Except for the fact that Italians are not fat and this is basically all they eat.

Its simply eating too much and not exercising enough. Its also suburban life. Ever go to a big city like Chicago or New York, they all walk considerable more than your average suburban person. You walk to your garage, drive to your office or store, park in front 50 feet away, and walk in. Rinse repeat.

If Americans simply walked 10,000 steps or whatever amount a day like most of the world we wouldn't be nearly as fat. Our food is bad, but our lack of daily movement is what's really bad.
