Is obesity a disease?
The United States is the second most obese country in the world. A 2013 report stated that 31.8% of Americans were obese, compared to 14% in the mid-1970s.
Obesity also accounts for about 10% of deaths and healthcare spending in the United States.
Some people feel that obesity is a disease because it decreases life expectancy and can be caused by genetic factors.
But other peopel think that it is simply the result of over-eating and not exercising and therefore entirely preventable.
What do you think? And why?
