Most of the bread in stores is basically flour and sugar.

Bread is made of wheat. Wheat is a fiber.

Yeah sorry fat people, but stuffing your face with french fries and big macs is not a disease

Even if you could make some sort of argument that people get addicted to eating through depression, they are still choosing what they eat and how often they workout/exercise

I dont know anyone who is gonna get fat eating chicken and salads everyday while working out 3 times a week

Lol @ this thread

Fatties gonna fat.

ROFL. You need to do some reading.

certainly, we are not all shaped the same. but, obesity is a disease.

My insurance gets cheaper if I exercise every week. It's how it should be.

How do they know if you are exercising?

Type 2 Diabetes is a disease because it is not causes by obesity. Research has shown that Type 2 has a very very strong genetic component. It runs in families and there are thin Type 2 diabetics.

So, far research has shown that Type 2 deals with at least one disorder in the way the digestive system processes carbs.

You have to live webcam masturbation sessions back to the insurance office.

Every damn day on TV the medical profession is creating a new "disease"; Low-T, OBD, and 100 other bullshit illnesses so both doctors and pharmaceutical companies can keep pumping out drugs and dollars.

It's the biggest scam I've ever seen and being a fat tub of shit is 99.9% choice and .01% illness with only something like an under active thyroid that causes obesity.

Look at all the things we eat and all the eating contests and massive portions. We are one bloated fat nation, myself included.

You go in for a check up. Monthly

Who performs this checkup? What do they check?

That's exactly right. There are extremely obese people who have do not have Type 2 Diabetes, and there are people who are thin as a rail that do.

Being overweight DOES exacerbate the effects of Type 2 Diabetes, but anyone who thinks that people with the disease deserve it because they overeat is an asshole.

Well, I am somewhat overweight. I carry it well. work hard and am currently working out and doing something about it. I absolutely do not believe obesity is a disease. Neither do I believe depression (for the most part) is a disease, but is a result of self-absorption. I don't believe alcoholism is a disease, but a choice. But with there being a psychological diagnosis for every self-control issue, this Pandora's box is now open and not likely to ever close. 100 years ago, there wasn't all of this psycho bull, but now that you can sit home, drink beer and draw a check for being depressed, I guess obesity is fair game as well.
