People eat themselves into oblivion and they deserve disability for it? Judas priest. Now if a person has a bonafide medical condition, apart from a clinically insatiable appetite for pizza and ice cream, then that’s a whole different matter.

Many of the really obese people I know do have some contributing medical condition. The ones who just overeat are usually obese by medical standards, but are not the ones you look at and think enormous.

By insurance company standards, if you are not a rail you are obese. My family is extremely large boned (all that German-Scot blood), and my son has to pay a 25% surcharge although I don’t consider him fat.

There might be a bright side to this. Being we’re all obese, that brings us all under the victim umbrella!

I totally agree with you, go to any "All You Can Eat" restaurant & watch them heap the food on to their plates, about 6 times!
