I'm half joking. But as a 30-something who used to be very active, I recognize I'm over the hill and my joints sound like pop rocks

You know you can actively change that..... You can't blame American diet and body. Because I am both American and I eat out quite a bit but I make sure to balance it out.

the american diet goes beyond food to include psychological triggers as well as including foods that have been proven to be addicting to some of us. so yes, i've changed it several times in the last 30 years; but that addiction keeps making me "fall off the wagon" every time i face diet influencing psychological triggers like layoffs, evictions, deportation, etc.
