Health in the US

As I knew before I got to the US, there is a lot of big people and people with bad health over here. As espected most of this is because of the many fastfood restaurants and all the oily food served. What I didn't espect. was the way foodselling companies was advertising their products and filled it with healthy stuff to make people eat/drink more of it. I have seen examples of juice that covered 150% of your daily vitamin need. A honey covered cereal with almost 33% suger, that can help lowering your colesterol number. I mean thats just wrong. Juice stuffed with extra vitamins just to make it sell better, is more than I would think of as nice. Of course it is easyer to get all your vitamins as long as the juice has a trait of all kind of vitamins. It wouldn't be that big a deal if that would have been one of the few products stuffed with extra vitamins, but unfortunatly I've seen it on many packages. 
The advertising with lower cloesterol number is almost worse i thing. It encourrage people to buy the product if they have a bad health and then when the colesterol number might be normal, there is a big chance that they might have turned fat whilst, because of alle the sugar products, that could lower their number.
