My point to you was that you should not stereotype Americans as wanting this stuff and not caring about their health and as accepting being overweight as normal. I don't stereotype African Americans, or Mexicans, or Koreans, etc... Stereotyping is wrong. That was my point. |
I'm stereotyping a reality and providing what studies have shown. Like I said in an earlier post, a few weeks ago one news company did an article on McDonalds and their food throughout the world. Here is one quote from the article..
"A large meal of chicken nuggets and french fries at McDonald's in the United States contained 10.1 grams of trans fatty acids, while the same meal in France contained 5.9 grams and just 0.33 grams in Denmark, Steen Stender, who headed the research project, told AFP."
The study shows the United states had the highest amount of trans fat in the study and Denmark had the least. Why do we have those differences? If Americans cared more about their health, they would not eat the bad food and wait till fast food places serve healthier food. Yet people go back for more and more all the time.
