Last week, the American Medical Association voted to classify obesity as a disease. In one day, 78 million American adults and 12 million American children were deemed to have a medical condition that needs treatment.The decision was controversial to say the least.n some ways, cataloging obesity as a disease is a way of conferring legitimacy: it is a condition, not a lapse in willpower; it warrants medical attention; it is worthy of insurance coverage. All of that is positive.
A reason the AMA decided in favor of obesity as a disease is that it will decrease the stigma of obesity that comes from the widespread thought that it is just the outcome of excessive eating and not enough exercise. Doctors say some people do not have complete control of their weight.
