If you are intent on finding offensive meanings you will be able to regardless of if they are there or not.
It's pretty clear that "seems" means that obesity seems to be a US problem unless you start looking at demographics, where similar demographics in different countries have the same rate of obesity (e.g. white people in the US, Australia, and Canada) and demographics in the same country have different rates of obesity (e.g. in the US blacks, whites, and Hispanics all have different rates of obesity).
I was not denying that the US is obese, to the extent that it is. I was explaining that it is not "American culture" that is the issue. Multiple groups that share "American culture" have different rates of obesity and groups that don't share American culture do share obesity rates.
