This is a stereotype and there is no clear consensus on why most Americans are overweight. While some contribute it to an unhealthy diet, inactivity and longer life spans, others point to issues such as poverty, advertising and agricultural policy as potential causes. Furthermore, a 2018 report found that income inequality was also likely playing a role by making healthful foods less accessible for lower income individuals.

The majority of Americans are not fat and lazy, however there is an underlying issue of poor diet, lack of physical activity and increasing sedentary lifestyle choices. Americans as a whole have changed their dietary habits over time to include increased sugar, fat and salt content as well as decreased physical exercise. Consequently, many Americans are overweight or obese due to an imbalance in their consumption of calories versus expenditure of energy. Additionally, the average American now spends more time doing activities like watching television or surfing the internet than doing physical activities. These changes in lifestyle habits may be contributing to some people being seen as “fat and lazy”.
