I believe that obesity is not a disease because people have the choice whether to keep on eating after they are full or even eating when they are not hungry. But for some cases where people have a low metabolism then they have a reason to be over weight, but they also have the decision to eat right and stay in a good shape.

Do you have the right to your own opinion? I feel that we all have the right to  our own opinion, but to what extent? if you have a job and boss doesn't care what you are saying, so are you just going to say I have the right to my opinion. does that mean he has to care what you have to say. Well now he doesn't because he runs the company and can do what he wants.
