***

I can see a day, in this age of entitlements, when it will be. In fact, obesity may already qualify now as a disability in some situations.

Usually, it’s not the obesity, but the health problems that accompany it, which cause the disability — e.g., heart and lung problems, amputations from diabetes, etc.

Ahh, you have hit upon my personal Chicken-egg quandary

Are they fat because they’re handicapped, or handicapped because they are fat.

The mind can boggle with possibilities.

I am “fat” but I also have two VA service-connected disablities (heart disease & high blood pressure). Should I not use one of these to satisfy you?
