Two Days Late
With this Christmas-themed article about the profession of Santa Claus being the only one that doesn't discriminate against the overweight.
"75% of more than 1,000 executives surveyed said being overweight impedes careers."
"...employers who offered health insurance paid their obese workers less per hour and gave them lower raises than comparable employees who weren't obese."
"93% of the respondents said they'd prefer a 'normal weight' job candidate over one who's obese, everything else being equal."
Ho ho ho.

I know I've read somewhere that tall people and pretty people get similar advantages. I some employers pay obese employees less because they are offsetting the increased health insurance costs that come with employing an obese person.
