Is United States a health-conscious nation?

I do not think the U.S. is a very health-conscious nation because of all the unhealth things we eat, but as the years go by I believe the U.S. is becoming more conscious about the things that are good for you. It is "easier" to become unhealthly in this country because the lack of time, not thinking how it will affect you, and some people just do not care about what they eat. First, lack of time has to do with alot of unhealthy eating. It is easier to go to the drive-thru, then to make a salad or sandwich at home. For example, if you are at work and only have an hour for lunch, you will do the fastiest thing so you can have more time to eat. Secondly, I believe people just dont understand the risks they are taking by eating all the unhealth things. Nutrious food is what people should be eating to have a healthly life. The risks of not eating healthly can lead to obesity, diabetes, and heart problems. Third, people look for food that taste good and will get you full. Some people can say thay nutrious food doesnt not have the best taste, but it is the best choice to make. As a result, of obesity and health risks i think the U.S. is barely starting to be health-conscious.
