American food has issues, but obesity in America comes down to the simple fact that people eat too much and do too little.

Calories in > calories out.

The great news is that when you eat less, it brings down the relative costs of better food. Instead of pounds of low quality ground beef, 3 packs of Twinkies, and a case of beer; buy some higher quality organic chicken, or even better, some organic vegetables.
