Kaka1899 (what's your real name btw) : white bread, even though brown bread is healthier in general.

Ace: breakfast is the most important meal in the day, along with lunch. Brains works with sugar and in facts to keep a good concentration i usually have a second breakfast with fruit juice, or something sweet at around 10.30 am.
I'm not obsessed with health and diet. I usually pay attention to diet during the week, while in the weekend i relax and have the usual italian grandma meals without any problem. Being a student, i have to pay attention to diet and fitness to keep myself in shape.

As far as i know americans are overweight because they have food in fast foods too many times in a week. You can afford fast food once or twice in a month !! Did you see the movie- documentary "Supersize me " about the fast food culture? It was shocking. As far as i know many don't cook at home, and in general they don't have a culinary culture. I think recently in many countries this bad habit is changing, and luckily more people pay attention to their diet and to cook on their own fresh food (which is more convenient also).

Jamie Oliver UK chef led a programme in British schools where he invited and teached children and teenagers to have heathier food. It was a success and he made a tv serie out of it.

Here in Italy a guy from my region founded the Slow Food movement which has already spread all over the world. They promote all local healthy products and specialties, fresh organic vegetables and healthy cuisine in general.
