Title: Obesity Officially Declared a Disease.
Post by: redsforlife on Jun 25, 2013, 02:32: PM
The AMA has officially declared obesity as a disease. This is what is wrong with America. At minimum, 90% of people that are obese are that way with no fault other than poor diet and lack of exercise. It's probably closer to 99.9999%, but I am leaving room for the very very few that genuinely have some type of disorder.

I'm just glad I won't have to hear US citizens talk about fat acceptance and all that crap any more.

Huh? This actually made it worse. The obese community hates this. They are campaigning to list themselves as not a disease. I know, it doesn't really make sense to me either. They are either fat, because they made poor life choices, or they are fat, because of genetics. Just choose one. I know which one I believe is correct.

I see what you mean. I nearly forgot what I was thinking when I said that. I meant that they can't say they're normal any more :13:
