Obesity is a disease?

How long have we known that?

And how do we know that?

And tell me why it is a disease.

And so understanding that obesity is a chronic condition that many people throughout the world have.

I have friends who can do that.

I am not one of those people.

And you know you're not one of those people if you've done it.
