I can understand that...how about people who are not officially disabled just obese? Obesity is crippling..These young fat people are a ticking time bomb for the future..
Obesity is a very real problem.
It seems in the animal kingdom most animals ( excluding pets ) are within normal weight ranges for their species.
There are many reasons people gain weight including over eating but it looks like certain chemicals also trigger obesity including a link to certain antibiotics that were taken during childhood.
Steroids are given to people with painful joints, backs, knees etc and these too can cause weight gain.
Medical science is working on this problem but I personally think part of the hold up is there is so much money to made in the diet industry that some really do not want to find the real cause and a real solution to obesity.
