Doesn't make sense.  Any biological reason for obesity that does not involve overfeeding is already recognized as a disease.  Fatties are going to be lined up for benefits like it was an all you can eat buffet.

it's not normal

it's not about "willpower" either


there are millions of skinny people with absolutely ZERO will power


they dont exercise or diet


they just dont shovel ungodly qty of food down days-weeks-months-years-decades on end

it's just not normal

nothing to do with "will power"


serious mental illness or genetic vatiation

AMA is bunch of liberal doctors. They're cure for this "disease" is to prescribe a baggie of weed. That should fix it, the cronic clinics and Doritos would make a fortune.

Fatties have been calling it a disease for years.  Now that most doctors are fat too, it only makes sense.

Makes a lot of sense.

Once classified as a disease, only a drug approved by the FDA will be able to claim to help 'cure' it.

There are legitimate medical conditions that cause obesity and require medical intervention.  The problem is that obesity is a general term that describe a condition but says nothing about how that condition came to be.

You may start seeing people who recieve SSI disability who can't work due to being obese (might be a lot already), yet they can eat all they want. What incentive is there to be in shape? Or to be responsible? There is none. The people who are in shape, or work hard or are responsible are punished by paying for those who are the opposite.
That should be the other way around.
