They're just trying to get someone to say that over eating is an "obsessive sickness" so they can try to sway opinions to get people to view being fat as being sick/disabled, so they can get free money for being fat and are trying to become a protected class. How about eating less you fat fucks.

Getting obesity listed as a mental illness might be a good thing. People with other eating disorders, depression, schizophrenia, etc. are put into hospital against their will because they are deemed unable to make decisions about their own care. Sometimes treatment is forced upon them. Even if they refuse to move, they can't get Booger King sent into a closed unit.

They would begin to sue everybody for discrimination if it were labeled a disability.

I get what you're saying, but why waste even more resources just because someone can't put down a fork? You could lock them up until they're at a normal weight and they'd just gain it all back once they were let out. The mentality has to change to fix it and you can't force that. Fats gonna fat.
