ARGENTINE senators have approved a bill declaring obesity and other eating disorders diseases covered by the nation's public and private health care programmes.
The lawmakers unanimously backed the Obesity Law on Wednesday, saying that fighting obesity, anorexia and bulimia is in the national interest.
Patients can now seek treatment under Argentine health programmes.
The law also prohibits the media from releasing diets that aren't backed by a health professional and requires that high-calorie foods carry a warning label.
