Is obesity a disability?

Asked by SuperMouse (30845points) July 2nd, 2010

The American’s with Disabilities Act considers obesity a disability. I found this article saying that doctors are fighting this designation. What do you think, should obesity be considered a disability for purposes of employment and other types of discrimination? Bonus question: Should people be issued handicapped parking tags solely because they are obese?
