I agree, but for many different reasons. Obese and Morbid Obesity are NOT Healthy for a human and non-human body. Too many Americans are consuming too many calories which do not contain healthy benefits. A person affected by "water" weight is a much different issue then excess fat. Fat is produced from eating fatty foods. Too much and too many. Poor eating habits are the leading cause, with physical limitations being a minor cause. Eating "greens" is not popular and fast foods prevail. Removing obesity from the list of disabilities means that a person who is morbidly overweight will have the motivation to lose those unproductive pounds.....

Hi All, The America Medical Association (AMA) is gathering this week to discuss many things. One subject they voted on was that obesity is NOT a disability, which I concur. What do all of you think about this subject? ~ Bobbie ____________________________________ Download the _AOL Classifieds Toolbar_ (http://toolbar.aol.com/aolclassifieds/download.html?ncid=emlcntusdown00000004) for local deals at your fingertips. **************Download the AOL Classifieds Toolbar for local deals at your fingertips.
