The medical establishment considers obesity to be an illness, in the sense that it is a serious medical condition, but disagree about the root causes of non-hormone related obesity. The medical world is nearly unanimously agreed that obesity is a big problem in the Western world, and in fact becoming a problem world wide. 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.
