So how does weighing over 250 lbs each qualify any of these folks as "too obese to work"? Perhaps certain occupations - like fashion model, flight attendant, and tv reporter - are closed to them, but I'm not thin enough or pretty enough to qualify for any of those occupations either. If weighing over 250 lbs makes one "too obese to work", I would think a large number of IT professionals (my field) and NFL players would qualify. What is the <a href="http://www.naafa.org/" rel="nofollow">NAAFA's</a> position on this weighty matter?
