Heavier women are more likely to be lighter in the wallet, reports a new study that says obese females tend to occupy lower-paying, more-strenuous jobs in less-visible corners of the U.S. workforce when compared to average-sized women and men.

In fact, the link between extra pounds and leaner paychecks is distinct: When a woman “becomes overweight,” she already is less likely to land a public-facing role in better-paying white-collar jobs, according to research released Tuesday by Vanderbilt University.

And women who are considered obese or morbidly obese — based on their body mass indexes — are more likely to forced into some of the cheapest-paying, most labor-intensive roles in industries such as home health, food prep and child care, said Jennifer Shinall, the study's author and an assistant professor of law at Vanderbilt Law School....

She was the one I thought of too. Right up front when it came time for the B-day cake

Can I be brutally blunt for just one minute. I am putting up the ‘just saying’ shield so no one can flame me. Let’s face it, attractive women ARE more valuable at the workplace. Did you ever see an attractive woman salesperson. She can open doors with just a smile. People pay attention to attractive women, go out of their way to please them. Attractive women at the complaint desk get less grief. They bring in more customers. Okay, I think I have said enough.

My boss a few years back was morbid obese, mean, and just ugly inside and out. I’ll throw in control freak too.

I heard that she tried gastric bypass and failed. She made good money.

I suggest not knocking something until you've tried it.

She was nice, but she couldn’t climb stairs, she couldn’t go on errands, she couldn’t come in early or leave late, she couldn’t carry anything, she couldn’t stand for more than a few minutes, etc, etc, etc.

We have a man like that in our office and the rest of us have to do more to make up for it.

That’s sad because, I mean, how they afford to stuff their maw?

Moreover, Conservative women are attractive and weigh ion proper proportion to other facts such as age and height. It's a verifiable fact that liberal women are ugly and most are disgustingly fat. Sodomy in the form of lesbianism is a trait common to leftists and they are, with little exception, hideous.

As but one example among millions, consider the vile moochelle hussein vs. the lovely Governor Sarah Palin.

The checks are actually the same size, they just look smaller next to the big women.

Ohhh, I would totally knock that...

What are you talking about? Seinfeld did a whole episode on this very point.

Nobody likes fat. Train for the mile in track. I workout a lot. Get off your obese ass and exert. Stop stuffing your face or die. Your choice.

The classic its .. all medias fault.. does not hold much water when in the pre mass media days the concept of beauty was not all that different.

also see.. golden ratio.

not to be too blunt. but Jim Fixx is quite dead as well.

But being heavy is no fun, and the results long term are as a rule quite negative.
