17. Public transportation

Public transportation is a huge factor. I know that sounds counterintuitive, but when you're in a country or city with great trains or buses, you're constantly walking to the train station or bus stop. People in Germany for instance walk several blocks whenever they go anywhere in a city. And their attitude about what is close by is totally different. Going to clubs in Berlin, my German friends would tell me, "Oh, it's so close, just get off at that stop and head north you can't miss it, it's only 12 blocks." 12 blocks? That's quite a haul.

Americans walk to their garage, get in their cars, drive, and park 100 feet from where they're going.

But I think our toxic food supply is the biggest factor. We consume too much added sugar and our portions are ridiculous in size here in America. And on top of that, we eat too quickly.
