Line 8: − − The rise in obesity in more economically developed countries has correlated with in increase in liberalism. The rate of Obesity increase in the USA has corresponded with whether there has been a democrat or republican president in office.

Bush]]'s presidency. <ref>http://www.obesityinamerica.org/trends.html</ref>

'''Obesity''' is a medical classification regarding an extreme and unhealthy level of excessive body weight. It is a more serious classification on the [[Body Mass Index]] (BMI) scale than ''overweight''. Some consequences of obesity include Type 2 [[diabetes]], strain on joints, and an increased risk of [[stroke]] and [[heart attack]]. Obesity has become more common in the [[United States]] and is increasing in many developed countries.

Obesity has many causes, including some that are choice and controllable such as sinful overeating ([[gluttony]]) and/or lack of exercise. It can also be caused by improper hormone production or other malfunctions of various brain structures, including in particular the [[hypothalamus]] (site of the reward pathways, [this action=release of serotonin=feeling of pleasure]) and [[thyroid]] gland.

Obesity is most dangerous among the children and the elderly, whose bones, [[liver]]s, and [[lung]]s are too weak to deal with the excess weight and fat. Obesity can significantly shorten a person's lifespan.

Liberals' answer to this problem has been to shift responsiblity from those who are overeating (not including people with medical factors that cause the problems), to regulating how much fat can be in foods, what foods can be served at what resturants, and trying to put financinal penalities on resturants that serve "fatty" foods.
