re: Do you believe obesity is a disability?

EXACTLY!

Think of it this way. If you're in the "normal" range, you're good. If you're just slightly in the overweight range but you CURRENTLY work out regularly and you know you're in good shape, you're good and I don't have to tell you this.

BUT

If you're in the "obese" range and you're not a competitive body builder or strongman of some type, spin it any way you want, but you carry too much fat and you should lose weight.

It's not perfect but if you follow those guidelines I think it's accurate enough.

eta: And I'm talking about general health here, not "looking good at the beach" or anything like that.
