The Amazingly Odd Things Americans Do

Our Habit of Eating Big

Our eating sizes are no surprise. In addition to expecting large sizes, we eat a lot of food on average too. The amount of food the average American eats is twice the food eaten in most of the world. We also have a heavy diet of processed food and protein. Most other parts of the world focus on grains and vegetables and fruit. No surprise, we produce bigger people on average, but we also have more health problems that are diet-related. Many outside America wonder why we eat the way we do as a result.
