I'm not sure, but should obesity be treated as a handicap?

Obesity & disability: Obesity can cause impairment of vital organs and body systems leading to disability which in turn can cause "handicap". Obesity should be treated (sic) as a medical problem & addressed as a public health issue. Interestingly, the most common guide* used by clinician to address impairment/disability/handicap does not address obesity! (* ama guides to the evaluation of permanent impairment).
