The AMA is a political lobbying group. They classify obesity as a disease because it allows them access to more insurance money. Their main goal is to make their members increased profits, not to actually look out for human health.

Fair enough. Which medical organization then classifies diseases? For the psychiatric world, disorders are classified under the DSM. So who does it in the traditional medical field?
