"Obesity is a disease not a decision"
This is a new campaign that the American Medical Association actually declared obesity a disease! Billboards with this phrase are popping up around the country.
I've worked out for 10 years straight and I definitely sacrifice eating shit food even though I enjoy it just as much as the next guy. THIS IS A DECISION I HAVE CONSCIOUSLY MADE. http://posttrib.suntimes.com/news/da...n-disease.html Discuss.... |

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 |

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

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.

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.
