The real lesson of mall walking is that it came about because in many places there's literally nowhere else you can walk. Non-Americans may be vaguely aware that America has a sickness of car dependency but may be unaware of the extent of it.
I present to you the 26 lane Katy Freeway in Houston, Texas [1].
Non-Americans may not realize just how large these cities are geographically. I believe one end of the Houston metro area to the other is almost as far as London to Birmingham.
Many Americans live in the suburbs. This is complete car dependence. Children in particular often can't go anywhere without being driven.
It's actually depressing what a soulless barren dystopia most of the US actually is.
