Here's what all the pride and "celebrating" their obesity will get "activists" like her - an early grave.
Kinda figures, since it comes from Liberalism.

Taking personal responsibility is so old fashioned.
It is much more fun to blame somebody else for your problems!

But on Thursday, the New York City council passed a bill that would make it illegal to discriminate against height and weight in housing, employment, and public accommodations.Notice they excluded the fashion industry, which is one of THE greatest contributors to young girls’ self-image problems, anorexia, bulimia, and other problems.

>>Women considered obese earned $5.25 less per hour than women considered normal weight
So, the gym membership would pay for itself then...

Foolish nonsense. They shouldn’t be discriminated against for jobs they can do. But there are legitimate jobs where excess weight is a legitimate problem. Safety being one of them. Physically exhaustive jobs is another. It is not a matter of picking on anyone. It is just a real fact. How would it go if they were soldiers climbing the countryside in a war zone? How about traversing the 2nd floor of a burning home while conducting rescue operations? There are countless examples.
This is more progressive nonsense to deny reality and mess up the world.

It's the employer's way of getting them healthier.
By neccesity, less of their money goes to food and more of their money goes to pay the rent.

“Fat” and “Activist” are really not two words that occur together much with these people.
