Which town would be fatter?
I'm from a town of 200 that had one Cafe, there were still plenty of fat people including myself.

Edit: I do agree with you that with more bad options you'll have more people that choose that option, but my whole point is if that person is educated on what and how much they are eating is it still the fault of the place serving it?

I'm not arguing that its anyone's fault but their own, I'm just exploring the reason why America is fat.

I think it has more to do with industry than individual.

Unless the industry is tying people to chairs and shoving food down their gullets, the problem is on the individual level.

I should say "became" instead of "is."

Advanced technology + laziness + more time consuming lives + less stay at home moms + more stress + plenty of other factors = fat

The food plays a part in it, but it's not the reason.

While these factors certainly contribute, I think the biggest issue is that Americans have more disposable income than anywhere else in the world. Historically, weight has been tied to wealth and I think it is the same today.

I'd tend to agree with this as well. Even the poorest of people here are out buying McDonalds dollar menu instead of working their asses off growing their own food to feed their family.

I sure wish I had disposable income to buy my healthier foods.

more whole grain products, fruits and vegetables.

I'm more or less arguing that it is more expensive to eat healthy than to eat crappy. I've seen the difference in my wallet.
