If it’s a disease they can punish you for not losing weight like they told you.

“Obesity is defined as a body mass index (BMI)—a ratio of height over weight—of 30 or higher.”

I bet many pro-athletes are now stunned that they are considered overweight or obese because of their BMI.

Obesity now declared “disease,”

Another group who will apply en mass for disability.

Now airlines won’t be able to charge fat people more as that would be a violation of Americans with Disabilities act.

Better be careful how you treat an overweight applicant. I see more discrimination claims coming soon.

Workmen’s comp claims should see an increased activity

Can they claim disability now?
Can they challenge higher insurance rates and higher plane seating charges?

Do you look it up under fat, obese, huge or what when you're looking for a specialist??

Many years ago my mother went to the doctor because she got really overweight. He put her on a diet. It was simple....don't eat like a pig. She lost wait and learned to sustain....No breakfast!! Just black coffee!!

But being obese has no effect whatsoever on lifespan. That’s determined by many different other factors.
