>>743576603
Because they have an abundance of resources

Because your broke ass lives in a country where you can't be us. (202) 560-0105 I love fat girls and fat dudes please text me some pics thanks

America also has the most athletic people in he world.

Freedom = variation

because of literally every reason you can think of:
too many resources, too arrogant, too gluttonous, too selfish, too hoarding, too decadent, too stupid, too careless.

America is literally the cultural cesspit of the world, it's where all other cultures come to lose all inhibition (Vegas, LA, Newyork)

Real answer: this shit goes back to ancient rome.

Due to government subsidies a huge amount of American food is made of empty carbohydrates with very little nutritional value, which must be consumed in massive quantities which have gigantic calorie counts, which make people enormous but also intellectually stunted, with paradoxically limited energy for any activity outside of work and consumption, because of the way glucose/insulin spikes work.

Much of this is based on corn, but did you know that the word "corn" originally applied to wheat? In the sense of being a super-carbohydrate package that supports a massive, stupid, taxable, controllable population maize is basically super-wheat, so the name jumped when it became the new staple for a new colonial empire.

Like rome, the symbol of the US is the aquilae (eagle), but in the early days of rome the battle standard was actually a bundle of wheat. And throughout the empire,the equivalent of the roman CIA and backbone of political control were called the Frumentarii, or wheat collectors.

There's actually a theory about wheat being the dominant species on earth because of how it modifies human behaviour. I'd link it but I forget what it's called.

What I'm getting at is you are what you eat, and what Americans eat isn't a coincidence.

American Cheese

Yes, because inhibition is the hallmark of all great culture. I can't think of anything more noble and classy than never doing as you please or saying what you think.

Just spitballing here, might be wrong, but I'm gonna assume you're a britbong.

I mean, restraint kind of is the definition of civilisation.

You can cry "freedom" if you want but you're not really gonna convince anybody that anon is wrong. America is the China of the west and we all know it. Actually that's giving you almost too much credit at this point.

>>743576603
They are eating too much of fast food ( jew food)

High fructose corn syrup and they drive EVERYWHERE

Walking or using public transport in the USA is considered weird or gross so they drive everywhere

>>743576603
An increasingly sedentary lifestyle and an over abundance of cheap, unhealthy processed foods.

>>743578684
public transport is full of bums and people with mental illnesses. i'd rather drive my SUV.

>>743576603
Eat in the morning, or not. Have about a 15 minute to an hour break. not much time. Get fast food or something quick in order to get back to work in time.
Get home, hungry again before the night's over. tired from work, have to get up early the next day. Don't work out because too tired. Go to sleep, repeat.
Fat builds.
Pretty much

Sure, but it's obviously not a hard and fast line in the sand, and there are degrees. If you really think we are the China of the west you might be a bit slow, or you've just never been here? Maybe believing everything you see on TV? I'm not gonna go all fakenews on you, and I know our president is an idiot....
But what's funny is, people freak out as if our country is crumbling every second. Actually gun violence and murder are down overall. No one realizes that since they are getting more information NOW than ever before, that its going to look wild because every time some nutball off a few people, it's made into a circus. People think all this police drama with shooting black people (and white people but no media outlet gives a fuck) but it's happening less right now than it has in the past. We're seeing a change in how people take in information and the overload of said info is warping people's perceptions.

Anyway, maybe you have other reasons. Just guessing. I love it here and wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

>tl:dr "Please good chap, would you lick my disinhibited bumhole?"

americo is fot becouse they oet only processed foods

you connected those two together, i didn't. i was just saying America has no culture, it's a playground for the others.

i'm American bro. it's called being unbiased.

Well. the word of one or a few people should probably be taken as Gospel truth, right?Assuming this happened.

Can you explain what "China of the West" even means? It just sounds like a random insult without a lot of substance. Maybe break down all the supposed similarities we have that aren't shared by many if not most other countries?

It's true.
We don't have the rich heritage of shitting in public, or throwing fags off the roofs of buildings, or daily machete/acid attacks. We don't have a land full of rich resources that get mined by other countries while we all starve.
We sure are jealous of all your rich cultures we are missing out on.
Here's a fat american ass for you.

>>743579701
I'm not some super patriot or anything. It just sounded like that's what you were implying If not, then I don't even know what you're on about.

Parts of American culture are shitty for sure. And of course there is assimilation from other cultures. So? Saying there is "no culture" is kind of a silly over statement. We aren't living in mud huts and smashing animals heads in with rocks in order to eat.

Statistics clearly show otherwise.

hahaohahaha you silly americans are not like us strong indians. we have beuituful country and strong man that are very sexi and well educate

>>743579830
That's absolutely wrong.
Look at the medal counts at the last olympics, and the upbringing of the americans that won them.
To state they are not from the US is just dumb

>>743579733
My friend, just relax. This thread is not going to be the first time in history that an American wins an "America is great and full of freedom!" argument on the internet. You aren't going to be the guy.

You've already set the tone by declaring your intention to reject anything I say which is inconvenient for you to believe, so I really don't think we're going to have a fruitful conversation. If you're so pleased with your nation I suggest you go outside and enjoy some of it's entirely un-chinalike wonders. Fly a kite!

Judging from the last however many olympics you want to look at, I can pick both from your list. Cute little comment though, sweetie.

This is the part where we Americans point out that Europeans have a hissy fit every time their non-white population rises a percentage point, and cultural homogeneity is stagnation.

Exactly, not only that some of those athletes are fat. That's why rugby could never compare to American football

I don't gibe a shit about saving face, this is /b/ after all so we're all of us faggots anyway. I just want to know what you actually MEAN by "China of the west" other than "Well a guy I know said it so it must be true."

Hell, you might be right, I just want to see something with substance. Generally don't change my views based on "well some anon said some guy said this, it must be true!"

I'd like to compare this to income, education, iq.
Yeah, I think we already know the answer.
Eating satiates the dopamine receptors. Like drugs. Poor, uneducated people are miserable and don't care. They, like many, want to feel good.
Then the public doll health care system pays for most of it.

Because soda is cheaper then water.
Sugery desert is cheaper then a salad.
Etc.

I used to weight 276 lbs when i was 13. A Morbidly obese piece of shit.
Lost 80 lbs in 1 year of walking 4 miles a day and alot of exercise, and today 7 years lat i weight 183.

Processed foods

Ha! I am fat right now. But it's because I have been eating steak and duck liver, and drinking beer and wine. Can Eurofags afford any of that shit? If I do a cycle of HGH and work with a trainer I can be lean and cut in 6 months. I did it last year and dropped 60 lbs in 3 months. I can afford to be fat or lean, can you?

Advertising. I spent time in Canada, the smarter, fitter cousin of America and it is clear the things shown to be healthy or good for you are clearly loaded with sugar and chemicals that are bad for you. Think about Nature Valley for example. Everything looks good but isn't. It's about making the right choices. Poor education and overwhelming advertising budgets have confused the masses. Not to mention mainstream media and SJW's making fat acceptable, so people don't notice the pounds creeping on.

Americans are utterly delusional. They have convinced themselves over many years that the country's #1 health problem is smoking when it is - and always has been - food and eating. Diabetes, heart disease, cholesterol, high blood pressure - you name it and it's food related. Where are the public social programs to warn people about this? Nowhere to be seen, even as the government continues to spend billions on far less serious health problems.

>>743576603
Because sugary, artificial junk is significantly cheaper than healthy food. Combine this with the generally quite terrible state of American education and you have a recipe for disaster.

Literally no one justifies their actions that way. There are few conscious choices involved in being obese, lazy, a recluse, or breathing. Everything you're talking about is primarily handled on a subconscious level. Most people have to make an effort to stop their current patterns to not to continue them. People have to remove themselves from the circumstances of their lives: too much cheap food is available, too many conveniences are available, etc. Some people can't make the effort to consciously overcome those circumstances, for whatever reason. Some people just don't care. It's not sad or pathetic, it's just life, and they have it easier than you.
