Abstract
The Massachusetts Medical Society Committee on Nutrition wishes to go on record as opposing the editorial entitled “Losing Weight — An Ill-Fated New Year's Resolution” (Jan. 1 issue).1 The editorial contradicts the position held by the Committee on Nutrition in its publication Obesity Treatment Using Drug Therapy. In addition, we take issue with the view expressed by Dr. Angell in a February 9 Wall Street Journal article.2 In the article, Dr. Angell is quoted as saying that some people “just like to eat — and in that case it's no more of a disease than bank robbery is a disease.”
