I very much agree that obesity should be considered a medical condition and not a behavioural problem. There are fat people who don't want it listed as a "disability" but I highly disagree with that. For some people, it *is* a disability and why should they be denied benefits just because of some peoples' ego? Give me a break. We need to recognize reality and that reality is that fat can be disabling and restrictive. That doesn't have to mean it is that way for everyone.
