为什么美国胖子多# LES - 同女之舞

Traveling in Europe and found almost no fat people around. I started to
wonder why America has more over weight people since in Europe people eat
lots of bread, sweets and meat and quite a bit of junk food as well. In the
US, there are so many gyms and yoga studios, a ton of fat free milk/yogurt/
energy bars but yet people are still not
thin. Why?
My hypothesis is:
less driving, more walking/biking/using public transportation. Few people
commute by driving. Driving is more for making weekend trips. Just a few
minuets of walking makes a huge difference.
This has huge benefits. Without driving, for example, you tend to buy less
stuff from the supermarket and tend to make more small trips.
Shall US make better bike lanes? Better buses? Raise gas tax?
Seems a good solution for both health and environment.
