>Why isn't this happening in the US? My personal experience with this is that the cheap, unhealthy, sugar-loaded foods are the obvious choice when you don't know any better. I mean, they're delicious, and a lot of people are overweight, so why not? I've since learned that maintaining my weight is important, and that means I should end a meal being just hungry enough to eat more, and if I'm losing weight that means being hungry at the end of a meal, and proteins and healthy fat choices help me from getting so hungry I eat a whole tray of brownies. As for comparing this to other countries, I think the lifestyle of the US is more sedentary in comparison, and for me at least I get more hungry the less I do during the day. I sometimes eat because I'm bored, and that means sugary stuff. When I lived in Brazil and walked around all day I ate a lot but never really cared for sugary stuff the way I do now.
