There are many reasons that North America should be one of the healthiest continents of the world. But why not? Well In North America there are lots of things to get us not making the right choice of what we eat, or do our exercise. Some of these reasons are; fast food on the go, advertisement, laziness, lack of exercise, food addiction, attitude towards their body, depression, and transportation.

Another reason for obesity is laziness and lack of exercise. First off, laziness plays a huge role in a typical North American persons day. If we weren't lazy nobody would be obese, unfortunately we are. In our typical day we wouldn't not feel like cooking and getting food on the go. Laziness ties into lack of exercise also. It would be okay to eat fast food if we all exercised and burned it all off our bodies. Laziness affects North American obesity greatly.

Likewise, food addiction and attitude towards their body also affect obesity in North America. Like cigarettes and alcohol, people get addicted and can not stop what their doing. Same with food, for example if a man was raised eating
