carbohydrate, so they go eat to give them energy, which is why most Americans are so fat.
