Obesity can be a symptom of another disease. There are chronic diseases that create hormonal imbalances and cause people to put on weight or not be able to lose weight but I don't think obesity itself is a disease.
Do you agree that it's a voluntary condition? It's something that people can avoid, if they choose to?

Not in all cases but in most cases. As mentioned there are some diseases that cause people to put on weight or not be able to lose weight. There are also diseases and injuries that limit people's ability to be physically active which can lead to obesity as a symptom. I don't think it is a disease.

I get your point. There are some diseases like Thyroid that can lead to obesity but then Thyroid is the disease not Obesity.
I also think the pharma con machine is running this Obesity Disease, smoking disease, Alcohal disease propoganda.
