So now they'll be able to force "treatment" on fat people, whether their weight is effecting their health or not. Which will be terrible because in the vast majority of cases, obesity is NOT curable any more than tallness, or pale skin is curable because it is just a physical feature that is sometimes related to diseases, not a disease itself.
I seem to remember another marginalized group of people who were told that it was their own fault and that it was a disease and a choice and they could be cured if they just tried hard enough. Ask any gay person how that all worked out for them.

Abusive comment hidden.
(Show it anyway.)
The "epidemic" was invented by bad science, and the re-defining of "Obese" to include millions of Americans who were previously classed as "normal" or "overweight".
Look for an article at Cato.org called "The Myth of an 'Obesity Tsunami.'"
There is not an epidemic of obesity. There is an epidemic of intolerance toward fat people.
