@Heeven,
HEEVEN: I ran across your post today and I think you need to know that what you questioned (Obese people will not get jobs, regardless of their skill-set or excellent attendance record?) has happened. Prime, INC, CR England, and other trucking companies will not hire you if your BMI (Body mass index) indicates that you are obese or just a little overweight. It does not matter to these companies that a person does not display high blood pressure, diabetes, etc. They just won't hire you. Yep the federal government as well as private businesses are sticking their noses into our private lives and we have no course of action to stop them now. The time for action was way back when states started regulating our smoking by passing laws that the public did not vote on, we should have stood up for our rights as individuals who are capable of making choices.
