"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.... |

But they have a higher incidence of stroke, congestive heart failure and heart attacks. All which require more invasive live saving and cost measures.

Disgusting.
There's got to be a ridiculously small percentage of the population that can actually blame their weight woes on a medical condition. Most people just like food and lounging too much to do anything about it. Close your mouth and move your legs; it's very simple. |

It's obviously a choice to be fat. In 1980 few were fat. If we were really meant to have fat people in our society, why did it just start recently?
If you are fat stop eating fast food. Drink water for every meal. You will lose weight immediately. |

Posted same link at the same time. I will say that more research dollars will be going into "obesity" with this disease classification, which is absurd considering we know the cause of it. I would rather that money be granted for more just causes than telling people not to be lazy, eat right and exercise.

If alcoholism is a disease I imagine obesity could be classified as one too.

This isn't a vendetta against fat people, as I stated. Life is short and people chose to drink/eat what they want. No problem. We all put orders on what is important in our life. This is a thread regarding the absolute horse-shit nature of our soft weak country giving further into creating an even lazier culture. There isn't more shit we need to research about the expanding waists of individuals in the USA. The answer is pretty ****ing clear.

Sorry but you are conflating two different things. Obesity can be a choice and still be a disease. If a smoker gets lung cancer, is it not a disease in their case because they chose to smoke? Does someone who tans everyday and gets skin cancer not have a disease? Why is Type 2 Diabetes, which is the result of obesity, a disease but obesity isn't?
I don't know whether obesity should be classified as a disease or not, I just think your argument is horseshit. |
