IMO car dependence in the (vast majority of the) US is a big factor that is hard to reverse, even if food improves. contributes to diabetes, too (not moving much after eating). when i lived in the california suburbs and had to drive everywhere, my daily step count was regularly in the 2500 range (mostly walking from the office to the kitchen smh)... and i love to walk! but it just didn't make sense to walk anywhere, half the stroads didn't even have sidewalks and it was safer to drive. everywhere else i've lived, i get 7500+ steps easily without even noticing.
