Abstract
In light of the UK’s recent obesity strategy, as well as recent global developments on the topic, Dimitrinka Atanasova outlines some of the arguments for and against classifying obesity as a disease. She argues that, as it stands, it is wiser to stick with the status quo: see obesity as a contributor to chronic diseases.
