Not Cooking And Obese

If I am reading the article correctly we Americans spend the least amount of time among people in all developed countries preparing our food. We have beautiful kitchens but apparently they do not get used too much. Also we are eating without restraint in that we spend little time in the process of eating, somebody is not chewing their food 20 times. Finally one in three Americans is obese.

Interestingly, researchers found that about one-third of people in the U.S. are obese — which leads the way among other countries — despite ranking in the lowest third for the amount of time spent eating, at one hour and 14 minutes per day.
