Fat Is Now A Disease

[firstdown]

The thing is the AMA went against their own councel making this a disease and its all about the money. Now that its a disease its going to be covered by insurance and that was the key for them. Now every little fat fight plan will be covered by insurance, easy gliders, collect disibilty easier, etc...

Damn I thought I was fat because I took in more calories than I burned off, not because it is a disease. In my defense I was once a work out warrior but injuries and failed surgeries have left me unable to do anything more than walk slow, which doesn't hardly burn any calories. I think they misuse the disease label to try to get through to people to help them. They have been calling drug addiction and alcoholism a disease for years. I guess saying "You need to get help for your disease" will get a person to listen better than "Stop stuffing your face and drinking beer, you fat drunk."
