On what basis is obesity classified as a disease? I don't get it. It's a side effect definitely, but a disease in itself? Someone please explain to me.
The definition of a disease is “a condition . . . that impairs normal functioning and is typically manifested by distinguishing signs and symptoms.” Obesity results in adverse metabolic, biomechanical, and psychosocial health consequences.

It's the same reasoning why addiction is considered a disease as well, though both are still central parts of discussion regarding disease.
