Half of that is bull, in Europe half of those happen as well.

But no doubt, America does have problems with obesity.

I say it is bull because many of those things 'only Americans' do, europeans do as well.

And statistics have shown that America has one of the highest percentage of Obesity per person compared with other countries.

I have lived in both, whereas you live in Iran. Since you are a minor and you don't know any better, there isn't any reason to get upset with your remarks. One day, if the opportunity arises, you should make the journey and visit America.

Okay, fine. Half of that is bull, in Europe half of those happen as well.
But no doubt, America does have problems with obesity.

P.S. I've lived in Europe. How would you know all of that is true about America if you haven't lived there?

I was replying to abejnood. He responded to you by saying you live in Europe so how would you know, so I, someone who is from America, responded by cutting and pasting your exact message (which is 100% true) and sending it back to him. Kind of a joke.
