I'm seeing a vulgar amount of discrimination these days against the obese. Seems like they should be in consideration for special protections. What say you?

You shouldn’t be allowed to discriminate against things you can’t control:
Race
Age
Sex

And the constitution explicitly cas for freedom of religion so throw that in there.

If you’re to fat too do a certain job, you absolutely should be fired/not hired

My lunch should be in a protected class of refrigerator to protect it from the obese

Need to make standing desks mandatory if you’re overweight

No. But then again, I don't really think there should be protected classes in the workplace.

Agreed. We should offer them their own special insurance plans.

No it really shouldn’t.

If someone wanted to try, though, they could backdoor it in through the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Get the right bleeding hearts to interpret that act in court and you are stuck doing accommodations to someone who has to use a remote camera to see their cock.

I think so. Fat people have been taking it on the chins for too long.
