Disease? Maybe, maybe not. Genetics? Of course. Mental, definitely... same as anorexia, bulemia, and all other addict behaviors.

I also love how people think that fast food or junk food is the only cause of obesity. There are millions of overweight people who hardly ever eat out or eat junk food. Most people gain weight simply from having a higher caloric intake than their metabolism can burn off. You CAN get fat eating apples, bananas, lettuce, and carrots everyday, if you eat too much and don't exercise/move enough. Healthy doesn't mean anything if you eat too much of it. Some people say "Oh I eat healthy." Yeah, well just because it's healthy doesn't mean eating it will make you thinner.

Anyway, people who are overweight KNOW that it's not a disease and some like to sugarcoat it with the label. But who cares? You think telling someone they are fat is going to help them? Some people are emotional eaters, some people just enjoy food, some people have lifestyles that contribute to their bad eating habits. Bottom line is, live and let live. People are people... all shapes, sizes, and colors. I don't think anybody has the right to attack what someone looks like or even judge their habits/addictions... what someone looks like shouldn't have any bearing on who they are as a person.
