    Want to lose weight?

    Well it depends who you ask. Some claim having to pay for the extra seat they take up is discrimination. I say the plane/theater/whatever would lose money since they can’t use that seat. Beyond that it’s the same discrimination most would face, which is that you can’t usually prove it. Someone may say well I can’t get a certain job, and it could be true at said company BUT you’d have to prove it.

    Well, when they walk down the street, people stare and snicker, especially children. I guess alot of people see fat people as lazy slobs with uncontrollable eating habits.

    Some obese people don’t get hired because of their weight. There was a woman who went to apply for a job, she was big but she had an excellent resume. And the other applicant was a skinny male, and he had a horrible resume, but he ended up getting the job.
