So is the "motivation to lose those unproductive pounds" in the same
class as "motivation to stop gambling" or "motivation to stop drinking or
"motivation to stop smoking" or "motivation to start walking"? It's all just
mind over matter? Just man-up and DO IT? I guess since these are all signs
of mental weakness, we could just lock up fat people until they lost
weight to where they could walk again. That would work. Maybe put the
drinkers, smokers, and gamblers in there too - they could have a party. Just
because you don't have a problem doesn't mean it doesn't "count" as a problem.
These people are damaged and need help not ostrization.
Young people talk of the future because they have no past,
while old people talk of the past because they have no future.

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.....
Best Wishes

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
