The move by the American Medical Assn. board means that one-third of adults and 17% of children in the U.S. have a medical condition that requires treatment.Obesity can be caused by many things. It's clearly a symptom, not an illness. Basic classification.
This definition however, is being made by the group of people who make their money off treating illness.
Considering the skyrocketing rate of obesity- they certainly haven't had much success with the symptom.
But now they can get more insurance money to tell more fat people to eat more carbs.
Profiting off their own incompetence.
See how that works?
