In all seriousness, it's a disease.

I just cant get on board with this way of thinking. Maybe its just semantics but labeling laziness or bad habits a "disease" cheapens the word disease and gives fat people an excuse.

obesity isn't contagious, its preventable, curable, and isn't caused by virus or bacteria or genetic condition. If obesity is a disease then any destructive habit can be a disease, which renders the word meaningless.
