Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

EEOC now claims obesity is a disability under ADAAA. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) now claims obesity is a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA). Until now, the courts have routinely rejected general obesity as a "disability" under the ADA and Rehabilitation Act. Cases have required one to show some different underlying medical condition that is a disability and that causes obesity as a "symptom." Now the EEOC has filed suit, claiming that a company discriminatorily fired an employee because of obesity. The EEOC claims that ever since President George W. Bush authorized the ADA Amendments Act in 2008, the law has a much lower threshold for what constitutes a disability. The EEOC claims that basic obesity, without any other underlying condition, sufficiently impacts the life activities of bending, walking, digestion, cell growth, etc., to qualify as a disability or perceived disability. EEOC v. Resources for Human Development (E.D. LA.2010).

You keep pushing us mass-challenged people around and there is going to be a stonewall uprising. we haven’t chosen this lifestyle, we were born this way. we need more government funding for fat people.
So fat people, who need to exercise more, are going to get a handicapped parking spot and exercise less?
I just dont get it ;)
” I’ve hired fat people before and they’ve always been trouble. “
