If immigrants and their children choose unhealthy American foods over healthier traditional foods across their lives,this process of fitting in could lead to poorer health." Cheryan added.
Social pressures,the study concluded, are at the heart of the problem."In American society today, being American is associated with being white.Americans,who don't fit this image even if they were born here and speak English,feel that pressure to prove that they're American," said Cheryan.
