Obesity isn't a disease.
Diseases are like things that are caught or made and make you ill.
Obesity can make you ill obviously but it is just people being purely lazy
People say it is a mental disease but i don't think it is i mean you can stop eating and you can swap fatty foods for healthier alternatives and you can get up and exercises they just choose not too.Health Question & Answer

That obesity is a cause of disease is not in doubt. Increased risk of arthritis, cancers, heart disease just to name the big ones.
Is it a disease in itself.? Well then I guess you need to decide on a definition of disease. If it is an abnormal condition which causes a person a degree of discomfort and suffereing then some but not all people who are obese may choose to define their body weight as a disease irregardless of how they got themselves there in the first place e.g, if a skydiver breaks his leg, is the broken leg not a disease just because he decided to do something stupid like jump out of a plane.?
Certain types of obesity may have a hormonal cause and certain medications that people may be on can cause weight gain. I do agree with you though that the vast majority of obese people are obese because they eat too much and exercise too little.

I answered a similar question before...
Doctors should monitor the patient for a period, to make sure no contributing factors such as stress, depression, blood disorders or digestive problems aren't contributing.
But if the person is gourmandising, then it is lack of self-control. Just like gamblers. It is not a disease and people should stop looking for easy ways out.
If it was a disease, they could sue McDonalds and KFC for 'infecting' them couldn't they.?Health Question & Answer
