Why losing weight has gained that much importance? Is it just to promote business, people are discussing this issue globally again and again?

I think losing weight when we are overweight is important because too much fat in the body can lead to a lot of diseases. It is true that people are focusing on business that helps others losing weight. But there are a lot of choices for those who have weight problems to cut down the excess pounds without having to spend too much.

If you can see today, all women and men are becoming obese... many people is very delightful in just eating so much food; junk foods, fast food, fatty foods... So it is really important to lose some weight. Let say we have to discipline our self, if we can't discipline our self's in food, then we have to do it in the way of exercise! Intensive exercise!!! =D

Because i concerns our health. If there is too much fatty deposition in our blood vessels they lead to high blood pressure (hypertension) and if there is already too much of it, it can impede the blood circulation.

Well I think there are a couple of reasons why it is so important. First, yes it is a good business if you are skinny and after working out a little and having the proper nutrition, you can make a video or write a book and people will believe that you have lost weight. For example if I am 300lbs and want to loose weight and I see a book called "5 easy steps to loose 150lbs in 30 days" of course I will buy it. Second, I think many people do not think they are cute or look good because society is judging them so they undergo bypass surgery and stuff like that to look good. Third, it is just healthy to be fit and have good physique, it has been proven by many doctors and professors that healthier and fit people live slightly more than those who are overweight, and with this I am in no way saying that overweight is bad or people look bad I am simply stating a fact.
