| Abstract: | The etymology of the word says it all ("Pension win for obese ex-soldier", June 21, p1). Obesity, from the Latin obesitas, means "stout, fat, or plump". Esus is the past participle of edere (to eat), with ob (over) added to it. Obesity becomes morbid when it increases the risk of many physical and mental conditions. It is caused mainly by excessive food energy intake and can be treated by dieting. How sad that an ex-soldier was led to a "lifetime of overeating, being served three meals and morning and afternoon tea each day". |
