Obesity is a disease.

For the last couple of years obesity has been a huge problem. Some of us seem to forget how much commotion this causes in not just our children but ourselves. We have been so wrapped up in society--Yes, even I-- that we forget that this is a disease and we act as if it is inept. When we hear of obesity we connotate it with someone being horribly lazy. Just as we do when some has HIV--disgusting sex addict. We fail to understand their situations and we never even bother to hear them. We judge people. We feel as if it is necessary for them to know how incredibly unattractive they are to us. We are all human and yes we make these awful mistakes but when will we realize that our 2-cents obviously does not make change ? People can do things when it comes to getting healthier but it is easier said than done. Some people look to food they feel as if it is their drug and they are addicted. Some people are showered with it and receiving it as a "reward". We do not treat this as a disease but rather a curse. We are all insensitive and we all look for a cheap laugh at someone else's expense. On May 27, 2004 and three year old died. That baby died because he "chocked on his fat". Obesity is a disease and addiction-- and we enable it just like a drug addicts mother would to their disease. When it's some stranger that is getting laughed at or "checked" its perfectly fine. I guess this is just the way of the world. All in all, the most important thing to know is that this is a disease. And if you treat it like a curse one day it might just haunt you.
