I'm not able to read the article because I canceled my New York Times subscription. But blaming obesity on the environment seems very backward.

To me, defining obesity as a disease is a new way of looking at it.

There are physiological processes and signals which contribute separate from willpower and the environment.

Making MONEY! The diet biz will all fail now and exericse is in trouble, but not for my company: www.physicalmindinstitute.com
