Am I fat? Yes! Am I disabled? No! Don't tar me with your labels!

Shouldn't disability be defined as something that cannot easily be improved to allow people to have a normal life? |

A lot of fat people could easily lose wight...... By not eating burgers, chips, takeaways etc and doing more exercise. I include my self in that list. If I really really wanted to, I could. |

'Cannot easily be improved' is a tough one. For a lot of people their weight and issues with food cannot easily be improved. I'm not sure that's a good definition of a disability. I don't believe that being overweight is a disability as such, but being very overweight can have all sorts of effects on the body which might qualify. |

Isn't classifying it as a disability a licence for people to gorge themselves? If it is possible to section anorexics to help them get better, surely the same thing should be possible for fat people?
