I wonder how LOWE'S is going to deal with their OBESE employees, since the Surgeon General said that Obesity has now passed smoking, alcoholism and poverty for health care and disease! Is LOWE'S going to put the OBESE employees on strict diets? Loose pounds or lose job?

If Lowe's wanted to pass anti-obesity rules, are you suggesting the company shouldn't be allowed to? By what authority? The Americans with Disabilities Act?

Hey! They can pick and choose whomever they want to hire. But they should have set down ground rules before they started the hiring process. Changing rules in midstream is not right. What choice do these people have now? They are being forced into something they do not want, and it's just going to add to more misery or hating to go to work.

They are going to sneak cigarettes in places that might not be in a safe area. I think it's terrible.

Also, what about the Anti-Discrimination Act? This is discrimination.
