I find it laughable that you're a nurse.

Actually, that is not true. Obesity is included as a disability and as 'perception of disability'

A simple google search would prove it.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) now claims obesity is a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA).

While your weight is not something out of your cobtrol like your ethnicity or orientation and therefore should not be covered by the same regulations, you still shouldn't be allowed to be a dick to someone becuase they're fat like you seem to be trying to be.

How are they being discriminated against? There should not be a federal law forcing anyone to embrace people they dont like.

You are either trolling, or have no understanding of what makes people larger or smaller. There but for the Grace of God go you.

Come back and talk to us when you are 55. If you are still slim and fit, then you'll be allowed to criticize others.
