Re: Is Obesity a Disability?
I think it's a very complex issue. For example, why are people who live in poverty more likely to be obese, than say the rich? You'd think those who could afford more food would be more likely to be overweight.It's the 'quality' of food, different types of food, and the way food is prepared (and preserved) that makes the difference.
Gluten (the protein in wheat) is known to block neurotransmitters. Try cutting out all wheat products for a month and see how much more clearly you can think. I've done this test several times - I certainly notice the difference! (No, I am not celiac - I have had the test).
As I said it's a complex issue - him being overweight, 'snappy', dim... they are all connected in my opinion. To food.

Re: Is Obesity a Disability?
I would also ask if anyone doesn't think obesity caused problems are a disability or it's a lifestyle choice shouldn't we also consider people injured by sport or driving their cars too fast etc as not disabled too as they have also made a lifestyle choice ? or anorexics ? starving themselves the opposite side of the coin to obesity surely that too should be looked at as obesity is ?
