Morbid obesity a eating disorder?

Morbid obesity a eating disorder?
I want everyones opinion. I think that morbid obesity is no different from anorexia. They are both severe eating disorders that can cause death, they have severe impacts on the persons health. Yet it seems that everyone points and laughs at people who are morbidly obese and say things like why dont they just exercise and stop eating so much, yet those same people look at an anorexic and say they need help before they die they need to be put in the hospital. Just curious

There is an eating disorder called chronic over eating, however you also have to remember that genetics play a large role in how big someone is. Some people naturally have higher metabolisms while some people naturally can't eat 3 donuts before gaining a pound.

That said, if someone is morbidly obese they should probably start exercising for the sake of their health but losing weight, for some people- especially people of that size- isn't exactly easy.

Yes, it's called food addiction. People are out of control with their eating and it's a form of mental illness.

Yeah I would say that it is an eating disorder.
