        Obesity is one of the biggest health problems in American society. With the proliferation of unhealthy foods and unhealthy lifestyle concepts, many people are getting heavier and un- healthier because they tend to accumulate calories as fats without burning them efficiently. That is why many people are obese and cannot function well in their lives. However, there are some causes of obesity in the United States which are lack of exercise, overeating, and emotional problems.

  1. I think the most important reason that cause this phnomenon is the balance of eating diet in United Stated.That American eat cheese almost every day is unhealth.A student as me, I don't have a lot of spare time to make food myself,so I always eat outside.After 3 weeks I came to America ,one day I found my belly is bigger then before when I looked into the mirror.What a hell.It's difficult to add muscle,but it's easy to grow fat.There's no deny that I've eat a lot of fast food during last three weeks.It's necessary for me to keep the balance of eating diet.So I have to make food in the dorm myself.

  2. I agreed with your opinions.Nowadays,an increasing number of people get weight very quickly,they eat a lot of sweet and high calorie food,but they have no choice because they are too busy to eat their meals,and they also have no time to do more exercise.This is a very serious problem annoyed people.But ,actually,there are some ways to help people lose weight,but it need you persist. Anyway,overweight is very unhealthy. Thanks for your remind!
