Is weighing 300 LB or any more considered being disabled?
i was watching an old Simpsons episode where they said weighing 300 lb was considered being disabled and i was wondering if that was true and if not is there a weight that makes you be considered disabled.

No at 300 pounds your life is not threatened by your weight. It's nit healthy, but it is not morbid obesity unless you are 4'5". You have to have other health issues going on besides weight - and be threatening to shorten your life.

Morbid obesity is a disability
but it does not mean that morbid obesity will qualify someone for disability
300 pounds is no "morbid obesity" for a person who is over 6 feet... that usually takes more weight.. like 375
for Hipster.. some people who are obese are not lazy... your ignorance is showing!

No, the fact that you are fat does not make you disabled, but being fat does disable you from doing certain things, not because youre too fat but because youre too lazy.
