The condition is that the affected people feel unable to work combined with the willingness to follow a medical program to counteract the obesity. This can be some kind of combination of physical activity, weight-loss drugs, consulting nutritionists, psychologists, etc.
“Under certain consitions”? Yeah it hurts for both of these people to move, but only one COUNTS! Jfc
I think they’re gonna judge on whether the condition is voluntary or not.
How can you become obese involuntarily? Someone barges into your home every 2 hours and shoves food down your gullet?
It’s not very common but some people do have metabolic disorders or thyroid issues that make it extremely difficult to not gain weight, no matter what they do.
It’s anecdotal but I knew a man who joined the Navy at 18 - thin as a rail. He had some sort of reaction to one of the jabs he was given during boot camp.
He put on 200+ pounds in less than a year - he spent only a few days in the hospital, so no months in bed just eating. Once he was discharged from the hospital and Navy, he went home and went to work. Just living like he had before but just kept putting on weight.
No diet he tried worked. Even exercise and dieting (which works for most people) made no difference.
His case is definitely an outlier but it does happen.
well yknow how depression and homelessness isn’t voluntary … or gambling addictions, alcoholism … yeah … obesity can be a disorder in the same way
we’re all struggling through life in different ways - just because you can avoid over eating doesn’t mean everyone has that inate ability right this second
Well you can have a situation where someone only has money or time to consume food that is poor in nutrients but rich in calories, so they either die of not consuming enough nutrients or they gain weight by consuming too many calories.
And then there are mental illnesses that fester since mental healthcare is a mess.
i recognize being swiss as a disability under certain viewpoints.
Fuckin fat people. It’s so fucking offensive to me when fat fucks think their laziness is comparable to legit chronic disabilities.
Oh no! You got type 2 diabetes for being so fucking fat and lazy?! Please tell me how that is on par with my type 1 diabetes and the hypoglycemic seizures it causes anytime the amount of carbohydrates I think is in any prepared food and is less than the actual amount of carbs in the food.
Oh your type 2 diabetes will go away if you weren’t so fucking fat?!? Please tell me how that is worse than taking 4-8 injections of insulin every day for the rest of my fucking life.
Fuck fat people.
