According to "Web M.D." impatience has greatly affected obesity in America. Due to delivery, drive through's, and car-hops we can sit back and grow fat while we eat, eliminating exercise and adding to the desire for fatty foods. Some restaurants even have online ordering, a few years ago we'd actually have to get up to order on the phone but apparently standing is too much work for your food.

Why are Americans so fat?
Americans, mostly the south and midwest, are overweight on average making us a "fat" nation. The obvious question is "why?". There are a few reasons, the southern and midwestern states are spread out which influence people to drive everywhere taking away the need for walking limiting their exercise. Our largest food chains are based around greasy and fatty recipes and our lives revolve around computers. Overall we basically eat too much and exercise too little.
