"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.... |

Sure it can. In fact, the problem is that your body processes it too quickly. Well no, not necessarily. It is converted to glucose and used to fuel your cells. The EXCESS is converted to fat.

I honestly don't think the AMA is trying to say it's not a decision. I think they're trying to classify it as a disease for education and treatment purposes. Note this in the OP article:

Nah, I didn't decide to eat that pie. I bumped into a table and the entire pie and 3 twinkies just fell into my mouth.

It's no different than alcoholism. Being addicted to alcohol, food, tobacco, etc....

I'll say the same thing here that I said on Facebook: all this will do is allow the Fatties to all collect more health benefits. Now they'll have a better excuse to get a second free seat on the airlines, bigger chairs at the movie theater, free scooters at the front of stores, extra parking up front... "Hey, I have the 'obesity disease', so I need handicapped plates!" **** that shit, **** all the Fatties, and **** this country sometimes, I'll tell you.

Fasting is awesome. Don't eat all day and then grab all you need in a single meal. Love it. I can go till 4 or 5 pm without eating at times and then have a big dinner. I usually do eat lunch, but never even bother with breakfast anymore.
