HEAD OF THE BRITISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION SAYS OBESE PEOPLE ARE JUST GREEDY [+] serious ballot by Kev24 created Thu Aug 02, 07 from the article -- Obese people are often simply greedy and should not always be treated with pills, the head of the British Medical Association has said. Dr Hamish Meldrum believes an obsession with medical labels may be stopping overweight people addressing their own problems. He said the obesity epidemic is being mistakenly targeted with medical treatments and doctors' appointments. Dr Meldrum told our sister paper, the Evening Standard: "We are saying, 'This patient has a hyper-appetite problem' rather than, 'They are just greedy.' "People like to put fancy labels that suggest things are a medical problem. But is not just a problem for GPs, it is societal. "We are in danger of over-medicalising. The evidence of anti-obesity drugs is not good. The evidence for effective intervention in primary care for obesity is very weak." Almost one in four adults and a quarter of 11 to 15-year-olds in Britain are obese, according to the World Health Organisation. ^ basically this tender dr. with a wonderful bedside manner is saying to fat people "you're a fat slob who eats too much! there's nothing wrong with you except the fact that you never met a cake you didn't like!" agree with him or not? yes, fat people are fat cuz they eat too much not necessarily. some people are obese for legitimate health reasons i will comment below Ballot #116653 : SEE RESULTS Comment: show your vote with comment?
