Obesity in the United States has become an issue with adults, it is hard to find time to exercise.
Well... The U.S. has the highest rates in the world. We are a fast food nation.
That is very true. People in the U.S. love the convenience of fast food, but do not make the effort to make healthy meals for themselves.
It's just really convenient. A lot of people don't have time to cook for themselves...so mass-produced garbage it is.
It is tough as well when many people work in a job where they are sitting at a desk all day, so finding time to exercise in their free time becomes very important for their health.
We're also very car dependent. In Europe it's a lot of bicycles. And everything is very spread out. Hard to commute.
Some cities have started the bike sharing idea to encourage people to use that mode of transportation, but it is difficult when you have to commute to work.
Man, those things are kind of a nuisance here in Dallas. The list of bicycle-sharing companies is pretty long here. 6 of them. And they're left everywhere.
