VOTE DAMMIT.

I would lay the blame largely on an odd intersection between our evolutionary heritage with modern capitalism's contributions toward the manufacturing and distribution of food. We are set up to naturally enjoy certain things which prior to industrialization weren't as widespread. Think on things such as sweets, 100 years ago they were manufactured largely by bakers/pastry chefs at prices which meant the average person wouldn't be buying them very often at all, cakes were made to be eaten over the course of days or with big celebrations. Now we are in a post scarcity age when it comes to food (of course modern distribution fails to dole this out to vast swathes of our human brethren), which in the case of our nation is a prime example of the ubiquity of cheap food and its effects on the waistline (not to mention the ego driven zeitgeist of always wanting more being praised by our social value system).

Everyone drives places and nobody walks anymore.

make sidewalks, there were only sidewalks on the "historical" touristy zone in Sioux Falls (South Dakota), wtf a city without sidewalks, fu!
anyway, I don't think we've evolved into this.

It's a little more complicated than that. The town I grew up in had sidewalks everywhere but nobody walked. The city design was so car dependent that one park was more parking lot than park.
