First Ladies have to have some program to work on. Hers is obesity. No better nor worse than past First Ladies'.

I wish her good luck with it. Obesity is a problem

(lookin at my gut) It sure is.

More power to her. I can't really see the entire US population becoming so overweight that there won't be anyone left in good enough health to serve the country, but, okeedokee then.

(looks at own gut)

I'm out of beer.

Obesity is NOT a disease.

It depends. There can be genetical dispositions causing it. Then it should be understood as a disease. And when bad eating habits have caused certain physiological anomalies and organic dysfunctions, then it also can be called a disease. and when it causes additional disease symptoms of secondary degree, then it surely should be understood as a disease, too.

Saying in general obesity is no disease is like saying diabetes is no disease, or high blood pressure.

Let me rephrase: In most cases obesity is NOT a disease.

It would be a genetic disorder I believe. It is something you do not catch or develop. Speaking of which, was it not the German army pulled out on the carpet for obesity?
