Why you drag race into this I have no clue. I have left the medical definition, and the encyclopedic definition of obesity, you are incorrect on both counts.
Correct, obese people are gluttons, the expert is the cardiological field, not me. I would say that you place yourself as an expert as you continue to argue against the medical profession with futility.
I have no idea what education you have nor do I care until you can produce more than opinion. I have and I stand with the experts on this, you can stand wherever you want, it won't change the facts.
How overweight are you, btw?
Why you keep attempting to place me as a racist when no one except you has any discusion of race in this thread. It's really a pathetic and shallow ploy.

I made no statement to imply that you are a racists - I was using race as an example while talking about prejudice (as race is the most commonly known form).
For the record - I am 6 feet, 180 pounds - not over weight AT ALL. My adamant stance has nothing to do with my weight nor the weight of anyone in my family (or friends).
"obese people are gluttons" - this comment is where I have the biggest problem with your comments. Not all obese people are gluttons. Are all gluttons obese? Yes, if their gluttony involves food. You constantly group all of one type with the other. Gluttony will produce obesity, I cannot argue that. However, obesity is not ONLY caused by gluttony.
You simply don't get it, apparently. You have your opinion that the two are one in the same - and if the cardiologists told me they are one in the same I would simply produce the definition of both and have enough evidence to dispute the claim.
Obesity is a problem. We (Americans) are WAY overweight. Too many are obese. Obesity (excess weight) can lead to health issues (that a cardiologist would treat). I don't dispute these things. The ONLY thing I'm disputing is your constant claim that obesity is gluttony (and nothing else).
