Just over half of Americans now snack three or more times a day, according to 2010 government data, up from about 20 percent in the 1990s. ”Whether the product is a snack food, a main meal food, or if it comes from a foodservice operator, the opportunity [for marketers] is that consumers are eating more often throughout the day,” says Darren Seifer, a food and beverage industry analyst at NPD.

Pepsi’s diet beverages haven’t been picked up by the general push toward healthier consumption. “We continue to see declines in diet,” said Nooyi, ”and this is something that seems to continue.”


that comes from a story on pepsi's earnings call today. also released this week is a study from the CDC.

The report released by the CDC said that around one-third of the adult population in the US is facing obesity. The number of obese children has also doubled in the US in the last three decades.

The study showed that around 30 percent of children and teens did not group themselves correctly in the right weight status. Close to 81 percent of overweight boys and 71 percent of overweight girls said that they have normal weight as per their age and height.


it seems they don't know they are fat. what can be done about this? we should try get them in shape.

as an american i stuff my afce with chips, pop, candy bars, m all the time and am obese, almost morbidly so. that's why i use Lubiderm, a doctor recommended suppository that helps fight against hunger. after you insert Lubiderm into the rectum, it begins to dissolve and travel up the colon through the intestines and into the stomach, where it releases a natural hormone that tells your brain that it is full. common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, and feelings of hunger and mild depression. if you experience severe chest pain stop taking Lubiderm and get help right away. do not take Lubiderm with heart medication or while using a pacemaker as this may cause severe fibrillation. do not take Lubiderm if you are nursing, pregnant, or may become pregnant. if you have suicidal thoughts stop taking Lubiderm and consult a physician immediately. Lubiderm. for my body.

great suggestion. let's get the whole forum to do it, and everyone gets probation outside this thread till they do. if they are too fat, they gotta promise to eat healthier first.

2/3 of americans are fat + being fat messes up the levels of hormones that tell people they're full = endless snacking?

also cheapness, advertising, aliens, tastiness etc.

Actually, American eating habits are usually directly related to how little money people have. You have this backwards.
