America’s obesity epidemic is a function of our car culture. This is the only country on God’s green Earth that feels putting in sidewalks is a moral failure.

Obesity is a food issue, our reliance on cars and increasingly sedentary lifestyle may exacerbate the issue but it’s not the cause

  You can’t really know it. I suspect it’s a combination of the two. If you drive everywhere and sit around the rest of the time, you can’t be healthy no matter your diet.

    Obesity is a product of excess caloric intake NOT sedentary lifestyle.
    
    Lack of cardiovascular and kinesthetic health is a product of a sedentary lifestyle.

    It is once again, incredibly simplistic view of a very complicated issue, so simplistic it stops being accurate.

    It’s obvious that this is not the most important underlying cause, as other countries which are less auto oriented are also quite fat.
