Americans drive everywhere, they sit down at work, and at home they sit in front of the television or the computer screen. At the same time as they get so little exercise, they are eating more. An American meal is huge, for example, they eat the large steaks and pizzas. They also love sweets and fatty food such as potato chips, soda water and ice cream. Trying to lose weight is a national obsession in the States. People are constantly going to the gym, jogging and buying books on dieting—they even have operations to reduce the size of their stomachs! This seems have very little effect, and Americans are still getting fatter. THE END
