But is it? You can't choose your race. I know that some obese people have medical problems which causes the obesity. But the majority of overweight people eat too many calories for their daily lifestyles. This lifestyle can be modified by eating less and exercising more.
So what I'm saying is that in most cases, it a choice.
You are what you are , at the end of the day whether your Black,White ,fat or thin you shouldnt be discriminated against.
Anyway why should we all be thin and exercise , if I want a beer belly ,two chins and live life comfortably thats my choice.
That should have nothing to do with getting a job ,especially an office one.
you are right it shouldnt stop you getting a job but in certain instances it does happen
Like the receptionist at a health farm!
