No it is not considered a disibility, atleast not that im aware of anyway! Yes and no (at least in Canada.)

In medicine, amyloidosis refers to a variety of conditions in which amyloid proteins are abnormally deposited in organs and/or tissues. A protein is described as being amyloid if, due to an alteration in its secondary structure, it takes on a particular aggregated insoluble form similar to the beta-pleated sheet. Symptoms vary widely depending upon the site of amyloid deposition. Amyloidosis may be inherited or acquired.

How does a food allergy differ from a food intolerance?
They are often confused, but are actually very different. An allergy causes vomiting, rashes, breathing problems, diahhrea and a lot of dangerous and painful symptons. An intolerance may induce a rash or itchiness, on the body or around the mouth, but usually nothing more than this. You never need an epi-pen for intolreances, but you often do for proper allergies. A reaction form a person who is allergic would also happen much faster, and could well be fatal.
Allergies can also be aggrivated a lot more easily than intolerances, by touching and breathing in the dust of a food like nuts. An intollerance can only be aggrivated by eating or another form of directly putting the food inside you.
A lot of people say they are 'allergic' to something when actually they are just intollerant. Their reactions are tiny compared to the reactions of seriously allergic people.
Hopefully this allows you to not be confused!

There are many sites where you can get these meshes but the best one is www.modthesims2.com.
It's definitely becoming a problem. Most of these people need to learn about proper nutrition and exercise, and they need to get off their butts and be active for once. It may sound harsh, but it's true if we want to solve this obesity issue.

What do the Glycemic Index numbers mean?
The Glycemic Index (GI) was developed to use as an aid in making better food choices that will help keep your blood sugar levels more steady instead of allowing high peaks after eating certain types of foods (carbohydrates) that are absorbed quickly and cause the blood sugars to rise rapidly. In other words, high Glycemic Carbohydrates are carbs that result in a quick rise in blood sugar. As a starting point a piece of plain white sandwich bread was arbitrarily given an index number of 100.
Then various other foods have been given a relative rating based on the amount of effect they (or more precisely the carbohydrate in them) have on blood glucose levels and if they trigger the release of insulin.
A GI of 55 is regarded as the point at which insulin will be released. It is useful as an indicator of which foods will produce a spike in blood sugar, and which ones (with a lower or zero rating) will break down over a longer period of time and be more gradually released into the blood. In short, the higher the GI rating, the higher the blood glucose will be after consuming the food. A high GI rating is 70 or more, a medium GI is 56 -69, and low GI is 55 or less. When a low GI food is combined with a food of a higher rating, the overall effect will be to lower the GI of the food with a higher rating. Adding fiber also helps lower the glycemic index and makes you feel fuller.
Choosing low GI carbs - the ones that produce only small fluctuations in our blood glucose and insulin levels - is the secret to long-term health - reducing your risk of heart disease and diabetes and is the key to sustainable weight loss.

Oatmeal = 49

Cucumbers = 15

Tomatoes = 15
On the other hand, here are some high-GI carbs (to avoid):
Pretzels = 83
Jelly beans = 80
Waffles = 76
Donut = 76
