Oh yes of course, it's a "disease" that happened to put a chocolate bar into my mouth last night.

You are so confident in your knowledge on this topic that you deflect and post an irrelevant link. Brilliant dialog and engagement, what a great debate we are having here.

BRB my disease is inflicting me with a carb-loaded bagel this morning. You see, it is not simply that I am overconsuming calories for whatever reason (addictive / compulsive reward seeking behavior? No certainly not), instead the simple physics of weight gain and weight loss is a disease.

Damnit, I dropped my iPhone on the floor. It must be that disease of physics known as gravity!

You are talking past each other.

Consider smokers. Addiction and pulmonary cancer is a disease. Smoking cigarettes everyday for decades is not per se but it's a cause.

We tend to have special moral treatment for diseases that are preventable and caused by one's own behavior.
