Which of the following statements,if true, undermines the givenargument? Correct Answer Obesity is the result of eating of too\much and of a sedentary lifestyle and\cannot be defined as a disease per se.

The given argument states that obesity should be categorized as a serious disease as it is known to decrease life expectancy and to harm the normal functioning of the body just like any other life-threatening disease. Option B undermines the argument by pointing out that obesity is mostly a lifestyle problem and not a disease. Compared to 40 years ago, people today spend more time commuting, sitting in front of a computer, watching television, playing video games, and generally exercising less, and end up burning fewer calories. Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.

Recent research has even indicated that there may be a relationship between obesity and some types of cancer. Major public health campaigns that increase awareness and propose simple lifestyle changes that will, with diligence and desire, eliminate or least mitigate the incidence of obesity are a crucial first step in battling this critical problem.
