Is obesity really a problem (Yes) or a hype (No)?
With 1.6 billion people overweight worldwide, obesity is now recognised as a major global health threat - even in the developing world.

YES # Yes, it really augurs very badly for the future health of the population as we see more and more obese people around.
# Society must stop seeing the condition as an individual's "failing" and act to help people live more healthily.
# It's an epidemic that increases the risk of developing a very large number of diseases with a significant impact on longevity.
NO # Obesity is the natural product of a society that claims "everything is relative, what is bad for you may be good for me - there is no such thing as a bad thing'
# It is a hype which is not completely conducive to a healthier lifestyle but to stigmatise obese people.
